How to Fillet Fish with the Wüsthof Fillet Knife
The 7" blade's thin flexible profile lets it move smoothly along the fish's backbone and lift skin in one pass. Start behind the gills, cut down to the backbone, then run the blade flat along the spine toward the tail with long, light strokes. Flip and repeat. To skin, anchor the tail end and slide the flexible blade between skin and flesh at a shallow angle, drawing the fillet back.
Technique Tips
- Use long strokes along the backbone — let the blade's flex do the work
- Keep a shallow angle when skinning to avoid tearing flesh
- The pointed tip removes pin bones cleanly
How to Care for the Leather Sheath
Always dry the blade completely before sheathing — trapped moisture causes corrosion and can damage the leather. Wipe the sheath interior occasionally, condition the leather lightly, and store in a dry place. Hand wash the knife only and dry immediately.
