Each comes with its own leather sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a fillet knife and a boning knife?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fillet knife has a long, thin, flexible blade designed to glide along the bones of a fish and separate the flesh. A boning knife has a shorter, stiffer, more controllable blade for cutting around bone and separating joints in meat. This set gives you both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 440C stainless steel good for fillet and boning knives?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 440C is a high-carbon stainless steel that takes a sharp edge and, importantly, resists rust and corrosion. That makes it an excellent choice for knives that spend their time around water, fish, and raw meat, since it needs far less maintenance than carbon steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these knives rust?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e440C stainless steel is highly rust-resistant, so these blades hold up well to wet, messy conditions. A quick rinse and dry after each use keeps them in top shape, with none of the careful oiling a carbon steel blade requires. If you prefer a forged carbon Damascus blade instead, see our single Damascus fillet knives, which offer the layered pattern with a bit more upkeep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow hard are the blades?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth blades are hardened to 57 to 60 HRC, which balances good edge retention with enough toughness for the flexing and bone work these knives are built to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the knives full tang?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Both the fillet and boning knives are full tang, meaning the steel runs the full length of the handle for strength and balance — important for knives that take real, repeated use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the fillet knife blade flexible?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 13-inch fillet knife has the slim, flexible blade that defines a true fillet knife, letting it follow the contours of a fish to separate flesh from bone cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo both knives come with sheaths?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
