The Dexter Russell 8” Sani-Safe Wide Fillet Knife is a professional-grade kitchen tool designed for precision, durability, and everyday performance. For anyone who takes cooking seriously—whether at home or in a commercial kitchen—this knife brings together American craftsmanship and thoughtful design to deliver a blade you can depend on meal after meal.
At the heart of this knife is its plain edge 8-inch fillet blade, forged from Dexsteel, Dexter Russell’s proprietary high-carbon, high-alloy stainless steel. Known for its fine grain structure and superior edge retention, Dexsteel ensures that each cut is smooth, clean, and consistent. The wide fillet profile adds versatility, making it equally capable of gliding through delicate fish fillets or tackling thicker cuts of meat with control. Engineered to resist staining and corrosion, this blade holds up to the rigors of daily kitchen use while still being easy to sharpen and maintain.
The hidden tang construction keeps the knife lightweight without sacrificing strength. At just 5.28 ounces, it feels agile in the hand and reduces fatigue during extended use, yet it remains sturdy enough to handle demanding tasks. Measuring 13 inches overall, it provides a confident reach and balance, giving you the precision you need whether you’re portioning salmon, trimming chicken, or breaking down large cuts of beef.
The handle is crafted from durable white polypropylene, a material chosen for its resilience, hygiene, and comfort. Designed with the busy cook in mind, it offers a secure, slip-resistant grip even in wet or greasy conditions, helping you maintain control when precision matters most. Its simple, clean design also makes it easy to sanitize, which is why Dexter Russell knives have long been a favorite in both professional kitchens and home environments where safety and cleanliness are priorities.
Proudly made in the USA, the Dexter Russell 8” Sani-Safe Wide Fillet Knife embodies over two centuries of American knife-making tradition. Dexter Russell has built a reputation for crafting knives that professionals trust, and this model is no exception. Every detail is carefully considered to deliver a blade that performs flawlessly day after day.
