Dexter-Russell, 8" Wide Fillet Knife, 1378

The Dexter 1378, 8" Traditional™ fillet/boning knife has been a favorite for commercial and charter boat fishermen for decades. This beech handle knife features a high carbon steel blade that holds an edge and is easy to re-sharpen. These knives have a stiff blade with little or no flex. Care: Because these have a wood handle and high carbon steel, they should be hand washed and dried. The blade will get a black patina with use. Avoid rust by adding a coat of vegetable oil. Ask the old timers, they swear by them. Made in the U.S.A.
