The delicate job of filleting a round fish such as snapper or a flatfish like sole is best with a thin, flexible blade. The Masters Collection Hyde Park fillet knife is the tool of choice for the certified master chefs at the culinary institute of america for its performance in filleting fish. A full tang (the solid-piece of steel from the tip through the handle) runs the entire length of the handle to provide optimum balance. The professionally designed balance- forward handle and streamlined bolster are contoured for the ultimate in control and comfort. The corrosion resistant blade, forged from a single-piece of high carbon, no-stain german steel, offers a lifetime of filleting perfection.
