Fillet knives are designed to be thin and flexible, providing excellent control and precision, and the Dexter Russell Basics® 7″ Narrow Fillet Knife (31608 / P94812) is built to perform exactly that task. The long, narrow blade is ideal for working between fish skin and meat, allowing for clean, accurate cuts with minimal waste.

Crafted from 400 Series stain‑free, high‑carbon steel, the blade delivers superior edge retention and can be easily resharpened when needed, returning to its original sharpness.
Part of the Dexter Basics® product line, this knife offers dependable performance and value for both commercial and home kitchens. The slip‑resistant polypropylene handle provides a secure grip and features a formed finger guard for added safety.
