Love the new knife, had some Rockfish to do and the local fish guy cries like a baby if you ask him to remove the skin. Watched Jacques do a Flounder / Sole on video and went for it. The knife has just the right flex for me and was plenty sharp from the factory. The handle and weight works in my hand perfectly as well. Jacques would be proud, great knife so far.
My husband is an avid fisherman, and we have been through our share of fillet knives. The Pro 7 inch Fillet knife is in a class of its own. The special formula steel is so durable that it can withstand the flexibility needed to skin trout, blue fish and get through and around all the soft bones. Really like the one piece construction and the full tang which makes it so durable. Looking forward to many years of use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Professional S knives for over 20 years, and was initially skeptical of the different bolster shape on the Pro series. But when the 7” Pro filleting knife arrived, I was struck by how the thinned-our bolster offsets the thin, flexible filet blade, and how useful it is for fingertip control. One nice feature, and also a point of caution: the full length of the blade is sharpened, and is quite thin where it meets the finger choil, so take care not to choke up *too* much. (See photo.)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is indispensable for tasks that require precision such as filleting salmon and slicing citrus for intricate presentations. The knife has a longer length and great flexibility without being unwieldy. It has same quality and durability as the rest of my Zwilling Pro line knives. Recommend without reservation.
