Bear Forest Knives has released a small batch of its latest precision cutting tool, The Backstrap. This 10.187” long fillet knife is the perfect addition to any outdoor enthusiast’s collection and provides a unique cutting experience.
The engine behind this design is a 6-inch narrow, upward-curving blade with an ultra-sharp full flat grind. The Backstrap is crafted from high-quality, easy-to-sharpen 52100 high carbon steel, which provides exceptional edge retention properties.
The micarta handle has a finger groove that creates an integrated guard, ensuring a secure grip and reducing the risk of slipping when handling innards or blood. It comes with a black KYDEX® sheath for protection and easy carry.
Harvesting Your Hunt
Whether filleting a fish or sectioning up stew meat and veggies, this knife will get the job done precisely. Not to mention it’s great for processing those ever-so-prized elk and deer backstraps, which often require a lot of time and effort to acquire.
Why a Fillet?
A fillet knife is specialized to fillet, debone and skin fish and meat. Its long, thin, flexible blade can easily glide along the bones and separate the flesh from the skin. Some common uses of a fillet knife are:
- Filleting fish: A fillet knife can cut and skin a whole fish into clean fillets. Cut along the backbone, slide the blade under the ribs and spine to remove bones, then flip and peel off the skin by sawing the blade.
- Deboning: A fillet knife helps debone poultry, pork or beef. Cut around the joints and tendons, follow the bone’s contour to separate it from the meat and trim excess fat or sinew.
- Skinning game: Use a fillet knife to skin and trim game animals. Cut along the belly or back, peel off the skin and remove unwanted parts.
Bear Forest Knives created The Backstrap knife with the goal of making a durable and versatile tool for outdoor food preparation. The Backstrap is like a surgeon’s scalpel—precise, efficient and designed to last.
