Pro-Tips: Getting the Most From Your Kit
- Safety First: The non-slip grips are excellent, but for maximum safety when dealing with slippery fish, consider pairing your kit with a cut-resistant filleting glove.
- Knife Care for Longevity: Always hand wash and dry your knives immediately after use to prevent rust, especially with the German Steel series. Store them dry in the provided roll-up bag.
- The Right Tool for the Job: Use the 9" boning knife for initial gutting and removing the head. Switch to the 7" or 8" fillet knife for the delicate work of skinning and removing the rib bones for a perfect, bone-free fillet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which series should I choose? The Blue Teflon or Green German Steel?
For the ultimate in corrosion resistance and easy, non-stick filleting, the Blue Teflon series is fantastic. For anglers who prioritise a premium, long-lasting cutting edge and professional-grade feel, the Green German Steel series is the superior choice.
Do I really need three different knives?
Yes, for the best results. Using the right size knife for the fish makes the job safer and cleaner. The 7" is for precision, the 8" is your all-purpose workhorse, and the 9" boning knife has the strength for tougher jobs like cutting through rib cages or steaking.
How often should I use the sharpener?
For best results, give your blade a few quick swipes with the sharpener before each filleting session. A sharp knife is a safe knife and makes the job infinitely easier.
