CRKT 9" Fillet

So, many fishermen are reluctant to invest in a fine folding fillet knife like our Kommer Surf' N Turf® or our premium Kommer Big Eddy™ Fillet Knives.

Recognizing these realities, we asked fishing guide and knifemaker Russ Kommer to come up with a line of affordable fillet knives that we could take pride in and put the CRKT brand on. Here they are, in three sizes. Each one has a flexible 5Cr15MoV stainless steel blade with an extended tang that reaches nearly to the butt of the grip. For improved performance, we hand-grind scallops into the blades to create air pockets so the fillets won't stick to the blades as you cut—a feature normally found only on much more expensive slicing knives.

The handles are molded TPR with a fishnet texture and a lanyard hole. Each size comes with an injection molded polypropylene sheath, fitted to grip the knife securely, with belt loops and plenty of drain slots. The Model 3017 has a 7.25" blade, and is ideal for cleaning and filleting smaller pan fish, bass and trout.

It also makes a useful general camp and bait knife. Even at their value prices, these fillets are covered by the CRKT Limited Lifetime Warranty. They're just honest affordable knives. Wash them when you're done, oil them occasionally, and they'll be around for years.
