We’ve seen a strong increase in our readers putting some real time into taking advantage of the ‘nearshore’ bluefin fishery that’s been exploding over the past several seasons. Changes in forage have drawn the tuna closer to shore, setting up incredible opportunities for inshore anglers up and down the east coast. The big draw with bluefin is twofold; nothing battles like a bluefin, but also nothing is as prized as their sushi-grade flesh.
When you make the decision to harvest a tuna, you want to be sure that you have a knife that’s up to the task of processing the fish! That’s where the Dextreme 10-inch Tiger Edge Scalloped Fillet knife (DX10TE) comes into play. Dexter is known for quality and their knives are the odds-on favorite for professional fish processors and fishermen, alike. This knife features Dexter’s Tiger Edge blade on a stiff blank, giving it the grit to cut through anything from scales, to gill plates to bones. But that scalloped blade is also fine enough to fillet without tearing, making it a true dual-purpose fillet knife.
Like all Dextreme knives, the 10-inch Scalloped Fillet Knife features their Dex-Grip, comfort-first, ambidextrous handle, providing an ergonomic experience with the no-slip grip and comfort needed to go the distance. These USA-made knives also come with a plastic sheath and are crafted from Dexsteel, a proprietary blend of carbon and stainless steel which is known for holding its edge and for long-standing durability. The 10-inch Dextreme Scalloped Fillet Knife is highlighted at their premier big game fillet knife, perfect for large species like tuna, swordfish and cobia.
This knife retails for $55.99 and can be found anywhere Dexter knives are sold, or online at www.dexteroutdoors.com.
