Narihira Basis Fillet Knife – precise filleting with a sharp edge
The Narihira Basis Fillet Knife with a 29 cm blade is an affordable Japanese quality knife that gives you precise filleting at a competitive price. This fillet knife is made from hard steel with a hardness of 59 HRC and features a comfortable light wood handle that ensures a secure grip during work.
Ideal for filleting fish, cutting meat, and other precision-demanding tasks in the kitchen.
Japanese quality for everyday use
The Narihira range is Tojiro's economy knife line, produced under licence. The knives are manufactured in the East and undergo final quality control in Japan, ensuring a high-quality product at an attractive price. Although the steel is not quite as hard as in Tojiro's more expensive ranges, you still get a knife with outstanding cutting performance. The main advantage is that the knife is easier to maintain with an ordinary honing steel compared to harder Japanese knives.
Practical advantages for everyday use
Weighing just 230 grams, this fillet knife sits comfortably in the hand without becoming too heavy during extended use. The 29 cm blade gives you the reach needed to fillet larger fish or cut larger pieces of meat in one smooth motion. The hard steel at 59 HRC provides an excellent balance between sharpness and durability. The light wood handle ensures a comfortable and secure grip, even with wet hands.
Maintenance and care
To preserve the knife's sharp edge for as long as possible, wash it by hand after use and dry it thoroughly. Never use the dishwasher, as this can damage both the blade and the handle. Regular maintenance with a honing steel is recommended to keep the edge sharp. As the knife gradually dulls over time, it can be resharpened again and again, making it a long-term investment for your kitchen.
