The knife is compatible with the separately sold EKA Butcher 20–30 cm sheath. It is advisable to check the exact contents of the delivery set with the seller before purchasing. Frequently Asked Questions Does 22 cm refer to the blade length? Yes. 22 cm is the rounded nominal blade length. The manufacturer's specified exact blade length is 218 mm and the total knife length is 365 mm. Is the blade of this knife flexible? The blade is semi-flexible. It follows the shape of the fish or meat during filleting but provides slightly more control and stability compared to a fully flexible blade. What size fish is this knife suitable for? The 22 cm blade is well suited for processing medium and large fish. For small fish, an 18 cm fillet knife may be more manageable, while for very large salmon and long fillets, the 27 cm Ham/Salmon model is more convenient. Can the knife be used to remove fish skin? Yes. The thin and semi-flexible blade is suitable for skinning when the fillet is placed on a stable cutting board and the blade is moved at a slight angle to the skin. Is the knife suitable for chopping bones? No. The 1.3 mm thick fillet blade is not intended for chopping bones, frozen food, or other hard materials. For this, a stronger butcher's knife, saw, or cleaver should be used. Can the EKA fillet knife be washed in a dishwasher? According to the manufacturer, the knife is dishwasher safe, but to maintain its lifespan and sharpness, hand washing is recommended. After washing, the blade should be dried immediately. Are Sandvik 12C27 and Alleima 12C27 different steels? Alleima is the current name of the Swedish steel manufacturing company with the same background. In EKA's newer product information, the name Alleima 12C27 is used, while in older descriptions the same steel may be found under the name Sandvik 12C27. Which sheath fits this model? According to the manufacturer, the EKA Butcher Plastic Sheath 20–30 cm fits this knife. The sheath must be purchased separately. When is the EKA 22 cm fillet knife the right choice? This model is a universal choice for anglers or hunters processing fish and meat of various sizes. The 218 mm blade is long enough for smooth cuts, yet remains more manageable than the especially long Ham/Salmon model. The semi-flexibility provides a good balance between blade conformity and control. For small perch or other smaller fish, an 18 cm knife may be more precise. For cutting large salmon, ham, and especially long fillets, the EKA Ham/Salmon 27 cm is more efficient. For processing bones and frozen food, a thicker and more rigid blade tool should be chosen. Expert recommendation The 22 cm fillet knife is a good universal size if you do not want a separate knife for every fish size. The semi-flexible blade allows you to work along bones and remove skin, but does not bend as easily as an especially thin fillet blade. This makes the knife also suitable for cleaning game meat and removing membranes. When filleting, use a long, drawing cut and let the blade do the work. Strong sawing or twisting the blade sideways will make the cut uneven and may damage the thin blade. Wash the knife immediately after use with warm water and mild detergent and dry thoroughly. Although the manufacturer allows machine washing, the blade will stay sharp longer if washed by hand. For blade maintenance, a fine honing rod is suitable; for more significant dulling, use a sharpener with a controlled angle. For transport and safe storage, I recommend choosing the EKA Butcher 20–30 cm sheath. Universal fillet knife for processing fish and meat The EKA Orange 22 cm combines a thin, semi-flexible 12C27 steel blade, low weight, and a secure Santoprene handle. It is a practical tool for anglers, hunters, or cooks who want to fillet cleanly, precisely, and without excessive force.
