This long (200mm) thin filleting blade is loved by chefs who deal with a lot of fish in their kitchens, as it flexes to give you great control and retains its efficient cutting edge so well.

The flex was designed by a 2 Michelin starred chef so that you do not loose control when filleting. This slender blade is easily maneuverable and is paired with a slender handle for ease of use.

I.O. Shen knives offer a unique blend of Japanese and Western sensibilities, setting them apart from the traditional Japanese knife. Sure, their Triplex Steel Technology is a marvel, but the design elevates them to another level.

A Western Touch:

Most Japanese knives are known for their lightweight build and handles crafted from metal, bamboo, or wood. I.O. Shen takes a different approach, incorporating a distinctly Western influence. Their handles boast a satisfying weight, akin to a classic German knife, perfectly complementing the razor-sharp, 15° angled Japanese steel blade.

Beauty Meets Balance:

The artistry doesn’t stop at functionality. I.O. Shen handles feature the captivating Tai Tang pattern, adding a touch of elegance to your culinary arsenal. No wonder renowned Chef Felice Tocchini describes using these knives as “…like working with a piece of art.”

A Modern Classic:

Launched in 2004, I.O. Shen Mastergrade knives have become a favourite among professional chefs and home cooks alike. Their combination of innovative technology, superior craftsmanship, and stunning design makes them a true standout in the world of cutlery.
