A fillet knife is designed for removing fish flesh from bones — typically with a flexible narrow blade. This knife’s narrow pointed profile works well for both skinning and filleting tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the wavy Damascus pattern?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The wavy Damascus pattern is one of the most classic Damascus patterns — created by folding and drawing out the steel in a consistent direction, producing smooth flowing waves across the blade flat. It is a timeless pattern that highlights the layered nature of Damascus steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the decorative brass medallion on the handle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The brass medallion is a decorative inlay set into the handle — a circular brass rosette that adds a premium collector look to the knife. It is purely decorative and does not affect the structural integrity of the full tang handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does it come with a sheath?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes.
