Handmade Fillet & Boning Knife Set | 440C Stainless Steel | 13" Fillet + 10" Boning Knife with Leather Sheaths – Fish & Game Processing Kit
Handmade Fillet & Boning Knife Set — Complete Fish & Game Processing Kit
Built for anyone who processes their own fish and game, this matched two-piece set pairs a flexible 13" fillet knife with a 10" boning knife, both forged from 440C stainless steel. Together, they give you the right blade for every stage of the job — lifting clean fillets and working precisely around bone and joints.
Two Knives, One Complete Kit:
🔪 13" Fillet Knife – A long, flexible blade that follows the spine and ribs of a fish to lift clean fillets with minimal waste.
🔪 10" Boning Knife – A shorter, more controllable blade for working around bone, separating joints, and trimming meat cleanly.
Together, this pair covers what anglers, hunters, and home butchers actually need — the right tool for each part of the job, instead of forcing one blade to do everything.
440C Stainless Steel — Built for Wet Work:
Both blades are crafted from 440C stainless steel, hardened to 57-60 HRC. This high-carbon stainless steel holds a sharp edge while resisting rust and corrosion far better than carbon steel — ideal for knives that spend their life around water, fish, and raw meat. A quick rinse and dry is all the maintenance these blades need.
Full-Tang Strength, Resin Handles:
Both knives are full tang, with steel running the entire length of the handle for strength and balance. The resin handles deliver a secure, comfortable grip that holds up to moisture without drying out or cracking — practical and good-looking in equal measure.

FAQs:
Q: What's the difference between the fillet and boning knife?
The fillet knife has a long, thin, flexible blade designed to glide along fish bones and separate flesh cleanly. The boning knife has a shorter, stiffer blade for cutting around bone and separating joints in meat.
Q: Is 440C stainless steel good for fillet and boning knives?
Yes. It takes a sharp edge and resists rust and corrosion, making it ideal for knives used around water, fish, and raw meat, with far less maintenance than carbon steel.
Q: Will these knives rust?
440C stainless is highly rust-resistant. A quick rinse and dry after use keeps both blades in top condition.
Q: Are both knives full tang?
Yes — both the fillet and boning knife are full tang for maximum strength and balance during repeated use.
Q: Do both knives come with sheaths?
Yes, each knife includes its own handmade leather sheath for safe storage and carry.
