12-Inch Damascus Steel Fillet Knife Set of 2 with Resin Handles & Leather Sheaths

Forged Damascus Steel Fillet Knife Set of 2 with Resin Handles and Leather Sheaths

The JW Steel Crafts Damascus fillet knife set gives you two purpose-built knives for fish cleaning and filleting. Each knife has an 8.5-inch flexible blade and a 4.5-inch resin handle. Total length is 12 inches per knife. The set covers everything from small panfish to large saltwater catches.

This set works alongside tools like the custom handmade fillet knife, the Damascus chef knife with USA flag handle, and the hand forged Damascus cleaver knife for full preparation coverage.

Blade Functionality

Forged from layered Damascus steel, both blades offer flexible performance that cleanly follows a fish's bone structure while minimising waste and allowing fillets to remain intact when cutting.
Edge retention is equal on multiple cuts so as to preserve edge performance over the course of a prolonged fishing trip or during bulk fish processing.

Blade Handle Construction

The white resin and black resin are used for each knife's handle. Each handle is 4 1/2" long; they have been designed to provide a solid grip for handling wet knives. Unlike a natural wooden product, resin does not deform, split or draw moisture while being handled outdoors or beside bodies of water.

Both resin handles are an intelligent choice for applications that require long-term exposure to wet conditions. Full tang construction on both resin handles provides additional strength and assists in providing overall balance.

Knife Build and Finish

Both knives are hand forged and hand finished at JW Steel Crafts using layered Damascus steel for both blades. As a result, each knife blade has its own unique pattern and exceptional cutting integrity.

Both knives are designed to complement the Damascus steel collection of kitchen cutlery and the hand forged Gyuto chef's knife to support the needs of food prep.

Best Used For
