Mustad Fillet Knife- w/ Sheath Green Line 7"

The Mustad Fillet Knife with Sheath in Green Line is a 7-inch freshwater fillet knife built for anglers who want efficiency and precision when processing their catch. Whether you're cleaning panfish, trout, or other smaller freshwater species, this knife pairs a curved blade with a thoughtfully designed handle to make the work faster and cleaner. The soft grip keeps your hand comfortable during repetitive filleting, while the blade geometry is shaped to let you work as close to the bone as possible—maximizing usable meat and minimizing waste.

What sets this fillet knife apart is its bolsterless blade design. That means there's no thick collar where the blade meets the handle, so you can use the entire length of the blade and sharpen it easily when the edge starts to dull. Medium flex in the blade gives you the right balance of control and feel; stiff enough to guide your cuts, flexible enough to follow the contours of the fish. The included sheath keeps the blade protected and ready to go, whether you're heading out on a day trip or packing for a backcountry angling adventure.

Mustad's name is synonymous with hooks and fishing tackle—they've been making tools for anglers since 1877—and this fillet knife carries that heritage of reliability into the kitchen, boat, or camp. It's a solid choice if you process your own fish and want a working tool that won't quit on you.
