Overview: Kershaw 9-inch Clearwater Fillet for Larger Fish
The Kershaw 9-inch Clearwater Fillet 1259 features a long 9-inch blade that glides through larger fish with ease and precision. One of Kershaw’s best-selling fillet knives, this blade has earned its reputation through years of dependable performance on the water. Moreover, the Japanese 420J2 stainless steel blade offers excellent corrosion resistance and toughness with just the right degree of flex to make filleting simple and effective. As a result, anglers targeting salmon, pike, and other large species trust the Clearwater Fillet as an essential tool for processing their catches.
The 420J2 stainless steel has the right amount of flex to make filleting easy while remaining highly corrosion resistant to saltwater environments and fish oils. The satin finish provides a classic, professional appearance while resisting corrosion. In addition, the co-polymer handle material provides an excellent grip with soft-yet-firm texture that makes filleting even a large catch less fatiguing. Furthermore, neon highlights in the handle make it easy to spot the knife in a marine environment or tackle box. For those needing a smaller, more versatile fillet knife, consider the Kershaw Clearwater 2 Fillet 1257.
