All 23 on the boning, fillet & trimming shelf

Filleting is a long single stroke rather than a series of cuts, and that is what the shape on this page is for. The blade is narrower and thinner than a boning knife, so it will flex along a rib cage instead of cutting through it, and the seven-inch versions are long enough to run the whole length of a side of salmon without sawing. Sawing is what tears a fillet. One pass is what keeps it whole.

Lengths here are five, five and a half, six and seven inches, and the choice is the fish you actually buy. Five and a half handles a trout or a mackerel. Seven is for salmon and for taking skin off a whole side. Nine of the eleven sit on the boning shelf, and most ship with a sheath. Handle colours run to orange, brown, silver and black, and the orange grips are the ones you can find on a wet board.

03Asked before ordering

Huusk Fillet Knives: questions

What people ask us about fillet knives before they pick one.

How will a Huusk fillet knife differ from the boning knife you own?

Flex and length. A fillet blade is thinner and bends along a rib cage. A boning blade is stiffer and holds its line against a joint. A fillet knife is also longer, so a side of fish comes off in one stroke instead of three.

What size Huusk fillet knife do you need for fish?

Five to five and a half inches for trout and mackerel. Seven inches for salmon and anything you buy as a whole side. A blade shorter than the fish means sawing, and sawing is what tears the fillet.

Can you use a Huusk fillet knife for meat?

For trimming, yes: silverskin and fat come off well with a thin flexible blade. For anything that meets bone, no. It will flex where you want it to hold and the tip is the first thing to go.
