LEAD BLADE FIRST.
When we designed the Montana Knife Company™ Flathead Fillet Knife our goal was to create a knife that could do any possible task on the boat, next to the river or on the processing table.
The Flathead Fillet got its name from the Flathead River, Lake, and Valley in the far northwest corner of Montana. The Flathead lake is known for being one of the largest and deepest lakes west of the Mississippi River, with some of the largest known lake trout.
The Flathead Fillet has the perfect balance of flex and rigidity. The blade is designed to be flexible enough to work on your fresh catch on the side of the lake but rigid enough to help you process your elk or deer in your garage.
DETAILED BREAKDOWN OF FEATURES
As a cryogenically heat-treated stainless steel, MAGNACUT provides the perfect blend of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Unlike other stainless steel blades, MAGNACUT can be easily resharpened — even by novice knife owners. More wear-resistant than other stainless steels, and more corrosion-resistant than carbon steel, MAGNACUT is in a class of its own. Learn more about MAGNACUT Stainless Steel from the creator: Larrin Thomas.
Versatile Blade Shape
The Flathead Fillet has the perfect balance of flex and rigidity. The blade is designed to be flexible enough to work on your fresh catch on the side of the lake but rigid enough to help you process your elk or deer in your garage.
Bulletproof G-10 Handle
The G-10 handle scales are equally as tough as the blade. G-10 is famous for being strong, durable, and lightweight — unmatched by any natural handle material. It can withstand any abuse without cracking or breaking, won’t absorb blood, and provides excellent grip, even when wet. The contours of the handle are also designed for comfort in extended use. The G-10 scales are attached with locally sourced titanium screws and high-strength epoxy to secure the perfect, lasting fit.
EXCLUSIVE MKC OPEN CARRY SHEATH
Each Montana Knife Company™ Flathead Fillet comes with an exclusive Kydex sheath. This 2 oz, click-in locking sheath can be adjusted for either horizontal or vertical carry, left or right-hand placement, and varying blade retention. The reversible quick-attach belt clip also lets you attach the sheath without removing or unclasping your belt.

Wonderful filet knife. MKC continues deliver quality tools. I’ve used this trimming fat and slicing briskets. Great work, I’ll continue to be a loyal customer.
We are once again beyond impressed with the make and quality of our most recent MKC purchase. MKC continues to outdo themselves time and time again. Well done MKC!
What a knife.
I’ve had many fillet knives over the years, but this one takes the cake.
Very well balanced and it feels good in your hand.
Blade has a nice narrow taper and is ridiculously sharp.
The blade is also flexible enough to be workable, yet stiff enough to get through bigger fish.
God willing, this one will get put to the test in a few weeks on the Columbia.
Another fine blade from the Montana Knife Company
Very light. Just enough flexibility.
Great blade for filleting fish or working up boned out meat. Can’t wait to test it out on some inshore saltwater fish soon
