K Sabatier Authentique Flexible Fillet Knife 200mm - High Carbon Steel - Made in France

Experience the Longer Fillet Knife Built for Larger FishThe K Sabatier Authentique Flexible Fillet Knife 200mm is forged in Thiers, France from high carbon steel - a longer, flexible blade purpose-built for filleting larger fish, removing skin in a single pass, and navigating the full length of a spine with precision and minimal waste.The Specs Steel: High carbon steel, forged in a single mass - 54-56 HRC Blade length: 200mm (8 in.), flexible blade Handle: Black POM, hand-set on the tang with three brass rivets Construction: 100% forged - tempered, ground, and polished crosswise Origin: Handcrafted in Thiers, France Flex Where It MattersThe flexible blade bends to follow the contour of the spine and ribs, keeping the edge in constant contact with the bone for maximum yield and minimum waste. At 200mm, this is the blade for larger fish - salmon, barramundi, kingfish - where the extra length lets you cover the full fillet in fewer strokes and remove the skin cleanly in a single pass. High carbon steel holds a finer, longer-lasting edge than stainless, keeping every cut clean and controlled through an entire filleting session. The black POM handle is hand-set on the full tang with three brass rivets for a secure grip through wet, slippery conditions.Care & Maintenance Hand wash only - never dishwasher Wipe dry immediately after use - high carbon steel will rust if left wet Rinse immediately after contact with fish and salt Apply a light coat of food-safe oil occasionally to protect the blade Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed A natural patina will develop with use - this is normal and protects the steel Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
