This high-carbon combination takes a sharp, aggressive edge ideal for filleting. Because it's carbon Damascus, a quick rinse and light coat of food-safe oil after each use keeps it clean and rust-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Material: 1095 \u0026amp; 15N20 high-carbon Damascus steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Type: Flexible fillet blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHardness: HRC 56-58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHandle Material: Micarta with Damascus steel bolster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOverall Length: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Length: 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHandle Length: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTang: Full tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eIncluded: Cowhide leather sheath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho This Knife Is For:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e✔️ Anglers who fillet panfish and medium-sized catches regularly\u003cbr\u003e✔️ Anyone who wants a fillet knife with real control for detailed cuts\u003cbr\u003e✔️ Outdoorsmen who value a durable, water-resistant handle\u003cbr\u003e✔️ A meaningful gift for fishermen, hunters, and knife collectors — especially for birthdays, Father's Day, or the holiday season\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRinse and dry the blade after each use, and apply a light coat of food-safe oil before storage since this is high-carbon Damascus steel.
