Victorinox Forschner 8 inch Fillet/Fishing Knife Fibrox Handle

Who is Victorinox?
Although Victorinox is known the world over as the creator of the Original Swiss Army Knife, the company started out in 1884 as a cutlery workshop. By the time company creator Karl Elsener delivered his first pocket knife to the Swiss Army, his cutlery business was already booming. Over the next century, Victorinox cutlery became a top-rated choice among professionals worldwide, with over 300 blades to offer.

Who is R.H. Forschner?
Victorinox had been a staple in European commercial cutlery for over 50 years when approached by New York’s R.H. Forschner, known since 1855 as a builder of scales for butchers, to be their sole cutlery supplier. The two companies joined forces in 1937, and R.H. Forschner subsequently became North America’s dominant professional brand, as ubiquitous in the bustling meatpacking plants of the Midwest as it is in the gleaming, four-star restaurant kitchens of Midtown Manhattan.

Fillet: Most often used by pros and seasoned home chefs, the fillet knife is used to fillet meat and fish.

Primarily used for filleting fish, a fillet knife for smaller fish is best when it is thin and flexible. This keeps waste to a minium. Wider, stiff fillet knives are used for larger fish. Fillet knives come in carbon steel, which will change to a dark color, or high carbon no stain, which will keep its original color.
