Sea Striker 9 Inch Fillet Knife for Bigger Fish
The Sea Striker 9 Inch Fillet Knife brings the same ceramic-coated G4116 blade as the 7-inch model, with extra length for bigger fish. If you regularly clean redfish, stripers, mahi, or other mid-size to large species, the 9-inch blade makes the job faster and cleaner. Full-length fillet strokes from head to tail, fewer passes, better yield. Also available in the 7-inch version for smaller species.
- Ceramic-coated G4116 stainless steel blade
- 9-inch reach for larger fish species
- Moderately flexible with progressive taper
- Non-slip handle with thumb rest and guard
- Fitted sheath included for safe storage
The Extra Reach You Need for Bigger Fish
Trying to fillet a big redfish or striper with a short blade means multiple passes, ragged cuts, and wasted meat. The 9-inch Sea Striker gives you the reach to make full-length strokes from head to tail in one pass. The ceramic-coated G4116 blade slides through flesh with minimal drag, and the progressive taper keeps you tight to the bone for maximum yield.
At $27.99, you get a blade that performs like knives costing two or three times as much. The non-slip handle with thumb rest and finger guard keeps your grip solid when hands are wet and covered in scales. A longer blade generates more leverage, so the stability features on this handle matter even more than on the smaller model.

Ceramic-Coated G4116 Blade
G4116 German stainless steel holds a sharp edge and resists saltwater corrosion. The ceramic coating cuts friction so the blade glides through fish instead of dragging. You notice the difference most on longer cuts where a standard blade would bind up.
9-Inch Reach
The extra two inches over a 7-inch blade make a real difference on larger fish. Full-length fillet strokes from head to tail, fewer passes, cleaner results. If you fish offshore or target big inshore species, the 9-inch is the right tool.
Non-Slip Safety Handle
The ergonomic handle with thumb rest and finger guard keeps your grip secure when hands are wet and slippery. A longer blade generates more torque, so the stability features on this handle matter even more than on the smaller model.
How to Fillet Fish with the Sea Striker 9 Inch Knife
1. Rinse the fish and lay it flat on a sturdy cutting board
2. Cut behind the gills and pectoral fin down to the backbone
3. Turn the blade flat and make one long stroke along the backbone from head to tail
4. Peel the fillet back and trim the rib bones with short, controlled cuts
5. Flip the fillet skin-side down and slide the blade between flesh and skin
6. Rinse fillets and blade with clean water, then dry and sheath the knife

What fish is the 9-inch blade best for? +
Redfish, striped bass, mahi, cobia, snapper, and other mid-size to large species. The extra blade length lets you make full fillet strokes on fish over 5 lbs. Check our mahi fishing guide for catch-to-table tips.
How does this compare to the 7-inch model? +
Same blade steel, same ceramic coating, same handle design. The 7-inch is better for smaller species and precise work. The 9-inch gives you more reach for bigger fish. Many anglers carry both.
What is the ceramic coating for? +
The ceramic coating reduces friction between the blade and fish flesh. Less drag means smoother, cleaner cuts with less effort. It also adds corrosion protection on top of the stainless steel. Browse our bottom fishing guide for more gear recommendations.
Can I use this for saltwater and freshwater fish? +
Yes. The G4116 stainless steel and ceramic coating handle both environments. Rinse and dry after each use regardless. The 9-inch blade works equally well on large bass, walleye, catfish, or any freshwater species. See our offshore trolling guide for more saltwater essentials.
Does it include a sheath? +
Yes. A fitted sheath is included for safe storage. Always sheath the blade when not in use, especially around a boat or cleaning station. Browse our 7-inch fillet knife if you need a second blade for smaller fish.
How do I maintain the edge? +
Use a fine-grit whetstone or ceramic sharpening rod. G4116 steel responds well to honing. Avoid electric grinders. Hand wash, dry thoroughly, and store in the sheath. A sharp knife is safer than a dull one. Check our bottom fishing guide for more tool care info.
