Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The narrow, flexible, sharply pointed 7-inch blade on this fillet knife is perfect for removing bones and skin from fish. Like other Henckels Five Star knives, it has a distinctive handle molded from black polypropylene like a gentle wave to fit the hand snugly, though small-handed cooks might find it a bit thick and long. Its tang is rat-tail shaped rather than full, but the knife is strong and nicely balanced. Like other top-grade Henckels knives, Five Star series blades are formed by a high-tech welding process combining three high-carbon, stainless-steel types into what appears to be a single piece so a knife's parts have the distinct characteristic ideal for each. Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging, but Henckels says the invisible welds are stronger than the steel itself. While the knife is dishwasher-safe, it should be hand-washed to protect the edge. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

A Higher Standard in Knife Construction
TWIN® Five Star knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, TWIN® Five Star knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, TWIN® Five Star knives use J.A. Henckels’ Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.
It's All in The Grip:
 | The Five Star® series features high impact polypropylene handles that are permanently bonded to the knife blades without any gaps. These ergonomic handles are break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast. In addition, the super bolster provides weight, insures safety, and adds balance. |

Henckels 7-Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Fillet,
This review is from: Henckels Five Star 7-Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Fillet Knife (Kitchen)
Some might find the price to be a bit much when compared to other fillet knives, but believe me, this knife is worth every penny. If properly cared for, another will never be needed. I have been using Henckels knives since 1975 when I began working in a restaurant kitchen. At that time I knew nothing about the difference between knives, type of steel used or anything else. I've learned a lot since then and I am totally sold on Henckels products. I still own the first 8" chef knife that I bought from Henckels in 1975 and it is still as sharp as a razor (a good sharpening steel is a must). I received the 7-inch fillet knife as a gift just over a year ago and it is a tremendous addition to my collection. I now use my fillet knife almost exclusively to fillet fish - I spend a lot of time fishing - and it is important to have a very sharp, but still flexable knife to cut through or around bones as needed. This is especially true for filleting Walleyes, Bass, Northern Pike and Blue Gills. I've used other brands, and I can't really say anything bad about them because they worked. Perhaps for a novice, a shorter blade might be better to start with. But for my money, this knife is by far the best I have used and I prefer it over all others.
