The Backbone – 7" Fillet Knife

The Fillet blade that does your catch justice.
You worked hard for that fish – now fillet it like it deserves. The Backbone is the knife every serious fisherman needs in hand once the reel’s in. With a narrow, flexible Damascus steel blade, it glides along the bones and leaves no meat behind. It’s built to slice clean, fast, and smooth – every single time.
No slips. No tearing. No struggle. Just precision, power, and total control.
What it’s made for:
Filleting fish of all sizes – especially when you want a perfect, boneless result with zero waste. Ideal for boatside cleanup or backyard prep before the grill.
Why it’s better:
- 
🔪 67-layer Damascus steel – razor sharp, durable, corrosion-resistant
 - 
🧠 Flexible tip, thick spine – glides with accuracy, doesn’t buckle under pressure
 - 
🤜 Full tang blade + oak handle – rock-solid feel, no breakage or cheap joints
 - 
✊ Non-slip ergonomic grip – even when wet, you stay in full control
 - 
🧼 Stonewashed titanium finish – keeps it looking badass, hides scratches
 - 
⏱️ Edge holds for months – less time sharpening, more time cooking
