 You get what you pay for...Jul 20, 2010
By crankitup
Have you ever heard the expression "you can't afford to go cheap" This is a classic example. On one hand, there are many fillet knives available for less money, However, the quality of this knife, is well worth it. Quality steel makes a world of difference. No more sawing to get through the scales, the blade is sensitive enough to literally feel the rib cage as you fillet. It parts the meat from the bone like a light saber...this makes filleting a fish a much more enjoyable, quick process. Do it right, and you'll only do it once. Go cheap, you will end up buying several until you get this knife.

Long, thin, sharp, strongJun 07, 2009
By Maxwell Johnson

A fine knife for a specialized purpose. The blade may be a bit longer than some users want or need but for larger pieces of fish or meat I find it perfect. The thin blade makes it slide effortlessly under silverskin or through smoked salmon. The blade is quite sharp and easy to maintain. The handle is well made, the curve of the blade is efficient, and the balance is good.
I have to wonder why this knife is delivered with a sheath as it is hard for me to imagine anglers paying this much for a knife to knock around in the boat. Wusthof might be smarter to offer the sheath as an accessory.

 Nice but not as functional as othersJul 05, 2009
By James Krebs
"mind meld"
The quality of this knife is top-notch but it's functionality as a fishing knife is limited. It's been my experience that usually a bad fillet knife doesn't flex enough but in this case the tip of the blade actually flexes too much for bigger fish. It's great for smaller trout and I would imagine perch, bream...etc but I've used the knife to fillet flounder, speckled trout, redfish, snapper...etc and the blade just doesn't have a stable spine when it comes to skinning the bigger fish. A 6" Rapala or Dexter works much better and faster. Also, the knife is difficult to insert into the sheath. I think this is b/c the blade is so thin and curved that it hangs up as the knife is inserted. I have to twist the knife to get it fully inserted into the sheath.

 Another great Wusthof productJun 04, 2009
By Jo Ann Graham
"joanng417"
I recently added this knife to the other Wusthof Grand Prix 2 knives I own. It is not something that I use frequently but its long, sharp and flexible blade fills a specific need. It is of the same high quality as the other Wusthof knives I own. The only negative with this knife is that the leather sheath is very, very stiff (maybe it has to be to protect me and the knife!) and it is unclear where to put the knife back in the sheath. The addition of a belt loop at the top of the sheath seems a waste and makes storage more difficult for the home cook since I don't spend time walking around with a knife on my belt -- in fact I seldom wear a belt!
