Product Description
If you prefer to stow your fishing gear compactly without sacrificing performance, the Kershaw Folding Fillet is the ultimate addition to your tackle box. Endorsed by Hall of Fame Fisherman Roland Martin, this 6.25-inch folder provides the reach of a full-sized fillet knife while folding down to a portable 6.5 inches for easy storage.
The blade is crafted from Japanese 420J2 stainless steel, chosen specifically for its high corrosion resistance—a critical feature when working in wet marine environments. This "softer" steel provides the perfect degree of flex, allowing the blade to bend without breaking as it glides through the body of the fish to deliver clean, ideal fillets. The handle is constructed from durable glass-filled nylon (GFN) with a rubberized overmold featuring Kershaw’s exclusive K-Texture grip. This non-slip pattern ensures a secure hold even when your hands are wet or covered in fish scales. For safety, a sturdy back lock keeps the blade firmly in place during use and releases easily when you’re ready to pack up.
