A Sharp Blade That Does Not Cost a Fortune
A dull, cheap fillet knife wastes meat and makes cleaning fish a chore. The Sea Striker 7 Inch solves both problems. The ceramic coating on the G4116 stainless blade reduces friction so the knife slides through flesh cleanly. The progressive taper lets you work close to the bone for maximum yield. At $27.89, you get the performance of a premium fillet knife without the premium price.
Keep it on the boat, in the truck, or at the cleaning station. The fitted sheath protects the blade and your gear bag. Hand wash, dry, and sheath after each use and this knife will last for years of fish cleaning.

Ceramic-Coated G4116 Blade
G4116 stainless steel holds an edge well and resists corrosion. The ceramic coating adds a slick surface that reduces drag through fish flesh. Less resistance means cleaner cuts and less effort, especially when you have a full cooler to process.
Moderately Flexible Blade
The 7-inch blade flexes enough to follow the contours of the fish without being so soft that it loses control. Progressive taper from spine to tip gives you the precision to work around rib cages and pin bones on smaller species.
Non-Slip Safety Handle
The ergonomic handle includes a thumb rest for stability and a finger guard to prevent your hand from sliding onto the blade. When your hands are covered in fish slime, these features are not optional - they are safety essentials.
How to Fillet Fish with the Sea Striker 7 Inch Knife
1. Rinse the fish and lay it flat on a clean cutting board
2. Make a cut behind the gills down to the backbone
3. Turn the blade flat against the backbone and slice toward the tail in one smooth stroke
4. Flip the fillet skin-side down and slide the blade between the flesh and skin
5. Trim any rib bones with short, careful cuts
6. Rinse the blade and fillets with clean water, then dry and sheath the knife

What size fish is the 7-inch blade good for? +
The 7-inch blade handles panfish, flounder, trout, small drum, and most inshore species up to about 5 lbs. For larger fish like big redfish, cobia, or offshore species, step up to the 9-inch version.
What is G4116 stainless steel? +
G4116 is a German stainless steel commonly used in quality kitchen and fillet knives. It holds an edge well, resists rust, and resharpens easily. The ceramic coating on this blade adds friction reduction for smoother cuts. See our bottom fishing guide for more gear recommendations.
Does the ceramic coating wear off? +
With normal use and proper care, the coating lasts a long time. Avoid cutting on hard surfaces like glass or metal. Use a plastic or wood cutting board and hand wash after each use. Our bottom fishing guide covers care basics for fishing tools.
Can I sharpen this knife at home? +
Yes. Use a fine-grit whetstone or a ceramic rod sharpener. The G4116 steel responds well to honing and holds its edge through a full cleaning session. Avoid electric grinders that can overheat the blade. Check our 9-inch fillet knife if you need a second blade for bigger fish.
Does it come with a sheath? +
Yes. A fitted sheath is included for safe storage and transport. Always sheath the blade when not in use, especially in a tackle bag or on a boat where bare blades are a hazard. Browse our offshore trolling guide for more essential gear info.
How does this compare to the 9-inch model? +
The 7-inch is better for smaller species and tight work around bones. The 9-inch model gives you more blade for larger fish and longer fillet strokes. Many anglers keep both sizes on hand.
