ZWILLING Filleting knife - 18 cm

This 18 cm filleting knife is specifically designed for the precise and clean cutting of meat and fish, allowing for easy separation of fillets from bones and clean slicing of fibers.

The V-edge is a two-stage sharpening process that results in a fine, symmetrical edge with an approximate 15-degree angle per side, providing exceptional cutting precision and sharpness.

Yes, the knife is designed to withstand the dishwasher. However, hand washing is highly recommended to maintain the blade's sharpness, edge retention, and overall longevity.

The blade is precision-forged from a single piece of special ZWILLING stainless steel and is FRIODUR® ice-hardened for durability and corrosion resistance. The handle is made of an ergonomic synthetic material.

Thanks to the SIGMAFORGE® construction and FRIODUR® ice-hardening process, the cutting edge offers exceptional durability and long-lasting sharpness.

ZWILLING offers a Lifetime Warranty on this product, covering defects in materials and workmanship.

It is best to store the knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or using a blade guard. This protects the sharp edge from damage and prevents accidental cuts.

The knife is precision-honed but may benefit from a quick touch-up with a honing steel to align the edge. If still not sharp, it may require professional sharpening or sharpening with a whetstone.

Although the blade is corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture or acidic foods without immediate cleaning can cause minor spotting. Wash and dry the knife immediately after use. Mild rust spots can often be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner.

Ensure the handle is dry. The ergonomic design is intended for a secure grip; however, individual hand shapes vary. If slippage is a persistent concern, consider alternative storage or handling methods, and always ensure a clean, dry grip.

The knife is designed for balanced weight distribution. If it feels unbalanced, ensure there is no debris caught between the bolster and the blade, and that the knife is clean. The perceived balance can also be subjective to user preference.
