The most important part of a fillet knife is the blade and that's why Gerber have chosen to use 9Cr18MoV steel. Its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance make it the ideal choice for use in wet conditions. The full tang blade gives you more strength while Gerber's HydroTread grip with finger choil and guide fins lets you push it to the limit with confidence. The innovative sheath does more than just hold the blade, vents release any water and the built in sharpener helps your blade perform at its best.
