I already own a Swedish Mora filleting knife, and now I've bought a Cold Steel. The Mora has a noticeably smaller handle than the Cold Steel. On the other hand, the CS blade is a bit thinner, which gives it more flexibility when filleting. The CS handle is made of a very porous material, so you can grip the knife securely even with a wet or greasy hand. The only downside is the sheath, which is a bit too wide—it could be slimmer to take up less space in the kitchen cabinet. Despite this minor flaw, I think the 5 stars are fully deserved.
A reliable and adaptable tool, this kitchen knife is a must-have in any culinary environment. The handle has an ergonomic design crafted from tough Zy-Ex plastic, featuring a non-slip, food-safe texture made with Kray-Ex material.
The blade, constructed from German 4116 Krupp stainless steel, undergoes a freeze-thaw treatment following hardening, enhancing its hardness and alleviating inherent stress in the steel. It is robust, flexible, and can be easily resharpened.
The Fillet variant is purpose-built for slicing meat.
Equipped with a simple Secure-Ex plastic sheath.

Great knife, very useful in the kitchen. Made from good steel. It's a bit more comfortable than the 8-inch model. I use both and am very satisfied.
