This 13-inch carbon steel fillet knife is hand-forged from layered 1095/15N20 steel into a slender, flexible blade built to follow the contour of fish and game closely, minimizing wasted meat compared to a stiffer kitchen or hunting knife.

Specifications

Steel: Carbon steel, 1095/15N20 layered
Overall length: 13 inches
Tang: Full tang
Handle: Dark wood with a bright red resin center inlay, 3 pins, lanyard-hole pommel
Includes: Tan leather sheath with floral stamping

The blade carries a hammered, brut-de-forge texture on the flats rather than an etched Damascus pattern, giving it a rugged working finish suited to field and kitchen filleting alike. The contoured wood-and-resin handle adds a finger guard and a curved pommel with a lanyard hole for secure handling with wet hands.

Carbon steel needs prompt care: hand wash and dry the blade immediately after use, then apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil before storage. Left wet, 1095/15N20 carbon steel will develop surface rust rather than the stable patina it forms when dried and oiled properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — this layered carbon steel pairing takes a very fine edge, which matters more for a fillet knife's thin, precise cuts than raw toughness. It does need prompt drying and oiling after use to avoid rust, unlike a stainless fillet blade.

Yes — it includes a form-fit tan leather sheath finished with floral stamping and stitching for safe carry and storage.
