Gerber Gator 6” Fillet Knife

Ready to handle freshwater fish as well as smaller saltwater species, the 6” fillet knife in this workhorse line turns a clip-point blade into precise, repeatable penetration. Balanced by a Gator Grip-clad handle, Active Junky favors the fillet knife for its agility, consistent cutting and incredible, under-$15 value. Really. This one’s a shocker as the 11.1”-long knife musters 420HC stainless steel in a full-tang design that won’t back down, bend or easily break. Between the smooth blade and synthetic sheath, clean-up is nearly instant. And the V-shaped ceramic sharpener tucked in the cover’s bottom means staying sharper – and safer – is easy. Go for longer versions if this doesn’t fit, but testers recommend the 6” model for double-duty in seafood prep at home or while camping. In case they’re not biting today.
