Whether you’re looking for a way to fillet fish in your kitchen or you want to clean them out on your boat, having the best fillet knife certainly makes the job a little easier. There are a lot of different fillet knives available, which is why we put together this fillet knife buying guide. We researched a range of knives to help you find the right one for you. Before we get started, let’s look at some key features.
Type: There are 2 main types of fillet knives. One is a manual knife and the other is electric. Each has their pros and cons but they’re all really effective. We also found a really awesome folding knife you have to check out.
Length: We figured you’d want to know the blade length so that’s what we included here. There’s a bit of variety here. The blades range from 6 to 8 inches which are all good lengths for a fillet knife, of course.
Flexible Blade: Flexible blades give you a little more freedom and maneuverability. This can come in really handy with thin pieces of fish or if you have to work around a lot of bones.
Handle Material: Handle materials vary quite a bit. Some of made of rubber or plastic that has a textured grip. Others have beautiful polishes wooden handles that might not have the grip but look absolutely amazing.
No-Slip Handle: As we mentioned, some of these knives have a textured handle which creates a no-slip grip. This comes in particularly handy when you’re working around water. It’s not necessary, but it definitely comes in handy.
Warranty: Most of the manual knives come with lifetime warranties. When it comes to the electric knives, though, they usually come with a 1 or 2 year warranty. Which makes sense because they have moving parts.
