Kai Fillet knife flexible Shun Classic - 32 layers damask steel - 18 cm - DM-0761

The Kai Shun Classic Fillet Knife Flexible 18 cm - DM-0761 is a high-quality filleting knife designed for precise and smooth filleting of fish and meat. The 18 cm flexible blade is made of durable VG-MAX stainless steel and surrounded by 32 layers of damask steel. This combination of materials provides exceptional sharpness and durability and creates the recognizable wavy pattern on the blade. The knife's flexibility makes it easy to make thin, even cuts, even along the bones and skin of fish, without damaging the delicate flesh.

The ergonomic handle, made of high-quality Pakka wood, sits comfortably in the hand and provides optimal control and stability while cutting. The D-mould of the handle fits the hand perfectly, making the knife suitable for long-term use in both professional kitchens and enthusiastic home cooks. Combining craftsmanship with functionality, this Japanese fillet knife is an indispensable tool for filleting and chopping ingredients with precision and ease.

I highly recommend this product for anyone who takes working with fish seriously. The flexible 18 cm blade follows the contours of pin bones and skin exactly the way I want, so I waste as little fish as possible. The VG-MAX steel with 32 layers of Damascus steel not only gives that beautiful wavy pattern but also provides an edge that stays sharp for a long time. The Pakkahout D-shaped handle feels surprisingly comfortable in my hand, even when I'm filleting a whole side of salmon. To me, Japanese craftsmanship and everyday usability go hand in hand.

FAQ

Is this fillet knife dishwasher-safe?
No — wash the Kai Shun Classic Fileermes by hand whenever possible. The blade is made of VG-MAX stainless steel with 32 layers of Damascus steel — materials that retain their edge and the attractive wavy pattern longest when you avoid exposing them to the harsh conditions of a dishwasher. How to care for the knife: • Cleaning: rinse the knife immediately after use with warm water and a mild dish soap. • Drying: dry the knife right away with a soft cloth — never leave it in damp conditions. • Storage: store the knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in the included protective sheath — not loose in a drawer. With this simple care the knife will last for years.
What is this fillet knife best suited for?
This fillet knife is specially designed for precise work with fish and meat. Thanks to the flexible 18 cm blade you can easily cut along bones and skin without damaging the delicate flesh. Think of: • Filleting fish: salmon sides, trout, sole — the knife follows the natural line of the fish carcass. • Slicing meat thinly: for even, thin slices with minimal waste. The knife is suitable for both home cooks and professional kitchens.
How do I keep the blade as sharp as possible?
The VG-MAX steel of this knife is exceptionally hard and holds its edge well — but a bit of maintenance will keep it performing even longer. • Sharpening: use a whetstone with a fine grit suitable for Japanese steel. Maintain the correct angle (typically 10–15 degrees for Japanese knives). • Keeping the edge: do not use a steel sharpening rod — it is too aggressive for this type of steel. Prefer a ceramic sharpening rod for fine maintenance. • Cutting surface: always work on a wooden or plastic cutting board. Glass, stone, or ceramic surfaces will quickly damage the cutting edge. Regular sharpening on a whetstone gives the best results for this type of Japanese knife.
Is the handle suitable for both right- and left-handed users?
The handle of this knife has a D-shape, made from high-quality Pakka wood. This D-shape is traditionally designed for right-handed users — the grip is asymmetrical and fits most comfortably in a right hand. Left-handed users can use the knife, but the ergonomic benefits of the D-shape are less optimal. For left-handed users it is advisable to look at a specifically left-handed model within the Kai Shun range.
What is the difference between a flexible fillet knife and a regular chef's knife?
A flexible fillet knife and a chef's knife are both sharp — but they serve different purposes. • Flexible fillet knife (this knife): the blade flexes while cutting. That makes it ideal for working precisely along pin bones, larger bones, and skin. You lose minimal meat or fish. • Chef's knife: has a stiff, wider blade — perfect for chopping, slicing and using a rocking motion on vegetables, herbs and meat for dicing. This Kai Shun fileermes has a blade length of 18 cm, which makes it suitable for medium to large fish and cuts of meat.
