Fillet Knives – The Knives of Tyrolit Life

Sharpness and handling are two qualities that are paramount in a filleting knife. If you want to buy such a knife, the sharp blade and the handle play an overriding role, as do the materials used.

In order to best meet the individual needs of users, Tyrolit Life manufactures various fillet knives with different blade lengths:

• Fillet cut (23 cm)
• Fly Wheel Cut (23cm)
• Meat cut (15 cm)
• Ham knife (21 cm)

The fillet knife from Tyrolit Life is exceptionally suited for precisely cutting meat and fish. It represents a special type of knife that was initially a crucial tool for both hobbyists and professional anglers. Its long, thin, and extremely sharp blade was highly valued in fishing, as it allowed for easy segmenting of caught fish and removal of bones.

Today, the filleting knife has transcended its original use as a mere fishing knife to become beloved in the kitchen and valued by many chefs as a precise instrument. Beyond fish processing, the knife excels in handling meat, serving as a boning knife for the removal of bones, tendons, and cartilage. Its notably pointy blade, characterized by its minimal thickness, facilitates precision tasks on both fish and meat, providing flexibility in its handling.

While commonly utilized as a fish or meat knife, the knife is also adept at processing fruits and vegetables. For instance, it can effortlessly separate orange and lemon peels, making them perfect for crafting delicious cocktails.

If you invest in a high-quality filleting knife, you usually want to use it in the kitchen for many years. For you to enjoy your new knife for a long time and for it to serve you well, optimal storage and care are indispensable.

A storage box or a knife block, for example, is recommended for storage. Since even the highest quality blade becomes duller over time, it may also be worth buying a grindstone or sharpening stick. With a knife sharpener from Tyrolit Life, you can give blunted cutting edges a new shine and sharpen the blade of your filleting knife at regular intervals. By using special underlays during cutting, you also contribute to maintaining a sharp knife blade.
