Shredded Fibers Fillet Knife 249mm

With this strikingly handsome fillet knife, artist Dan Bidinger breaks briefly from his well-loved chef and gyuto blade profiles to craft a purpose-specific butcher’s tool.In AEB-L high-performance stainless steel, 249mm / 9.8″ of razor-sharp edge sit beneath superbly shaped bevels that feature Dan’s freehand convex geometry and a beautiful, silky satin finish. Gently rounded for a smooth touch and tapering forward, a taper most pronounced in the final inches before the slim, needle-like tip, the blade’s spine allows for only a touch of lateral flexibility, giving the tool a tough, hard-working, while still versatile feel. The corrosion-resistant steel is ideal for demanding work conditions and exposure to the elements while still maintaining a high hardness of 62 HRC at the edge. As elegant as the long, upswept blade may be, the handle gives it a run for its money in the ‘head-turning looks’ department. Sculpted for ergonomics, comfort, and control over a blade destined for big cuts is a handle sculpted from shredded carbon fiber layered atop liners of vintage micarta, all secured by three oversized, flush, copper bolts.
