Stalgast 16 cm Fillet Knife with Red Handle

A fillet knife slices through flesh along the bone, separating meat or fish without tearing. The narrow, flexible blade bends to follow contours, letting the operator cut close to the skeleton while keeping the fillet intact. This method preserves yield and presentation, which is critical for portion control in professional kitchens.

To use the knife, the operator holds the handle in a firm grip and draws the blade along the bone with a smooth, controlled motion. The red handle provides visual contrast, helping staff locate the knife quickly on a busy worktop. The 16 cm blade length suits small to medium fish and poultry, allowing precise manoeuvres in tight spaces.

The blade is made of stainless steel, resisting corrosion and maintaining a sharp edge through repeated use. The handle is shaped to fit the hand, reducing fatigue during extended preparation. Both blade and handle are dishwasher-safe, simplifying cleaning between services.

The 16 cm length refers to the blade only, giving a compact footprint that fits easily in knife rolls and utensil drawers. The HACCP note confirms the materials and construction meet hygiene standards for food-contact equipment.

Cleaning involves washing the blade and handle after each use to remove protein residue, which can harbour bacteria. The dishwasher-safe construction allows high-temperature sanitising, though hand washing with a mild detergent prolongs the edge sharpness. Regular honing keeps the blade aligned for consistent performance.
