Product Information
Full details
The Victorinox Fibrox Filleting Knife is designed for home cooks and culinary professionals who require precision when preparing delicate proteins like fish, poultry, and meat. Its primary benefit is the combination of an ice-tempered, razor-sharp edge with a highly ergonomic, non-slip handle that ensures safety during intricate cutting tasks. While it excels at filleting and trimming, users should note that the thin blade is specialized for precision rather than heavy-duty tasks like deboning thick, dense joints.

FAQs
Can I use this knife on frozen food?
No. The blade is thin and specifically designed for precision work; using it on frozen food can cause the blade to chip or bend.
Is the handle heat resistant?
The Fibrox handle is durable and heat resistant, suitable for standard kitchen environments.
How often should I sharpen it?
Frequency depends on use, but regular honing before every session and occasional professional sharpening or whetstone maintenance will keep it in peak condition.
What is the benefit of the 15.2cm length?
This length provides the perfect balance of control and reach for medium-sized filleting tasks without being cumbersome.
Does it come with a protective sheath?
No, it does not include a sheath, so it is best stored in a block, roll, or on a magnetic rack.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull after extensive use
Use a honing steel to realign the edge or a fine-grit whetstone to restore the factory sharpness.
Handle feels slightly slippery
Ensure the handle is free of residue or oil by washing with mild dish soap and drying thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This knife requires no complex setup; it arrives sharp and ready for immediate use. While the blade is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to prolong the longevity of the edge sharpness and prevent potential dulling caused by contact with other utensils in a dishwasher rack. To sharpen, utilize a fine honing steel or a whetstone periodically to realign the edge. Store the knife in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge from colliding with other metal tools, which can cause micro-chipping.
