Flex Where It Matters

The Wusthof Classic Flexible Fish Fillet Knife 16cm is the blade for smaller fish - trout, bream, snapper, flathead - where a longer blade would be unwieldy and imprecise. 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. It handles filleting, skinning, and the fine work of removing pin bones with equal confidence. PEtec sharpening grinds the edge to a precise 14° on each side - finer and longer-lasting 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

• Hand wash recommended - dishwasher safe but not recommended for longevity
• 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
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
