Folding Fishing Knives

Benefits of Using a Good Folding Fillet Knife

Why should you invest in a good fillet knife? Simply put, a good fillet knife works better. A high-quality fillet knife can:

• Move between the bones and meat easily
• Allow you to clean freshly-caught fish
• Cause minimum meat loss as you remove bones
• Make filleting easier than ever

The right fillet knife can serve you for years, making it downright easy to fillet, skin, or de-bone fish of almost any size.

The Best Advice You Can Hear Regarding Choosing a Folding Fillet Knife

We often get questions about how to choose the best fillet knife, mostly from customers who are new to filleting fish and need help picking the right knife. If this sounds like you – or if you want some refresher tips on choosing your next fillet knife – here are some features to look for and things to consider. 

• What size? Fillet knives come in different sizes, meaning that they have blades of varying lengths. Smaller blades are suitable for perch, trout, and other small species. If you’re catching mostly larger fish, you’ll need a larger knife. 
• Handle type. Many people prefer a rubberised, soft-grip, or anti-slip knife grip to make it easier to handle even in slippery conditions. You may prefer a smaller or larger handle, or you may even prefer a handle of a certain aesthetic. There are lots to choose from, so you should be able to find exactly what you want. 
• Don’t forget the sharpener. You will want either a separate knife sharpener for your fillet knife or a fillet knife system that comes with a sharpener to keep your blade gleaming sharp with every use. 

In general, folding fillet knives come in smaller sizes than non-folding knives. Many people choose multiple knives to suit all their fishing needs, but if you want to purchase just one, choose the largest size that will work with the type of fish you catch most often.
