Fillet V3 (AEBL Stainless Steel)

I'm excited to introduce the Fillet V3! Based on user feedback I've made small tweaks on my previous designs to and made adjustments to create a new design that'll help give an overall great experience for filleting as well as deboning and meat trimming.

To compare this blade to my Tactical Fillet Knife, this blade is slightly thinner, with a little more flex. Furthermore it has more curve to the blade and tip. The handle is narrower and doesn't have the same anti slip grip that synthetic handle materials do, however I find this style of handle to be easier to readjust in the hand so that you can easily and quickly adjust your grip for fine detail work if needed, which makes it much more manageable for medium sized fish.

Another one of my favourite aspects of this new blade is the blade finish, which is an acid stonewash. This creates an additional rust barrier, as well as a unique look to the blade. As with any blade finish it may scratch with use, however any scratches should blend into the rustic finish.

As with previous fillet blades, I've chosen to go with AEBL High Carbon Stainless Steel for the blade. I find that AEBL has a good flex/hardness ratio and gives great edge retention for a flexible blade. However in my opinion one of the greatest benefits of AEBL is its ability to resharpen easily when compared to other stainless steels. I find it sharpens more like a carbon steel, which makes it easy to touch up in the field and get back to a razors edge very quickly.Furthermore, each blade features a convex edge to provide a bit more durability when cutting through bones and scales.

These knives come with wood handles, and I've chosen a few exotic woods for their moisture resistant properties. Currently I only offer Pau Ferro for the handles, however I will be adding more handle options to the lineup in the future. In order to create a durable handle, after finish sanding each handle has been given 3 coats of oil followed by buffing with wax to help give additional moisture resistant properties. 

Each knife is handmade in Manitoba Canada by bladesmith Graeson Fehr, and delivered razor sharp. These knives are crafted from high quality materials with careful attention to detail, and each include a kydex sheath.
