Similar to the flexible boning knives, the fillet knife is used to prepare fish. The flexibility of the blade easily slices along the backbone and under the skin of fish.

The Kanso 6.5" Boning/Fillet Knife is a rigid knife with a razor-sharp edge and it's adept at key kitchen chores. For boning, the narrow, sharp, curved blade gets in close to the bone, making it easy to separate meat from the bone. Even fibrous tissue is no match for Shun's extremely sharp edge. It’s perfect for trimming the silver skin from a tenderloin or roast or even making your own cutlets. The narrow blade reduces the drag as you cut the meat, so cutting is fast and easy. When it comes to filleting fish, the blade's 6.5" length is just right to glide through the body of the fish, quickly removing bones and skin for a perfect fillet. The contoured tagayasan handle provides a secure grip for excellent control. Shun Kanso boning and fillet knife is part of the Shun Kanso series. Kanso is a design principle based on zen philosophy. It means “simplicity,” but simplicity is achieved by eliminating the non-essential. In Kanso, QKA/Shun took away anything that doesn’t matter and kept everything that does: high-performance steel, razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. The steel is Japanese AUS10A highly refined, high carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it longer. Kanso's Heritage finish hides scratches and gives Kanso a rustic look that just improves with age. The handle is made of a wood called tagayasan or wenge, which is sometimes known in Japan as “iron sword wood.” the handle contouring enables an easy chef's grip. Full tang construction provides strength, balance, and easy cutting control. Like all Shun knives, Kanso is sharpened to a 16° cutting angle on each side to cut cleanly and help preserve food’s freshness and best taste.

The ideal tool for preparing and carving a salmon: this Salmon Knife, with its flexible and extremely sharp blade, slides easily through fish and is particularly suitable for salmon as it allows for the cutting of wafer-thin slices. The dimples - slight depressions near the edge of the blade - create small air cushions that prevent the fish from sticking to the knife.
