Fillet Knife TOGO by Buck Knives 145 — flexible blade for saltwater filleting

The Fillet Knife TOGO by Buck Knives 145 is a purpose-built flexible fillet knife designed for saltwater use. Its thin, flexible blade allows for precise cuts close to bones and under skin, improving yield and giving neat portions. The construction emphasizes corrosion resistance and handling suitable for working on boats, docks, or shorelines where exposure to saltwater is expected.

Advantages

This fillet knife combines blade flexibility with materials and finishes selected to resist saltwater corrosion. The narrow profile and flexibility enable controlled slicing and easy maneuvering along fish contours. The handle shape provides a secure grip for repetitive filleting tasks, and the overall design keeps the tool balanced for steady cutting without excessive force.

Suitable for

• Filleting saltwater fish on boats or at shore
• Precision portioning and skinning of medium to large fish
• Use by anglers, deckhands, and fish processors requiring a corrosion-resistant fillet knife

Key specifications

• Blade type: flexible fillet blade for close, precise cuts
• Intended environment: saltwater-safe design and finishes
• Use case: manual filleting, skinning, and portioning
• Handle: ergonomically shaped for secure grip during wet conditions

How to use

Hold the knife with a firm, comfortable grip and position the fish on a stable surface. Use the flexible blade to make smooth, continuous strokes following the contours of the fish and keeping the blade tight to the bones for maximum yield. Adjust angle and pressure progressively as you work from head to tail, using the blade flexibility to move around curves and joints. Rinse the blade regularly during use to remove scales and residue, and wipe dry after cleaning.

Usage recommendations

After each use, rinse the knife thoroughly in fresh water, dry it completely, and apply light corrosion protection appropriate for saltwater knives. Store the knife in a dry sheath or holder to prevent blade damage and maintain edge condition. For safety, keep the blade sharp and handle with care when cleaning or transporting.
