## Description

A must have for any butcher or fish monger, Dalstrong Gladiator Series Fillet Knife is expertly handcrafted to handle both the small and large every-day demands of the professional kitchen with precision and efficiency. The Gladiator Series Knife makes deboning, filleting, skinning, trimming & butterflying everything from fish to poultry, pork and more with ease. The blade length limits wrist and hand fatigue by acting as an extension of the arm, performing long, single slices, on even the largest cuts of meat, effortlessly. The narrow blade shape and slightly flexible design allow you to glide smoothly along the contours of bones, effortlessly separating meat without tearing, while the tapered tip maneuvers around smaller bones & cartilage.

Review: Great Feel and Function - Wanted to start filleting for the craft, the fun, getting closer to my food, and the cost savings. Opted to not get a starter knife which might quickly add to the clutter, but instead bought what could be the only fillet knife I’ll ever need. Wife texted there were whole fish at the local membership warehouse store, rock fish, black cod and bronzino, I said grab the rock fish for blackened rock fish tonight and the cod for fish and chips another time. Full commitment. Man! This tool went to work, it has a good feel as you feel for the spine to ride along, the point is seriously dangerous in a good way to make your entrance, and, the knife is not the problem. In my filleting “career” I had tried only twice before. I used to fish so many different methods for salt and fresh, and after over 60 years I’m only getting started in this new growth area. Better late than never and there is so much to look forward to! The weight, balance, handle stability, and relative stiffness/flexibilty/feel of the blade are excellent. At first I thought it was too stiff, but then I started filleting and the knife came to life. Though I have a lot to learn, I have no regrets about this new tool. I read about knives: reviews, metal composition, knife edges, handle construction, sharpening, care and maintenance for hours over days before I bought this. I was concerned I would not live up to this knife for some time. That evening, I broke down 3 rock fish and 4 cod, with little waste, thanks in large part to the design of this knife. And the blackened rock fish were off the chart good.
Review: My favorite kitchen knife - I’ve filleted a LOT of fish starting as a kid when we fished for perch, walleye, muskie and pike in Ontario, Canada in the 1970’s. Back then, Rapala made the go to fish knife. I’ve owned this Dalstrong knife since July of 2018 and it's my "go knife" for fish and filleting thin chicken breasts. I like this Dalstrong fillet knife because it's easy to handle, flexible, nimble and easy to sharpen. I have not experienced any tip or blade issues. I use this knife 3-4 times a week. For being China made, the quality is good. I sharpen the knife with a Tsushima Japanese natural water, a ceramic rod, F Dick Dickoron steel and a leather strop. I saw one review where the user broke a tip off the knife. I have no idea how you do that other than badly mishandling or abusing the knife. Even if you do break a tip, it’s easy to fix or get fixed if you’re that sort of person. The knife was decently sharp out of the box but it was sharper after I tuned it up and it sharpens quickly on the Tsushima stone but it does not hold an edge as long as a Shun or Glestain. Hope that helps!

## Features

- FOR FRESHWATER FISH, PANFISH, AND SMALLER CATCH WHERE CONTROL BEATS REACH: The 6" flexible German steel blade gives you the tip precision to navigate the rib cage on bass, crappie, perch, and walleye without tearing the fillet. Short enough to control in a single hand on a small fish; sharp enough to release the fillet cleanly from the skin in one pulling stroke. The fillet knife sized for the catch, not the other way around.
- FOR IN-CLOSE BONING AND TIGHT PROTEIN TRIMMING: Boning a chicken thigh, removing silverskin from a pork tenderloin, trimming fat from a small rack of ribs — the 6" flexible format gives you the in-close control that a 7" blade doesn't offer on smaller proteins. The blade bends into joint pockets and membrane layers; the German steel holds the edge through a full prep session.
- FORGED GERMAN HC STEEL — THE WORKHORSE FILLET CHOICE: High-carbon German steel at 56+ HRC is tough, sharpenable, and resists the lateral flex stress that fillet work puts on a blade repeatedly. It takes a working edge, holds it through a session, and sharpens back quickly on the Dalstrong Whetstone Set (B07KKQHKMV). The practical choice for anglers who fillet their own catch regularly.
- FOR THE ANGLER WHO WANTS DALSTRONG QUALITY WITHOUT THE JAPANESE STEEL PREMIUM: The Gladiator 6" delivers the same Dalstrong build discipline — forged construction, full tang, G10 handle — in German HC steel at a price point that makes sense for a fillet knife that sees water, salt, and cutting boards regularly. When it dulls, sharpen it. When it gets scratched, use it anyway.
- CUSTOMER SUPPORT, PERFECTFIT SHEATH, GIFT-READY PACKAGING: The fillet knife gift for anglers and home butchers. Ships with a PerfectFit sheath in Dalstrong packaging, backed by the customer support. Pair with the Gladiator 7" fillet knife (B06XV3H7XL) for larger ocean fish and whole-salmon work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fresh Fish For Dinner Made Easy
*by J***5 on May 28, 2017*

If you love to buy, prepare and dine on fresh seafood, a filet knife should be a staple in your kitchen. This is a totally different knife than the boning knife often found as a part of some knife sets. While many people confuse a boning knife with a filet knife, the two are very different. A boning knife is designed for precision boning, especially in deep cuts and holes making it more useful for meats such as beef or pork. A fillet knife, however, is designed specifically to help to remove the bones and skin from fish. While a normal knife can do the job, it is simply not as effective or safe. Typical fillet knives are curved, thin, flexible and have a sharp point to allow you to puncture the skin and maneuver inside of the fish with ease. Unlike a thicker straight blade boning knife, they easily fit between the skin and top layer of meat. Since a fish has skin and meat that is very tender, a stiff knife like a boning knife, will not do the job of removing the bones as well as the thinner and more flexible filet knife. This filet knife from Dalstrong was everything a premium and professional filet knife should be and more. While you don’t have to be a professional chef to use and appreciate the benefits of this knife, it is made to be useful in a professional kitchen. It certainly does have a flexible knife blade that is hand polished to a mirror finish. It has perfect balance and it will make ultra thin, clean slices to your fish. It is a breeze to clean, just running it under soapy water and towel drying. You can use the enclosed polishing cloth in between uses to always keep that mirror finish. It comes with a hard BPA free protective sheath, but for the professional, it also comes with a PLU leather outdoor sheath with belt loop to keep the knife close at hand. I own a quite a few Dalstrong knives specifically because I believe their quality and performance is worth ever penny spent on them. I would say that this filet knife did not fall short of my high expectations of this company in any way.
