A Cut Above the Rest

Dominating the everyday carry, folding pocket knife market, Kershaw creates high-quality, high-performance, exceptional, working tools and knives affordable to all consumers. Kershaw always chooses appropriate, top notch materials and is dedicated to intensive craftsmanship of hardworking pocketknives, hunting knives, or special collectors’ editions. Kershaw’s advanced technology and innovative design combine to create solid, crafted, reliable knives users are proud to carry.

Kershaw Fillet Knives

Kershaw offers users a series of fillet knives perfect for use in a marine, wet, fishing environment. In a variety of blade lengths, blade shapes and handle grips, the blades are made of softer steel enabling the blade to bend without breaking so it will move easily through the body of the fish providing an ideal fillet. The steel is highly corrosion resistant and the handle is durable for filleting comfort. The co-polymer handle material provides an excellent grip and a soft-yet-firm texture. Each fillet knife also comes with a sheath for secure storage or easy belt carry.

Fillet Knife Features


High-Performance Steel Highly stain and wear resistant, 420J stainless steel is excellent for use where 'flex' is desirable as in fish fillet knives. 420J is highly corrosion resistant, almost impossible to rust, very durable, and ideal for marine environments. Suited for knife blades with light to medium use, 420J is a general purpose, fine-blankable stainless steel with good manufacturability and resharpening capacity.	Attractive Blade Finish When a knife design requires a lighter blade to highlight the steel, Kershaw often applies a satin finish. Satin finishes, whether machine-generated or otherwise, leave faint patterns of lines on the steel, and while they sand away the steel’s brightness, they do not remove it as completely as do other finishes. A satin finish also helps reduce evidence of stains and scratches on the blade.	Durable Handle Very tough, able to take heavy-duty hard use, and versatile, glass-filled nylon handle material is a nylon synthetic polymer reinforced with glass threads for increased strength. Glass-filled nylon has incredible stiffness for a secure and stable grip, great ability to withstand heat, and dimensional stability combined with excellent wear resistance. Unique to certain Kershaw products, an exclusive and iconic texture is used on the handle to identify the brand and to provide additional traction when using the knife. The pattern is in a “K” shaped repeating pattern to provide an extremely secure and safer grip.
