Experience the Specialist Blade Built for Filleting Fish with Precision
The Wüsthof Classic Flexible Fish Fillet Knife 20cm is forged in Solingen, Germany from X50CrMoV15 steel - a long, flexible blade purpose-built for filleting fish, removing skin in a single pass, and navigating the full length of a spine with the precision and control that a rigid blade simply can't deliver.
The Specs
Steel: X50CrMoV15 high-alloy steel, forged from a single piece - 58 HRC
Edge: PEtec (Precision Edge Technology) - double-ground to 14° each side
The 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 20cm, this blade covers the full length of larger fish - salmon, barramundi, kingfish - letting you fillet and skin in fewer strokes. PEtec sharpening grinds the edge to a precise 14° on each side for a finer, longer-lasting edge than conventionally sharpened knives. The full-tang, triple-riveted synthetic handle provides a secure grip through wet, slippery conditions. Forged from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 steel in Solingen, Germany.
Care & Maintenance

Dry immediately after washing
Rinse immediately after contact with fish and salt
Hone regularly with a honing steel to maintain the 14° edge
Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed
