Price Match

The Dick Red Spirit flexible fillet knife is a professional filleting knife with an 18cm high-alloyed stainless steel blade, designed for fish butchery and portioning work in commercial kitchen environments. The blade carries enough flex to follow the contours of a fish carcass closely, reducing waste and giving the user control through the cut.

In a working kitchen, a reliable fillet knife earns its keep during prep service when speed and yield both matter. The blade's flexibility allows it to work tight against bones without tearing flesh, which is particularly useful when breaking down whole fish at volume. The high-alloyed stainless steel holds an edge well under regular use and resists the moisture and acidity that fish prep inevitably brings.

The Red Spirit handle is designed for comfort over extended prep sessions. The rounded, Asian-influenced profile sits naturally in the hand and provides a secure grip even when working wet — a practical consideration in any fish prep environment. At 160g, the knife is light enough to use with precision over a long prep shift without fatigue.

  • Flexible blade suits close-work filleting and reduces trimming waste
  • High-alloyed stainless steel resists corrosion in wet prep conditions
  • Comfortable handle profile supports extended prep sessions
  • Well suited to whole fish butchery as well as portioning work

This is a mid-length fillet knife, appropriate for most round and flat fish up to a moderate size. Kitchens regularly breaking down larger whole fish — whole salmon at scale, for instance — may find a longer blade more efficient for that specific task.

If you're building out a fish prep section or want guidance on which knife length suits your typical catch sizes, we're happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Is this knife suited to breaking down whole fish, or is it better for portioning?

It handles both reasonably well. The flex and 18cm length make it a practical choice for filleting whole fish of moderate size — sea bass, bream, trout, and similar — as well as for trimming and portioning. Kitchens regularly working with larger fish such as whole salmon may prefer a longer blade for that specific task.

How does the Red Spirit handle perform in a wet fish prep environment?

The rounded handle shape gives a comfortable grip even when hands and the knife are wet, which is a realistic condition in any fish section. It's worth drying the knife properly before storage to maintain the handle and blade in good condition over time.

How should this knife be maintained in a professional kitchen?

Regular honing before use will keep the edge in working condition between sharpenings. Hand washing and drying promptly after use is recommended — dishwasher use can blunt the edge faster and is not advised for professional knives of this type.
