Zwilling Pro 7-inch Fillet Knife

Filleting a fish means running a thin, flexible blade along the backbone and then under the skin, and the Zwilling Pro 7-inch fillet knife is made for both cuts. Its length reaches across a trout, bass or snapper in long strokes, and the blade flexes to stay tight against the ribs.

It also trims and portions meat and poultry where a thinner, more flexible blade helps. The Pro curved bolster supports a secure pinch grip, which matters when the work is slippery.

To skin a fillet, start at the tail, angle the edge slightly down toward the skin and push the knife forward while pulling the skin back. The flex keeps the edge flat against the skin, which leaves the flesh whole.

For trimming meat and boning poultry, the Pro 5.5-inch flexible boning knife is shorter and more maneuverable. Our guide to knife shapes compares fillet and boning knives.

Choosing a Zwilling Line

All three lines are forged in Germany from the same special formula steel and ice-hardened by Zwilling’s FRIODUR process.

Line	Bolster and edge	Handle	Who it suits
Zwilling Pro	Curved half bolster; sharpenable from heel to tip	Triple-riveted black polymer	Cooks who use a pinch grip and want the full edge available for cutting and sharpening
Zwilling Four Star	Pronounced bolster that guards the fingers	Molded polypropylene with no rivets or gaps	Kitchens that value a hygienic, gap-free handle and a traditional finger guard
Zwilling Spectrum	Curved bolster; 12.5-degree edge per side	Jute Micarta with a steel end cap	Cooks who want the most acute factory edge of the three lines

Keeping the Edge

German stainless at this hardness responds well to honing. A few light strokes on a honing steel before each use keep the edge aligned; sharpen on whetstones or a guided sharpener when honing no longer restores it.

Care

Zwilling rates the knife dishwasher safe but recommends hand washing; wash with warm, soapy water and dry at once.
Cut on wood or soft composite boards rather than glass, stone or ceramic.
Store in a block, on a magnetic strip or in an edge guard, not loose in a drawer.
