Opinel Parallele 7" Fillet Knife features a slim, flexible stainless blade made to remove fish scales, slice cooked meat thinly, and portion foie gras and country potatoes. At $25.00 – 50% off the $50 compare-at price – it's the affordable fillet knife deal to buy online at Cutter's Bench.
Is the Parallele Flexible Enough for Fish?
Yes – the 7-inch blade is deliberately slim and flexible, bending along the backbone for clean fillets and precise skin work on fresh fish.
Beyond Fish: Meat and Vegetables
The same flexible edge excels at thin slicing of cooked roasts, foie gras, and country potatoes – one knife, many kitchen jobs.
How to Keep It Sharp
Hone regularly with a sharpening steel and sharpen on a whetstone at a low angle to preserve the thin, flexible edge. Hand wash and dry – the PEFC-certified wood handle is not dishwasher safe.
Comparison: Parallele vs Les Forges 1890 Fillet Knife
The Parallele offers a lighter half-tang build with PEFC wood handle at a much lower price, ideal for home cooks and anglers. The Les Forges 1890 line is a heavier, full-forged professional alternative. For value at $25, the Parallele is the clear deal pick.
