Güde Alpha Walnut Fillet Knife 18 cm Flexible - CVM Knife Steel - Walnut Wood Handle Scales

A filleting knife is meant for...? Well? Exactly, it's designed for filleting. Unlike a chef's knife, it has a narrower and thinner blade. With it, you can, for example, trim meat and fish, removing skin and tendons. And then cut it into paper-thin pieces, that is, fillet.

The Alpha walnut filleting knife has a thin and narrow blade measuring 18 cm in length, made of stainless & hand-ground chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Of course, you can also use the filleting knife for many other cutting tasks.

Güde knives are hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, from the tip of the blade to the double bolster. The double bolster, a special feature of Güde knives, serves as a counterweight to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The special blend of steel and the elaborate manufacturing process, which involves over 30 manual steps, give the stainless blades, with a hardness of about 58 HRC, exceptional robustness and durability.

The finely polished handle scales made of selected walnut wood are embedded in the steel and triple-riveted. The very hard & durable wood has a strong, elegant grain.
