This 7 inch fillet and boning knife is being used as a sharp, well balanced trimming tool for brisket, BBQ meats, and other precise cuts. The high carbon stainless blade is described as very sharp out of the box, with good heft and a comfortable handle, and the same line is said to hold an edge well. The main caution is that it is not flexible, so it suits deboning and meat trimming better than fish work. The listing is also criticized as misleading about Japanese origin, since the knife is made in China and the steel is framed as Japanese. High carbon care matters too, because rust is a concern without washing, drying, and oiling.
Common Questions (5)
Yes, the discount appears at checkout, and it applies to both the 7-inch and 9-inch versions. Several buyers reported paying about $25-$26 after tax.
Yes. It has been used successfully for trimming brisket, BBQ pork shoulder, steaks, and meat slicing, with reports of strong balance, good heft, and a very sharp edge out of the box. It is more of a finesse knife and is less flexible than some fish fillet knives.
At around $25-$26, it is described as a decent buy if you want a sharp, well-balanced knife for meat trimming. The main caveat is that the brand's pricing and origin labeling are viewed as misleading, so the value depends on whether you accept a China-made knife with Japanese-style branding.
No. The knife is made in China, and the "Japanese" wording refers to the blade style and steel description rather than the manufacturing location. The listing is misleading if you expect a Japan-made knife.
It can. The blade is high-carbon steel, so it needs washing, drying, and ideally oiling after use to prevent rust or corrosion.
