The Elk Ridge Trek Fillet Fixed Blade Knife is built for anglers who want a reliable, no-nonsense tool that stays steady through long days on the water. This 12-inch overall fillet knife is designed with a 7-inch satin-finish 5Cr15MoV stainless blade that’s flexible enough for clean, precise filleting while still holding up to repeated use. The satin finish helps reduce glare and gives the blade a smooth, professional look that’s easy to maintain after a long day.
The blade’s full, extended tang adds strength and balance, so the knife feels solid in your hand rather than flexing or twisting when you’re working through tough cuts. The orange nylon handle with a black rubber overmold gives you a secure grip even when your hands are wet or slippery. The overmold adds a layer of comfort and control, and the bright orange color makes the knife easy to spot if it gets set down on a boat deck or shoreline. A lanyard hole adds another carrying option, letting you tether the knife to your gear to prevent accidental loss.
This fillet knife also comes with a black nylon belt sheath that keeps it protected and easy to carry. The sheath includes an integrated sharpener, so you can quickly touch up the edge when you need it without hunting for tools or heading back to shore. It’s a practical feature that keeps the knife ready for action whenever you are.
