The Victorinox (formerly Forschner*) 8-inch Flexible, Narrow, Straight Blade Fillet / Boning Knife by the makers of the original Swiss Army knife features a Fibrox handle and extremely sharp blade that holds its edge. This multi-purpose fillet and boning knife is now being offered along with a protective leather belt sheath - making it the ideal tool for fishing trips and other outdoor adventures. The sheath is constructed from riveted leather, and features a belt loop and a built-in blade protector.

The patented Fibrox handle is dishwasher safe and slip resistant, even when wet. It is also NSF approved, as crevices that would offer hospitality to bacteria are minimized. As with all R.H. Forschner knives, the handle is ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension and provides a natural fit.

Forschner kitchen knives all have high carbon, stainless steel blades that are hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. Each knife is stamped from a single sheet of metal. The blade is then hardened, tempered, ground, polished, etched and finished. Victorinox uses a special tempering process to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again.
