Kershaw Clearwater 9" Fixed Fillet Knife with Satin 420J2 Stainless Steel Blade and Black Co-polymer Handle, Includes Sheath

The Kershaw Clearwater 9" fixed fillet knife is built for anglers who demand a reliable, purpose-built blade for cleaning and preparing fish at the water or camp. With a 9-inch satin 420J2 stainless steel blade and a black co-polymer handle, this fixed-blade design delivers the durability and edge retention you need when processing your catch. The full-tang construction and solid handle grip make it a workhorse that won't quit, whether you're fillet-ing walleye on a lake or prepping dinner after a successful trip.

Fillet knives live a hard life—water, salt, constant use against bones and skin. Kershaw engineered the Clearwater to handle that abuse without fuss. The 420J2 stainless steel blade resists corrosion and takes a sharp edge, and the satin finish resists fingerprints and scratches better than polished steel. The co-polymer handle won't crack, swell, or absorb water, and it delivers a solid grip even when wet and slick.

This is a no-frills knife: no fancy Damascus, no titanium scales, no marketing fluff—just a purpose-built fillet blade that's ready to work. It comes with a sheath so you can secure it safely in a tackle bag or hang it in the kitchen.
