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?

Thank you and yes to the fish cleaning video.
Thank you for the video Matt! Do you think this Dexter knife would be a significant upgrade to my current knife which is a Cutco Fisherman’s Solution knife? https://www.cutco.com/p/fishermans-solution&sr=sid-5197049-ap-3
Hey Nick! I think that cutco is a good knife! However I believe it is a bit more stiff than the Dexter. Truthfully, it’s all about preference. I don’t think you can go wrong with adding a Dexter to your collection at the price. Good question!
Matt – Thank you for your opinion on adding the Dexter. I plan to buy it along with the sharpener.
How to sharpen the blade
We have a video on how to use the sharpener that we carry in the tackle store. It’s in the fishing tips section. 💪
Would also appreciate a review of different sharpening methods, thanks.
Thanks for the feedback! 💪
