Opinel’s Slim Series Folding Fillet Knives are a highly practical option for the on the go angler seeking a particularly portable fillet knife.
There are a number of different length blades available through this link, but the No15 is the most suitable for filleting fish coming in with a 6-inch blade. All models are built with narrow and flexible Sandvik stainless steel blades that are praised for their easy maintenance and impressive cutting edge.
The neatest feature of these knives is of course the fact that they can be folded, and locked into place. This makes the total length of the No15 just 6 inches, so you can slip it right in your pocket! The knife is furthermore less than 3 ounces, making it a feather-light option!
The sleek wooden knife handles are built and treated to last a lifetime, while sporting a downright handsome aesthetic. There are even a few different options to choose from for each model.
You won’t be able to clean bigger fish with this 6-inch blade as effectively as slightly longer knives, but it’s a great little companion for cleaning species like panfish, trout, and bass.
All in all, Opinel builds lifetime knives that are both attractive and effective – the No15 being the ideal freshwater fillet knife option.
