Notice: The knife is no longer available, consider the Wusthof Classic 7-inch Fillet knife<\/a> instead.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Filleting a fish without a proper fillet knife can be a daunting task. Spare yourself of the troubles and get a new fillet knife to get the job done easier and faster. Today, we will examine the Wusthof Gourmet 7-inch fish fillet knife<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Wusthof is a world-famous knife making company located in Solingen, Germany, and founded in 1814. Their product lines of kitchen knives<\/a> enjoy favorable customer reviews and they are not that expensive for the quality they usually deliver. Is the Wusthof fillet knife as good as its brothers? We will see.<\/p>\n

Even though the knife is made in Germany, it was designed by professional fishermen<\/strong> in the United States. The knife is made of high carbon German steel X50CrMoV15 which provides amazing sharpness and durability to the 7-inch blade. The knife is not forged, instead, it is laser cut. Some may consider it to be a con, but it is not always true. Wusthof has been employing laser cutting technology for many of its knife models, and they are great.<\/p>\n

The knife is slightly lighte<\/strong>r than traditional knives, which makes it easier to handle, and doesn\u2019t strain the hand as much as other heavier knives.<\/p>\n

With a thin, long, and flexible blade, filleting a fish becomes an easy task to accomplish. The edge is not serrated, therefore it\u2019s easier to sharpen it. With a length of 7 inches, it is designed to be used for medium-sized fish. If you need to fillet a large fish, you should consider getting a fillet knife with a longer blade.<\/p>\n

The handle is made of black riveted plastic. It looks pleasing to the eye from far, however, upon closer inspection, it looks a bit cheap.<\/p>\n

The knife comes with a black leather sheath, that is designed to protect the blade while the knife is not being used.<\/p>\n
