Product Information
Full details
The Dick Pro Dynamic 17.8cm Flexible Fillet Knife is designed for professional chefs and home cooks who prioritize precision when preparing fish or delicate meats. Its primary benefit is a highly flexible, razor-sharp German stainless steel blade that allows for clean, seamless skin removal and precise boning. While it excels at filleting, the specialized flexibility of the blade means it is not intended for heavy-duty tasks like chopping through bone or dense root vegetables, which could damage the thin steel.

Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull during use
The edge may have rolled slightly during use; use a high-quality honing steel to realign the edge.
Surface stains or spots appear on the blade
High-grade stainless steel can develop surface oxidation if left wet. Scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge and dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the knife comes factory-sharpened, it is ready for immediate use upon arrival. To ensure longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Hand Wash Only: Always wash the knife by hand using warm water and mild detergent. Do not place it in a dishwasher, as high heat and harsh chemicals can degrade the handle-to-blade seal.
- Storage: Store the knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or with a protective blade guard to prevent the flexible tip from becoming bent.
- Honing: Maintain the edge by using a fine-grit honing steel at a 15-20 degree angle before each session.
- Cutting Surfaces: Use only wooden, bamboo, or soft plastic cutting boards. Avoid glass, granite, or metal surfaces, which will dull the steel instantly.
