A narrow, flexible blade is what separates a fillet knife from everything else in the kitchen. This 20 cm knife moves easily along a backbone and under skin, following the contours of fish naturally. The same flexibility makes boning and trimming meat more straightforward, as the 1.8 mm blade slips through fibrous tissue with little resistance. The tsuchime hammered finish further reduces drag, helping food release cleanly from the blade.
The black pakkawood handle is joined to a hidden full tang for a stable, confident grip through longer tasks. A bamboo saya protects the blade between uses, and the knife arrives in a bamboo box.
