The Dress Filet Knife Kit Series is designed for craftsmen who appreciate the elegance of a traditional filet knife combined with the satisfaction of building it themselves. Featuring a sleek, slender profile and excellent balance, the Dress Filet is equally at home in the kitchen, at the cleaning table, or displayed as a custom handmade piece.
With its long 6.125 inch blade and 11.50 inch overall length, the Dress Filet delivers the reach and control needed for precise slicing and detailed cutting tasks. The narrow blade profile and thin stock provide excellent maneuverability, making it an ideal platform for creating a high-performance filet knife with custom handle materials and finishes.
This is the USA Damascus configuration, forged from 416 layers of premium carbon steels folded five times for a beautiful, distinctive pattern, and heat treated to 56-58 RC. Each blade is precision hollow-ground on both sides and arrives ready for assembly. The full tang design includes two 0.156 inch handle holes and one 0.187 inch hole for a secure handle foundation, and stainless steel pinstock is included.
Choose a blade-only configuration for complete customization, or a combo kit that adds premium hardwood handle scales: Bubinga, Canarywood, Curly Maple, Lacewood, Mahogany, Purpleheart, Walnut, and Yellowheart. Whether you are creating a working filet knife, a custom kitchen tool, a fishing companion, or a handcrafted gift, the Dress Filet Knife Kit Series offers a timeless design and premium materials ready for your next project.
