MAC Original 6.75-inch Fillet Knife

MAC Original 6.75-inch Fillet Knife

The FK-70 is a thin, flexible fillet knife in the MAC Original Series, made for better control when filleting fish. The flex lets the blade bend along the backbone and over the rib cage, so more of the fillet comes away from the frame.

It has the rounded tip and the hanging hole of the Original Series. It is extremely sharp out of the box and has a very comfortable handle. Beyond fish, the thin blade slices sushi rolls, ham, bread and even cakes neatly. The knife is also part of the Original 3-piece set.

If you would rather not have the hole in the blade, the FK-70N is the same knife without it. For a longer fillet knife, see the SF-85. Our guide to kitchen knife shapes covers fillet knives.

Keeping the Edge

MAC steel is harder than most German and American kitchen knife steel, so the edge is maintained with ceramic rather than a steel rod. As a rule of thumb, we use ceramic on steels greater than 60 Rockwell hardness. The MAC black ceramic honing rod and the white ceramic rod touch up the edge between sharpenings, and the MAC Togu sharpener resets the factory angle on a ceramic wheel.

Care

Wash by hand with warm, soapy water and dry the knife at once. Do not put it in a dishwasher.
MAC steel is stainless but not immune to spotting; do not leave the blade wet, soaking or in contact with acidic food.
Cut on wood or plastic boards. Keep the edge away from bone, frozen food and hard shells.
Warranty claims are handled by MAC directly.
