Dalstrong Fillet Knife - 7 inch Flexible Blade - Night Shark Series

The Night Shark Series is a classic knife loved by many. Dalstrong has designed this series to be the ultimate culinary tool, crafting each knife over 60 days using 7CR17MOV steel with Dalstrong's LionShield treatment and precision-based D3 sharpening. This high-quality construction delivers professional results at an affordable cost.

The Night Shark 7" Fillet Knife features a narrow, flexible blade that allows for maneuvering around bone, joints, and skin. Users can filet, trim, skin, de-bone, de-scale, and butterfly with accuracy and speed. The blade is naturally rust-proof 7CR17MOV stainless steel, titanium-coated for added strength, and painstakingly hand-sharpened to 16-18° per side by expert craftsmen using Dalstrong's unique "Diamond" honbazuke method, ensuring it maintains its edge for longer.

The ergonomic, textured handle is crafted from two incredibly durable, heat-resistant plastics, contoured for a super comfortable grip. The handle's "rough like shark skin" texture clings to the palm, even when wet, and the deep index finger "choil" divot ensures the grip never falters. This knife is built for professional use but ready for outdoor adventures, as it is stain-resistant, easy to clean, and perfect for both kitchen and outdoor cooking environments. The included ballistic nylon sheath features holes designed to let users strap the blade securely to a belt or backpack.

Proper knife handling is essential for precision and efficiency in the kitchen. The "hammer grip" is the simplest and most natural way to hold a knife, with all five fingers wrapped around the handle and no contact with the blade. For more dexterity and control, the "pinch grip" can be used, where the middle, pinky, and index fingers wrap around the handle, and the bent index finger and thumb "pinch" the blade on either side of the bolster.

Maintenance is easy, with the Night Shark Series knives washing up quickly with soap and water. Users can let the knife air dry or gently wipe off excess water before storing it safely in the included PerfectFit sheath.

Keeping a knife's edge sharp is important for both performance and safety. Dalstrong recommends learning how to use a whetstone to ensure knives are always ready for any culinary challenge. Sharper knives are safer because they slice, rather than slip or tear.

Dalstrong is on a mission to bring more inspiration and fun into the art of cooking through high-performance tools and innovative designs. Whether you're a professional chef or a home cook, Dalstrong has the perfect tool for you, with a passion for innovation and a love of performance driving their relentless pursuit of the best chef tools and culinary experiences.
