Sarges Knives Riverwood - Folding Fillet Knife

The Sarge Knives Riverwood Folding Fillet Knife is a 13-inch compact fishing knife engineered to deliver full fillet functionality without the bulk of traditional fixed-blade designs. Built around a 5 7/8-inch 440 stainless steel blade that folds securely into a Pakkawood handle, this folding fillet knife combines the portability serious anglers demand with the blade flex and control that separate quality fillet work from amateur results.

The 440 stainless steel blade is chosen for its corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments—a critical consideration for any knife that regularly contacts fish, blood, and moisture. The extra-strong secure liner lock mechanism keeps the blade locked in the open position during active fillet work and holds it safely closed when folded. The Pakkawood handle material resists moisture absorption and provides reliable grip even with wet hands or gloved operation. This design fits a hard-molded nylon SARGE case with snap closure, allowing the knife to be stored safely in a tackle box, boat locker, or backpack without sacrificing accessibility.

Purpose-built for anglers who prioritize portability, this folding fillet knife serves freshwater and saltwater fishing operations where full-size fixed blades are impractical. The blade flex—a defining characteristic of quality fillet knives—allows precise cuts along fish spines and ribs without the rigidity that causes binding or slipping. Weighing just 0.52 lbs, the Riverwood eliminates the excuse of leaving a quality fillet knife behind due to weight or space constraints. Serious catch processing demands a knife that performs reliably in the field, and this model delivers the cutting edge control required for consistent, clean fillets.
