Is the Opinel Professional 7-Inch Fillet Knife Good for Filleting Fish?
Yes – it's purpose-built for it. The full tang blade provides exceptional balance while offering exactly the right amount of flex to separate meat from skin in smooth, clean strokes, making quick work of everything from panfish to salmon.
How Flexible Is the Les Forgés 1890 Fillet Knife?
It strikes a professional balance: enough flex to glide along bones and skin, enough stiffness for controlled cuts on larger fish – ideal for anglers who want one fillet knife for all species.
How Do You Sharpen the Opinel Professional Fillet Knife?
The X50CrMoV15 blade sharpens easily on a whetstone or honing rod. Bevel angle is 15° per side with Rockwell hardness of 57–59 HRC – hard enough to hold its edge, soft enough for fast touch-ups.
Forged Fillet Knife vs. Parallele Fillet Knife
Les Forgés 1890 is fully hot-forged with a full tang for superior balance, strength, and heirloom durability; the Parallele line is a lighter stamped alternative at a lower price. For serious anglers and frequent use, the forged knife is worth it – especially at this 57% discount.
