Haller Fillet Knife with Flexible Blade – 420 Stainless
Flexibility and Precision in Every Cut
The main advantage of this knife is its extremely flexible blade. It is made of AISI 420 stainless steel. This material is an ideal choice for fillet knives as it excels in high corrosion resistance—a feature you will especially appreciate when working in humid environments or when in contact with fish blood. The blade bends under pressure to follow the fish's spine, minimizing meat waste. Additionally, 420 steel is very easy to sharpen, so you can restore the edge with just a few strokes of a sharpening steel, even in the field.
The handle consists of reddish-brown laminated wood scales (often referred to as Pakkawood), secured to the tang with rivets. The ergonomic shape and metal bolster at the front protect your fingers from slipping onto the blade, which is a crucial safety feature when working with slippery fish. The knife comes with a practical black nylon sheath that you can easily attach to your belt thanks to the loop.

A Bit of History and Theory
Fillet knives evolved as a specialized category with the rise of modern gastronomy. In earlier times, universal kitchen or hunting knives were used for butchering. Only the need to maximize the yield from expensive ingredients and the aesthetic requirements for serving led to the creation of thin, flexible blades. The ability of the blade to bend significantly without breaking and return to its original shape is a sign of good heat treatment.
Care Instructions
Although the knife is made of stainless steel, it requires proper maintenance. After each use, especially after contact with aggressive meat juices or saltwater, rinse the knife immediately with lukewarm water and dry it thoroughly. Never wash the knife in a dishwasher! Chemical detergents and high temperatures would ruin the wooden handle and dull the edge. It is advisable to treat the wooden handle occasionally with vegetable oil or beeswax.
Safety Warning
The knife has a very thin tip and is designed for slicing cuts. Never use it for prying, opening cans, or chopping bones—there is a risk of irreversible damage to the blade or breaking the tip.
To maintain perfect sharpness, we recommend using a quality sharpening steel or a fine whetstone.
