Product Description
The Kershaw 1242GEX 9-inch Curved Fillet Knife is a versatile powerhouse designed to dominate the cleaning table and the kitchen alike. Whether you are processing a saltwater haul, large freshwater fish, or field-dressing wild game, this oversized blade provides the reach and flexibility needed to break down protein into manageable, professional cuts with a single pass.
The 9.0-inch curved blade is crafted from 420J2 stainless steel, specifically selected for its high corrosion resistance and the perfect amount of lateral flex for filleting around bones. The upswept "breaking" profile enables a full range of motion, ensuring clean, precise cuts through thick skin and muscle. To combat the slippery conditions of marine environments, the handle is constructed from durable Glass-Filled Nylon (GFN) with a rubberized overmold featuring Kershaw's proprietary K-Texture™ grip. This aggressive texturing ensures a secure, non-slip hold even when your hands are wet or covered in fish slime. At 5.5 ounces, this knife is light enough for extended processing sessions and comes with a dedicated blade protector for safe storage in your tackle box or kitchen drawer.
