Questions about KastKing Fillet Knife, Razor Sharp G4116 German Stainless-Steel Blade 5" - 9", Professional Level Knives for Filleting and Boning, Non-Slip Handles, Includes Protective Sheath.
Q:
I am looking at a manual sharpener what would you recommend?
Answer: Get yourself a Worksharp knife sharpener, either the orig one for $60, or the updated Ken Onion edition ($120), both are FANTASTIC. I’m TERRIBLE at sharpening anything, but this thing (I got the Ken Onion edition) has made it easy, quick and best of all, a “good knife sharpener” out of me! I don’t sell them, have no affiliation... I just like a good product when I get one, which is rare these days. Good luck.
Answer: I recommend going to your local harbor freight or ordering online and getting a 1x30 inch belt sander and getting some 600 grit bolts and a leather polishing belt for the sander too and you will have razor sharp knives all the time. Dont waste money on a work sharp. You can get the harbor freight set up and the belts for about the same price if not cheaper
Answer: Hi there,
Answer: Get a Norton crystolon or India stone and learn to free hand. You can get either for probably twenty online or in a hardware store.
Answer: This is a knife. If you need a sharpener I recommend asking the question on a sharpener listing. Good luck.
Answer: I use a 2000 grit stone. Great knife for the money.
Q:
How well does this hold a edge? Also after a couple sharpening does it still hold a edge like if it was new?
Answer: For those too young to remember great grandpa shaving with a straight razor, let me give you a quick education. RAZOR sharp knife means it will not hold an edge. The sharper the edge, the quicker it will dull. That's why great grandpa had a razor strop that he honed his beard cutting steel with every time he used it. A fine razor edge on a fillet knife is important, as is the knowledge that you must hone (not sharpen) the edge regularly to maintain it.
Answer: Gets real sharp when sharpened but Won't hold an edge for long. Even the guy at the knife sharpening store said it was a very soft blade. Not recommended for everyday use.
Answer: It does not....
Answer: Not for long.
Q:
What would be the best sharpening tool for this knife?
Answer: This is a large can of worms on this ask; I ask 10 folks, will get 10 answers. Since I was little, was taught to use an Arkansas stone, it's my comfort zone and haven't met a blade I couldn't hone yet. I've tried other methods, but for me, the stone is far superior. Technique and angle are critical no matter what your chosen poison for sharpening, practice, practice, practice.
Q:
Can a lefty use this knife or is the blade made for right handers?
Answer: I am also a lefty. It works well. Really solid knife for larger fish.
Q:
What is this knife's Rockwell Hardness? (please answer only if you know)
Q:
How does this knife do cutting through bones?
Answer: I wouldn't use it to cut through bones. That would ruin your knife. This is meant to cut meat away from the bone.
Answer: not sure any knife will cut bone
Answer: Went through rib & y bones in a salmon very easily.
Answer: It will cut through, but dull the blade after a few fish. It’s easy to sharpen after
Q:
Do the knives come sharpened out of the box? I see a number of complaints about dull blades.
Answer: I've always used the rapala's. I read the same as you but I still ordered. The knife has a nice non slip handle and mine came very sharp! Also in the box if you fill out a questionnaire you receive another knife or sharpener free of charge. Great deal now I have two!
Answer: It comes factory sharpened which is certainly adequate, but you’ll need to run it over with a sharpening steel to get a razors edge.
Answer: Hi Stewart,
Q:
Do these knives contain lead?
Answer: Hi Will,
Answer: Hi, it says it's made of stainless steel. however, when googling if stainless steel contains led it gives a varying of answers. Many of my Culinary friends use this product and we haven't head anything negatively from the teachers! I hope this helps..
Answer: The blade is lead impregnated. Cal Prop 65 approved! It holds a hella sharp edge.
Answer: No I don't believe they do. But what I will tell you is their built very well. Really sharp top. the only set back for me is .. Personally I like knife sheath that hang from the belt. And this one is designed for your belt to go þrough the body of the sheath. If you know what I mean. But ovèall I like it very much, and I feel like it's perfect for fishing, which is why I chose it. Made very well and definitely worth the price tag. thx
Q:
Is it dishwasher safe? Knife and sheath?
Q:
Does this knife really come sharpened?
Answer: It comes sharpened, but I touched it up before filleting fish. I like them sharp enough to shave and they are not quite that sharp. I cleaned a mess of catfish yesterday and they worked really well. I have 3 of these knives. The strong and the fillet in 9" and have the bait knife
Answer: My carving knife was “sharpened” but I’ve seen plenty of other sharper knives.
Answer: Hi Drew,
Q:
Would the 12’ slicing knife be good for carving a turkey?
Answer: Hi there,
Answer: I’ve only cut my brisket with it so far but plan to use it on my turkey this Thanksgiving. It does a great job on beef.
Answer: I believe so. It’s worked great for me on briskets, ribs, steak, chops and chicken.
Answer: Yea it would.
Answer: Absolutely !
Q:
How do you sharpen this knife?
Answer: with any standard knife sharpener. Amazon has plenty of options
Answer: Not sure. I usually take my knives to a professional knife sharpening service.
Q:
how well will the knife do against salt water? Will it rust, or corrode easy? I am an saltwater angler. Also how long is the whole knife
Answer: The knife appears to be quality made. It is described as "German Stainless Steel" so I would say with reasonable care it should hold up. No knife or any metal object for that matter will resist rust in salt water conditions without proper care.
Answer: It will rust like most steel in saltwater. This will be best avoided by rinsing off with fresh water and hit it with a little WD40 after every trip.
Answer: This knife is junk - period.
Q:
I'm confused on the differing reviews on this knife's ability to maintain its sharp edge. Does it stay sharp or not?
Answer: As with just about any knife you get, you’ll have to sharpen it after processing a few fish, especially if you are cutting through scales and/or bones. But you only need a few swipes across a sharpener, and it’s good to go! I found that it remained sharp through processing about 7-8 Alaskan Salmon (cutting scales and bones), before I needed to tune up the edge with a sharpener. Hope this helps!
Answer: It keeps its edge pretty good compared to other filet knives I’ve owned. It’s a good knife, but eventually it does need to be sharpened.
Q:
Does the sheath have a belt loop?
Answer: No it doesn’t
Answer: No it does not
Answer: No it does not
Q:
Is it full tang?
Answer: Hard to tell with soft handle, but it seems like metal runs through it
Q:
Could i debone a chicken with it?
Answer: You can debone anything with this awesome knife. I’ve only had it a bit but I’ve used it on deer and hogs and even fish
Answer: Not really it’s great to fillet a fish but too wide to debone a chicken...
Answer: While we advertise these knives for outdoors, we have had many people use them in the kitchen. They are great universal knives.
Q:
Does the size include the handle or the size of the blade?
Answer: Blade size.
Q:
Would the 12 inch slicing knife work well to cut through brisket and slice up ribs?
Answer: Yes it would work great for that
Q:
Can this knife cut hard organs?
Answer: Not sure what you mean by hard organs, but the knife does cut through, skin, muscle, tendons and other tissue very easily.
Q:
Would the 12’ slicing knife be good for carving a turkey?
Answer: Hi there,
Answer: I’ve only cut my brisket with it so far but plan to use it on my turkey this Thanksgiving. It does a great job on beef.
Answer: I believe so. It’s worked great for me on briskets, ribs, steak, chops and chicken.
Answer: Yea it would.
Answer: Absolutely !

Q:
Is this made in garbage China?
Answer: Probably lol it’s a nice knife though, feels good in your hand awesome on 27inch drum and smaller fish
Answer: Probably half of what you think is made in America that you consider quality is made in China by American manufacturers that outsource parts. China has pretty good technology because they stole it from everyone else. Might as well take advantage of our own tech from time to time. If you find something comparable made here or in Europe, go for it.
Answer: I dont know if it is .. but I will tell you I dont think there is any way you could find a better knife for the price. We use it now on a regular basis on our boat in saltwater and had NO issues with it .. and its super sharp out of the box ... I think the key to most knives is to have them properly sharpened .. most people dont know how to and ruin the edge and then blame the knife ... I am buying a couple more as gifts .
Q:
Are these knifes Dishwasher safe?
Answer: Hi there,
Answer: Yes, but you shouldn’t run knives through the dishwasher. The heat softens the blade over time.
Answer: I'm not sure but I suspect they are since I've washed them (I have several) in hot, soapy water after letting them soak with no problem.
Q:
Does anyone have the offer code for the free item? Mine was thrown out when my wife was cleaning up. Thank you!
Answer: Nooe
Q:
Should I get the finesse version of the blade if for filleting fish usually 5 pounds or less? Finesse, regular, strong.
Q:
How's the backbone on this knife, stiff, flexible, or in between? I saw one review calling it in between I guess, do I have a second or a third?
Answer: Yeah In between is a good description for the knife. Great knife love it. Got to use it on some flounder and reds this fall and it did great
Q:
Will the 6 inch knife be good for trout up to 12 inches?
Answer: I think this knife would be fine. The blade length doesn't need to equal the length of the fish if you only intend to use it to clean and gut trout. I've used a pocket knife in a pinch, but you won't want to put that back in your pocket.
Answer: After using this 6 inch blade on smaller trout. I will be getting a 4 inch blade.
Answer: I personally think yes, I prefer not to use knives with too long of a blade for better control. I use fillet knives as part of my arsenal for large game as well. Of course, like potato chips, you can't have just one...just saying.
Answer: I think the blade is too long. I use mine to fillet Large yellowtail. Over 40” fish. Just my opinion.
Q:
doe's kast king offer a decent sheath w/ belt attachment?
Answer: The knife comes with a hard plastic sheath that has openings down the flat length from hilt to almost the tip. There is a tang at the hilt to keep the knife secured. Unfortunately there is no belt type loop incorporated into it. Haven’t had a chance to filet with it yet but it has an interesting rubber like material covering the handle which gives it a nice grip feel in hand. Not sure if the blade is stainless ( may say in the description) as it has a mat black coating. Hope this helps.
Answer: The sheath is nice. It’s a hard plastic with slotted vents. I don’t recall seeing a belt loop. The knife of now at our home in Mexico so I can’t check that. Quality knife for sure.
Answer: Yes it does
Q:
Which length blade would you recommend for filleting Crappie or Walleye
Answer: 5"
Q:

Answer: My brother is a meat cutter by trade and he loves this knife. He says it does a great job.
Answer: It is a nice flexible sharp knife.
Q:
When will the 12” carving knife be available?
Q:
what is the best way to clean it?
Answer: Like most knives and utensils warm soapy water is the best method. I would not recommend the dishwasher. If you’re in the field and use the knife rinse with clean water until you can use dish soap.
Answer: Mine was so dull with no edge when I got it. Tried to sharpen many times. Threw in the trash. Would not recommend- hot soapy water and white vineger
Q:

Product reviews of KastKing Fillet Knife, Razor Sharp G4116 German Stainless-Steel Blade 5" - 9", Professional Level Knives for Filleting and Boning, Non-Slip Handles, Includes Protective Sheath.
YouTube Product Reviewers : Excellent knife.
While I haven't used it yet it does feel good in the hand. Good quality and arrived semi-sharp. While its not dull upon arrival, you will need to sharpen it more to get easy cuts. Expensive but very giftable as well. I am happy with the purchase. 4 1/2 Stars!
AMS : Sharp as a sword
Think I read a few reviews about it being dull...this sum bitch is sharp as a Samurai sword. Fits perfect, great size and it looks amazing. I don’t get the bad reviews, very sharp out the box. Great so far
Jordan : Stupid sharp and great blade protection
lucasdonlan : Very sharp & easy for lefties
I was determined to learn how to fillet fish that we catch and wanted to get a "starter" knife. I also wanted something that wouldn't seem awkward to hold since I'm left handed. This one was the least expensive on my list and was almost ready to pull the trigger on a much more expensive knife. The KastKing won out and I'm glad I bought it! Super sharp thin blade that easily cut away the fish skin (and other parts). Easy to hold as a left-handed person. I used it a couple times on our trip and will get a sharpening stone for the next trip. I would buy this knife again!
Fsuleiman123 : Sharp! Great knife.
Love this knife. Good size, super sharp. Case helps keep it safe and put away. I only used it once but I hope it stays this consistent down the road.
Scott Geary : Razor Sharp? Awful
Was excited to use this fillet knife on a few fish I caught just days after it arrived. What a massacre! Besides the very point, the edge was completely dull. Impossible to cut with.

Simon Adventum : Great filet knife
Bought it to filet snappers, very easy to hold and fits great in my hand, the blade is flexible enough for skinning fish. l'm looking to get a smaller one for cutting bait and a larger one for big tunas.
Bryan : I like it.
7" looks about perfect for freshwater fish. Handle feels good in the hand. Feels something like a cross between "rubberized" and "marshmallow". Blade is unmarked with steel or country of origin. It's definitely sharp, but not "scary sharp".
Adam Gardner : Not A Sharp Knife
I immediately returned this knife. It's not sharp. Not sharp enough to shave with. Not sharp enough to cut my finger when run it across the blade. When you test the blade with your thumb like you would any knife, it's got the feel of a dull steak knife at a cheap restaurant. I'm just glad I didn't wait until I was actually preparing a fish I caught. Lesson learned kids. Read the bad reviews too, not just the good ones.
Mariah Sanders : Must buy!
To be honest I don't know a whole lot about what goes into making a good knife but I can tell you that this is far more then a good knife. It's solid, has good weight to it and and the handle is super comfortable. Most importantly though it is stupid sharp. I have purchased other products from these guys and all of them have passed my expectations. They definitely make high quality stuff and will for sure be purchasing the other sizes to the set.
P.Wolf : First knife to break
I was out fishing on my boat I had this knife in the knife holder on my Magma Bait cutting station and went to take the knife out and it snapped in half. First time i ever seen a knife just break for no reason. This knife is over priced by 20x as it didn't even last 1 year.
AutoExec : Great purchase
I am really impressed with this knife. This is a very flexible blade. Those of you who like a little more stiffness should stay away, but I have managed to clean quite a few fish and I get beautiful fillets. The flexibility is especially nice for taking the skin off. In fact, if I really push it, I can take the skin off while leaving most of the silver skin. That wasn't intentional, I just didn't realize how flexible the blade was when I started.
The V : Great knife
KastKing products continue to impress me. This fillet knife made quick work of redfish and speckled trout for me. Give it a few quick pulls on the sharpener every few minutes and it will hold a sharp edge very well.
After many purchases of KastKing fishing items (mainly reels, etc) I have now started seeking out this brand.

Happycamper : Winner-Winner!
So, like most folks during Covid, my Son-in-Law took up fishing. Didn’t have a fish knife, was using a big pocket knife. The fish filets...looked like it. Give him this one: hard to lose, due to bright orange; really great handle, says it really helps him guide the blade; and the fish filets look like an expert cleaned the fish. Winner-Winner, Chicken Dinner!
Duffecker : Great for a beater knife
Pros;
Nice grippy handle,soft to the touch
Price is good
Cast King seems to offer decent quality for less than most
Seems like it would float if dropped in
Cons;
Did not come "razor sharp"
No sheath,just a blade cover
Easy to sharpen which is important because it doesn't hold an edge for long
Summary;
I have fillet knives that cost 200 dollars, that I have to keep in my gunsafe. For the money I spent on this one I can just throw it back in the tacklebox when done. I will buy another when this one bites it.

Nicholas A. : Super dull out of the box but nice grip.
I had really high Hopes for this knife. I used it to fillet 10 rockfish and I was appalled at how dull this knife is out of the box. I could barely even saw my way through the skin! This knife was very very disappointing and I would not recommend it to anyone. I have many other kastking products that I love, but this knife must have been defective or something. With all that said the grip is very nice!
SeekDestruction : Best filet knife I've ever owned...trust the reviews!
I read a lot of different reviews for various filet knives after mine that I've had for 20+ years would no longer take an edge so it was time to find a new one. The reviews of this knife were very good and I decided to order the 7" version as most of the fishing I do is bass and walleye. This knife arrived in a nice box with nice knife sheath for protection. The knife is extremely sharp which I assume most arrive that way but the main thing that impressed me is the balance and handle...awesome! Lightweight, easy to maneuver and won't slip out of your hand. Plus the blade has some great flex which is key to filleting a fish properly. Great knife and I'd highly recommend...buy it!
Dennis : Very ergonomic and sharp out of the box! I sharpened it to a razor and works even better.
I really like this knife for some of the best ergonomics I have seen on a knife. It was sharp however I made it razor sharp. It works even better after that and I will be watching how the edge retention is.
Joe : Nice!
Love the soft handle, gives it a good grip and feels great in my hand, cool design and color and comes out very sharp out of the box, great quality, happy with my purchase.
Drew : Sent me a dull butter knife!!!
Really disappointed in KastKing! I have so many of their products that I figured I'd purchase a fillet knife from them as well. The only thing that pisses me off about this, is that they advertise a SHARPENED KNIFE! Well.... Mine came duller than a butter knife, and now I'm sitting here with 20 Crappie that'll have to sit on ice over night until I get a new knife or go out and buy a sharpener! Appreciate the FALSE ADVERTISEMENT KASTKING!!!

Sam Rich : Good knife, dangerous sheath.
The knife itself is great, so, based solely on the blade, it's a good buy.
It is, however, horribly unsafe. The sheath has a lot of wide holes in it, as a stylistic choice. But, within the first 3 minutes of having the knife out of the box I gouged my finger because, and this is the important part, *if you hold the sheath by the sides when you put this knife away you WILL cut yourself.*
Not only that, but it takes a good amount of force to get it in, so you have to hold it very carefully before you store the knife.
Amazon won't let me upload my bloody hand but you get the idea.
Cannot imagine why they didn't just go for a simple, safe sheath. Only buy this if you are the only person who will use it and you are extremely careful each and every time you put it away.

Bill Andersen : dull upon arrival & fairly stiff blade
Knife came Very Dull. Only machine ground, not precision ground or honed.
It.took an edge after some coaxing, but no idea if it will hold an edge.
NOT the most flexible blade at all. Fairly stiff for a fillet knife. Maybe this 9" blade only good for huge fish ? Not a butcher knife, but stiff.

PrynceAl : Its all in the knife fa real!!
Never buy the walmart brand filet knives and u dont have to buy a Bubba...KK is the truth...I have been fishing for 35yrs and I just started cleaning my own fish like 2 weeks ago, this knife made me look like a pro.
Update 9/19/2021:
On 2nd thought I still give this knife 5 stars but I found myself really questioning this knife when my friend let me use his Bubba...yea I returned the KK and ordered a Bubba. I had to do sharpening already on the KK only after 3 fish, I also didnt like the cutting action I had to do with the KK ....using the Bubba all I had to do was slide the knife thru the fillet....SOLD.

Tony : Updating from 1 to 5 stars
kastking’s customer service is outstanding. You will not regret from buying stuff from them.
Eddie B. : Handles become discolored and begin to break apart
The knives out of the box were amazing. I own the 9, 7 and 6 inch. Each have great performance and great resharpening performance but, these handles need to go back to the lab. All of my handles became discolored, kinda moldy and breakage of whatever kind of latex ish material they used to cover them
The don't hold up well to a lot of use and lots of washing in my experience. I would love an explanation as to why this is happening with these handles.

Leo Harrison : Must have! Incredible quality at a more than fair price
Must have for any serious outdoorsman. Great price and quality! This knife is not only great looking, but it feels incredible in my hand. Nice cover is a great bonus. The handle has a great wrapping on it that makes it feel like it won't slip when wet. This bad boy is RAZOR sharp out of the box. Excellent flex to the blade. Makes my old fillet knife feel like a piece of junk. I will definitely be buying more of these knives in different sizes. I am totally sold on KastKings products. Super fast shipping too.
bfitzpatrick : KastKing Filet Knife
Ordered filet knife. Received meat carving knife. Could not give to intended recipient. Otherwise, good quality products… Too late to exchange. Didn’t bother trying to return due to hectic holidays.
Vbi : disgusting !
Bought two at once. One of them was used and got the fish scale on it , disgusting ! International shipping , custom opened the box to exam the bio-hazard. Returning.
Chris : Very sharp and very easy to grip
I love this knife! Even with wet messy hands, it was easy to hold. The Blade is extremely sharp and after a couple of uses, I have not noticed any change to that sharpness. I have the 9" and I am going to order the 6 or 7-inch knife to go with it for the smaller catches. I am very critical on these types of products and I was pleasantly surprised at how well this work at the price point. Great value and great product!

PJM : Works Very Well
I bought this to seamlessly remove the skin from entire fish fillets from the grocery store and it works beautifully. It is razor sharp and the sheath is great for protecting the blade. It also seems like it would go through my electric knife sharpener well when the time comes.
Nicholas A. : Super dull out of the box but nice grip.
I had really high Hopes for this knife. I used it to fillet 10 rockfish and I was appalled at how dull this knife is out of the box. I could barely even saw my way through the skin! This knife was very very disappointing and I would not recommend it to anyone. I have many other kastking products that I love, but this knife must have been defective or something. With all that said the grip is very nice!
Drew : Sent me a dull butter knife!!!
Really disappointed in KastKing! I have so many of their products that I figured I'd purchase a fillet knife from them as well. The only thing that pisses me off about this, is that they advertise a SHARPENED KNIFE! Well.... Mine came duller than a butter knife, and now I'm sitting here with 20 Crappie that'll have to sit on ice over night until I get a new knife or go out and buy a sharpener! Appreciate the FALSE ADVERTISEMENT KASTKING!!!
Marcus : Dull
Knife came out if the box very dull. Took it to get sharpened and was told that it was a very soft blade. Not worth using over and over again. Cheap knife.
Bryan : I like it.
7" looks about perfect for freshwater fish. Handle feels good in the hand. Feels something like a cross between "rubberized" and "marshmallow". Blade is unmarked with steel or country of origin. It's definitely sharp, but not "scary sharp".
AaronW : Best grips ever
The grips on these knives are amazing. It feels a lot like the Winn grips they put on some fishing rods. Super soft and non-slip. The blade is very sharp, and flexible on this 9" finesse version. I didn't realize how big a 9" fillet knife is before I ordered. It is much larger than the typical fillet knives I have. Great buy!
Katie L : Good for fishing Men
The handle is very comfortable, the knife is very sharp, and the back of the knife is versatile. Good for fishing.I will recommend it to friend.
Trevor B : I would look elsewhere
It seems like a great knife out of the box, and feels very sharp, but on my first use of it, I had to saw the fish. It is definitely not a filet knife. Filet knives should glide through the meat to give you clean and accurate cutting, and this just doesnt do that
Mario - Probiotic Gardens : GET it.
This knife is a game changer. Makes my previous knife seem like a spork. Cuts like butter and super badass grip. I love it. I'll be getting my Brother and Pop one for xmas. Thanks Kastking. Products are good so far. You are earning my business.

Osiris Infante : Really sharp* amazing feel
Simon Adventum : Great filet knife
Bought it to filet snappers, very easy to hold and fits great in my hand, the blade is flexible enough for skinning fish. l'm looking to get a smaller one for cutting bait and a larger one for big tunas.
YK : There are a lot of better alternatives
Serious quality control issues

Kristie H. : Great knife just not as flexible as I like.
This is a great knife for the money. The only critique I could make and this would be personal preference is that I wish the blade was a little bit more flex to it. I used it to process venison and when I push down on the cutting board it does not flex as easy as other knives I own.
The handle feels great in my hands and felt easy to hold onto for hours at a time.

raWr Fishing : Super Sharp Knife with Awesome Grip
I can't express how impressed I am with the knife handle. Water, Slime, and guts are all slippery fluids, but even with that on your hands and the knife, I can say that I was able to safely hold the knife and get the job done! The hump on the handle also helps you hold onto the knife, but seriously, the WINN Grips on it is a game changer! Super comfortable too!
The knife is super sharp and made my trout cleaning so easy! Can't wait to use it again soon!
Update:
Bought the bait knife and my neighbor accidentially cut himself while he was helping me unbox it! I can say that it is super sharp! just need to test it on fish and not humans!
