Drum Fillet Knife | Handcrafted Knife
Model FK-06
For all you fishermen (and ladies) who are used to a straight fillet knife, this is a handcrafted fillet knife suitable for all coastal fish. Some have used this knife in a dual purpose role; cleaning and filleting fish in the summer and processing venison in the fall. The thin blade makes an excellent boning knife This is a 6 1/4 inch fillet knife with a 6 inch cutting edge, made from 440C stainless steel with a straight wood handle. The full tang handle is tapered from the butt to the blade for a comfortable non-slip grip. The wood has been sealed and waxed with a clear water proof finish. It is an 11 inch overall straight fillet knife with a strong semi-flexible 1/16 in. thick, 440C stainless steel blade tapered to 75 thousands of an inch. Currently I have knives with Brazilian Cherry and Black Walnut handles. Other woods are available on request. The knife comes with a premium 8-9 oz weight leather sheath.
PRODUCT INFO
Your knife will last a lifetime if properly cared for. Here are some guidelines for care and maintenance.
Always wipe and dry your knife after use.
Store your knife in a block or sheath for safety.
Wash with warm soapy water, rinse and dry.
Like all fine knives, do not put in a dishwasher.
Do not place your knife in an oven and avoid high heat. This can weaken the structure of the steel.
Do not strike the knife with another metal object.
Avoid dropping your knife on to hard surfaces such as sinks, concrete or tile floors.
Sharpen your knife with an oil or water stone and hone with a strop for razor sharpness.
The handle of your knife is made of a naturally dense and oily wood. It is very durable, but not indestructible. Do not subject the handle to excessive heat, direct flame, acidic or caustic solutions or long-term submersion in liquid. Once a year rub the handle with a light coat of paste wax to preserve the finish.
