“I love my MN Fillet Knife. I purchased the trout blade for the express reason to fillet crappies. Works great. Sharp, small and compact, easy to throw in my tackle box.”

“I bought one for my father for Christmas; he loves it, brags about how sharp it is constantly. Worth every dime I paid for it.”

| Minnesota Fillet Knife – Sharp Blade – Handmade
Blade
At Minnesota Fillet Knife we realize that a good knife begins with a good blade. We only select steel that is:
- Of the highest quality
- Free of defects & impurities
- Has a Rockwell hardness-test ranging in the upper 50s.
John has chosen two time-tested blade patterns that provide the outdoors person with everything they need in a fillet knife.
 - Classic “Trout Blade” – A light blade ideal for Trout as well as Sunfish and Crappies, slicing through them like the proverbial “hot knife through butter.” It has a unique upward curved design, allowing the user to de-bone the ribcage and skin the fillet with a gentle flick of the wrist.
- Classic “Double Edge” Blade – A long blade, measuring 7 5/8” inches in length (12 ½” overall) that is perfect for use on Walleyes or Northern Pike. The top edge of the blade is ideal for removing the “Y” bone in a Northern Pike or other difficult places when detaching the fillet. Great for Panfish as well.
Handle
Many fillet knives on the market today are made with a thin handle that is difficult for some users to control. Minnesota Fillet Knife handles are designed with the user in mind; designed to be ergonomically correct. The handles’ silky smooth contour is comfortable and easy to control when cleaning a large amount of fish.
The handles are created from a variety of native MN hardwoods, including Oak, Cherry and Maple. However, the material preferred most by MN Fillet Knife is the Dymondwood™, a polycarbonate composite material that uses a super-strength resin to join the layers of dried wood stock. By using Dymondwood™ we are able to create a handle that is:
- Beautiful
- Nearly indestructible, withstanding years of use and abuse
The solid brass rivets are joined with the handle and blade by a five-ton epoxy, creating a beautiful, strong adhesion of all parts.
Sheath
Our sheaths are created using a thick 8-9oz. tooling leather for the blade. Each sheath is:
