Why this fillet knive earns its place
A fillet knife isn't just a thinner blade — it's a distinct tool with its own geometry. The Mac SO-70 is built specifically for the work: producing clean, straight cuts through delicate white fish without tearing flesh or snagging on bones. The 17.5cm length is deliberate — long enough to fillet whole fish in two or three strokes, short enough to keep fingertip control through the backbone.
The blade is stamped stainless steel, honed to that sharp, precise edge sole and flounder need. At 294g, this knife has real weight without being unwieldy — weight that lets the blade cut rather than requiring you to force it. It's designed for speed: skilled fishmongers and seafood prep cooks can fillet three or four whole fish before reaching for the steel.
Mac's Japanese heritage is unmissable here. Made in Japan with skilled craftsmen still involved in the process, every detail serves the work. The ultra-comfortable handle lets you work for hours. Hand wash only, 1-year warranty — built to last through years of daily use.
