Izumi Ichiago - Fillet knife is designed for fine, clean cuts: lifting fillets, trimming, removing skin, and working fish with precision. Its 17 cm blade offers excellent control to follow contours without tearing the flesh, ideal for clean and consistent preparation at home or in professional kitchens.

Izumi Ichiago - Fillet knife

Made in Japan, it uses high-carbon Japanese stainless steel designed to combine corrosion resistance, hardness, and good edge retention. With a total length of 29.5 cm, a thickness of 2.0 mm, and a weight of just 168 g, the knife remains agile and comfortable for technical movements. The Tecaran handle is resistant to water and heat, ensuring a stable and smooth grip even during long preparation sessions. A signature detail: the name “Izumi Ichiago” printed in Japanese characters on the end cap, marking the Master series. Delivered in a black gift box, it also makes a perfect gift.

The fillet knife is mainly used to cleanly lift fish fillets: its thin, long, flexible blade follows the bones to separate the flesh without waste. It also allows for skin removal and precise removal of small pin bones. Finally, it can be used for delicate cuts (trimming meat, slicing very thinly), where a rigid knife would be too harsh.
