The Messermeister Meridian Elite 8 Inch Kullenschliff Flexible Fillet Knife has a long, narrow and exceptionally flexible blade that cuts extremely close to a spine, bone or other hard surfaces. This is an excellent blade for the day-to-day demands of a commercial kitchen as well as useful for any fishing enthusiast. The alternating kullenschliffs (a.k.a. kullens, hollows or grantons) on each side of the knife reduce drag and prevent food from sticking to the blade.
Features
The blade resists stains and corrosion, exhibits toughness and durability, holds its edge retention, and is easy to re-sharpen to a razor-like edge.
This knife line is one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged, which produces the strongest blade from heel to tip. The blades are heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58.
The three-step, 15° Elite edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel, creating the sharpest possible cutting surface on an edged tool.
The bolsterless heel simplifies all cutting, sharpening and honing tasks, making use of the entire blade from heel to tip.
Handcrafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany.
The Knife for Life™ guarantee provides a lifetime warranty against material and manufacturing defects.
100% Messermeister quality
CARE
Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.

FIRST TIME WAS THIS WEEKEND FILLETING SEVERAL MAHI'S REMOVING THE SKIN FROM THE FILLET WAS EASY

I purchased this knife about a year ago to clean fish. I can't stand a dull knife, and I have yet to find a knife at a Wal-Mart or similar store that will stay sharp for long or sharpen easily.This knife is exceptionally sharp, keeps an edge well, and is relatively easy to sharpen. I didn't realize most of my fishing holes were going to go dry when I ordered this knife, but I'm glad I did. I tried to catch and clean most of the fish out of my ponds before they went to waste, and I spent 3-4 days a week last summer cleaning fish. Bluegill, crappie, and bass are all a breeze. Even large bass (7+ pounds) I would not normally have kept were easy enough. I normally sharpened a little after each use, but the knife easily handled each days catch without going dull.I was hesitant at first to spend this much on a knife. Now, I wish I had done this long ago.
