Dexter-Russell Traditional 5-inch Fish Knife, Carbon Steel (4215)
Dexter-Russell has sold this pattern for generations, and its Dexter Outdoors line still calls it the Green River Traditional 5-inch fish knife. It is a short, stout working knife for the boat and the dock. It cuts bait and line, bleeds a catch, guts panfish and trout, and cleans small fish at the end of the day.The 5-inch blade is carbon steel, which Dexter describes as its classic high-carbon blade, individually ground and honed. Carbon steel takes a keen edge and sharpens quickly on a pocket stone, the reason many anglers still prefer it to stainless. It will rust if left wet with salt water and develops a dark patina with use. The model 4215 is a common search on our site, and these Traditional knives are especially popular with fishermen in the Northeast.
Fish Knife or Fillet Knife?For filleting larger fish, choose a longer, flexible blade such as the Sani-Safe 7-inch Narrow Flexible Fillet Knife. Learn More$24.25 -
Dexter-Russell Traditional 6-inch Produce Knife, Carbon Steel (166)
Dexter-Russell’s Traditional 6-inch produce knife is the most visited produce knife among the Dexter pages on our site. It is a long, slim knife with a blunt end, and Dexter calls it ideal for slicing and dicing foods like onions and tomatoes. The rounded end keeps a sharp point away from the hand during fast cutting, which suits a market stand or a home cook working through a garden harvest.The blade is the old-fashioned kind that takes a very fine edge and darkens with use. Dry it after washing and give it a few strokes on a honing steel, and it will stay sharp through a season of canning tomatoes and putting up peppers. Dexter has made knives in Southbridge, Massachusetts, since 1818, and its Traditional patterns are especially popular in the Northeast.

Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 12-inch Fish Splitter (S112-12H)
A fish splitter is a heavy, stiff knife for the jobs a fillet knife should never do. Dexter-Russell’s Sani-Safe 12-inch splitter is built to take heads off large fish, cut bait, make chum and break down big fish before they are filleted. The H in the model number marks its heavier blade, which gives the backbone to drive through bone and cartilage.On a large tuna or halibut, the splitter roughs out the work at the cleaning table, and a flexible fillet knife takes over for the meat. It is also a capable bait knife on a party boat, where a long, sturdy blade makes short work of a pile of bunker or mackerel. Dexter honed and ground the blade at its Southbridge, Massachusetts plant.
