Global Classic 11-inch Flexible Fillet Knife

Global Classic 11-inch Flexible Fillet Knife

A whole side of salmon, a large striped bass or a halibut needs a fillet knife long enough to reach across the fish. The G-19 has a 27 cm flexible blade that covers the width of a large fillet, so it comes off the frame in long, even strokes with fewer stops and restarts that leave ragged flesh.

The flex lets the blade follow the backbone and ride over the rib bones, and its length keeps the edge flat against the skin when skinning a full side in one pass. In a restaurant or fish market, that length saves time on every fish. For smaller fish the extra blade gets in the way, and a shorter knife is easier to steer.

Choosing a Fillet Knife Length

Global sells this knife as an 11-inch; the blade measures 10.6 inches (27 cm). For trout, snapper and other small and medium fish, the Global Classic 8-inch Flexible Fillet Knife is more practical, and the Global Classic 8.25-inch Swedish Fillet Knife suits skinning and trimming. Pull pin bones from salmon with the Global Fish Bone Tweezers. The Knife Merchant guide to knife shapes covers fillet knives in more detail.

Tips for Best Results

Cut with a forward or backward slicing stroke. Chopping straight down onto the board dulls a thin edge faster.
Keep the edge away from bones, frozen food, hard nuts and hard cheese. If the blade catches on something hard, free it with a forward-and-back motion; twisting it sideways can chip or bend the edge.
Cut on wood or plastic. Glass, stone, marble and tile surfaces damage the edge.

Care

Wash by hand with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse, and dry with a towel right away. Global advises against the dishwasher, since the heat and strong detergents can damage the edge and the steel.
Do not soak the knife or clean it with bleach or chlorine cleansers.
Hone with a ceramic or diamond rod and sharpen on a whetstone at 10 to 15 degrees. Global recommends ceramic or diamond rods over conventional honing steels.
A household stainless steel cleaner removes rust spots left by inadequate drying.
