Get a closer look at the knife and I’ll tell you why this is the knife the pros rely on to get the job done!
Dexter Fillet Knife Review [VIDEO]
Start Catching MORE fish in LESS time!
This knife has a white handle with a flexible 7-inch blade.
This hits close to home for me because it is my absolute favorite, go-to fillet knife no matter what.
I was previously a Fish Monger where I cut and fillet all sorts of different species of fish at a seafood market.
Not just myself, but others who worked alongside me for 20+ years relied on Dexter Fillet knives day in and day out.
There are a few things that set this blade apart from the rest.
Details & Overview
As I mentioned, this is a 7-inch blade with medium flexibility.
This knife will bend a bit if pressure is applied to it.
You need a knife that bends around the rib bones and this one fits that bill.
The major advantage of these knives is they are a full tang.
This means that the blade runs all the way down from the point of the blade through the entire handle.
With that feature, you have total control of the blade.
Moreover, the handle on the blade has ridges for your fingers to prevent your hand from slipping.
From appearance alone, the handle looks like rough, hard plastic.
But, it is actually much softer than you think.
Now, let’s talk about the blade.
There are plenty of knives out there that are stainless steel.
However, the Dexter Knives are made with a high-carbon composite metal.
Both high-carbon and stainless steel are made from iron but the properties are not the same.
Make sure you rinse the knife after each use and dry it off very well before putting it back in the sheath.
Time and again, Dexter Fillet Knives get the job done and it’s what I have relied on and will continue to rely on for years to come.
Oh, and these are made right here in the U.S.A.!
Would you be at all interested in a fish fillet mini-course or lesson?

yes to the course on cleaning fish
I would enjoy a course on filleting a variety of fish (sea trout, flounder, redfish, cobia)
I would love to see a course on filleting fish
👍👍👍
ME TOO…
Coming soon fellas!
I’d be interested in seeing a fish fillet mini course. I love learning new technique for cleaning fish. Especially from a former fish monger! Thanks
Coming soon!
Yes – I would like to see fish filleting lessons.
gotcha!
Would love video with knife and use with multiple cuts of different fish.
coming soon!
I also worked and owned a seafood store where there were times I cut 1000 lbs of red grouper a day in addition to many other kinds of fish including snapper, mahi and tuna. The only knife I and my other cutters used were Dexter’s. I still use Dexter’s for my recreational fish cutting also. Nice video. I agree with everything you mentioned in it.

Thanks for the backing on this Capt! They are great products!
Interested in a course filleting and proper way to sharpen the dexter knife with the sharpener you mentioned.
Sharpening video coming very soon as well! Video will be able to cover the how and why. thanks for the suggestion on this Shawn!
Absolutely interested in a course on proper cleaning/filleting of various species of fish. Thanks Matt!!
Hey Bradley, we got ya covered! Coming Soon!
Well Matt, it looks like the idea of fish cleaning is a big demand. I would agree as with so many newer fisherman, cleaning a fish properly is a big deal. I can say whenI started out I butchered my fish rather then filet them. There are a series of video’s out there from Captain Vince Russo on how to filet many different kinds of fish on Youtube. He too uses a Dexter knife but more of skinning knife. Anyway, it would be great and I think this could be one of the best additions to SaltStrong, a whole tab of video’s on cleaning various fish, it woulf be a major hit. Thanks for all your work on this topic.
Thanks for the feedback Joe! I’ll have to check out his videos!
