The signature trailing-point blade geometry creates an upswept tip and a long, curved cutting edge optimized for the long sweeping strokes that follow a fish's spine from tail to head, separating the fillet cleanly from the ribcage in a single pass. The 9\" cutting edge delivers the reach needed to handle larger fish — salmon, large trout, and saltwater species — while the thin 0.09\" blade profile flexes along bones and under skin with minimal waste, leaving clean, presentation-ready fillets behind. At 3.7 ounces with a contoured, grippy handle and corrosion-resistant construction for saltwater and freshwater use, the 9\" Fishcrafter rides confidently on the belt for serious cleaning sessions at the cleaning table or on the boat. Paired with a molded belt sheath for safe carry and quick access, it's the kind of purpose-built blade that disappears into the work until the fillets are off.
