Opinel Fillet Knife Filet n°121 blade length 180 mm beech wood handle
All professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts know that it's impossible to overlook a sharp knife when preparing fish. Although technique is important, it must always be accompanied by specific equipment to ensure the fineness of the cut. The Fillet knife, also known as a sole knife, has been specially designed for this purpose. Unlike a classic cleaver, a fillet knife features a long, thin steel blade, integrated into a wooden handle with measured grip. Sharp and precise, its blade delicately runs along the fish's bone to lift the fillet without damaging it.
Of all the kitchen/table knife ranges, the extreme precision of the fillet knife gives it versatile use. Whether it's for deveining foie gras, slicing a meat fillet, or carving chicken, it's a choice ally.
