The Old Timer Trail Boss Fillet Knife is built for precision, flexibility, and no-nonsense performance whether you’re working in the kitchen or by the water’s edge. With its 5.2-inch stainless steel blade, grippy handle, and slim profile, it’s the kind of tool that makes filleting fish, trimming meats, or prepping delicate ingredients feel effortless. Designed for anyone who values quality in a blade—whether you're cooking indoors or cleaning your catch outdoors—this knife is ready to handle it all with confidence.
The satin-finished fillet blade is crafted from durable stainless steel, offering a razor-sharp edge that glides smoothly through flesh and skin without tearing or snagging. Its narrow, flexible profile is purpose-built for making clean, efficient cuts along bones and through fine tissues. From trout on the trail to tilapia in the kitchen, this blade delivers precise results every time. At 5.2 inches, it strikes a perfect balance—not too long, not too short—giving you the control you need without sacrificing reach.
The full tang construction adds strength and stability to every slice, reinforcing the blade with a solid backbone from tip to handle. That kind of structure makes a difference when you're dealing with slippery surfaces or applying pressure during longer cuts. You’ll appreciate the way it handles in your hand—confident, nimble, and incredibly easy to maneuver.
Comfort is key when you’re using a fillet knife, and the Trail Boss doesn’t disappoint. Its black and gray TPE handle is molded for a secure, ergonomic grip that won’t slip, even when wet. Whether you're filleting by a stream or prepping dinner at home, the handle offers just the right mix of softness and structure to reduce fatigue while giving you maximum control.
Weighing in at only 3.2 ounces and measuring 10.5 inches overall, this knife is lightweight and easy to pack, carry, or stow in a drawer or gear bag. The included black blade cover keeps the edge protected and your hands safe when not in use. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference—especially for those who like to travel with their tools or keep things organized in the kitchen.
The Old Timer Trail Boss Fillet Knife is made for anyone who loves good food, clean cuts, and gear that works as hard as they do. It’s just as comfortable processing a stringer of panfish on a boat dock as it is portioning salmon filets in a home kitchen. Tough enough for the wild, refined enough for the cutting board.
