Salmon knife: what's it for?

Salmon knife features

The salmon knife has a long, narrow, flexible blade. It is suitable for everyday professional use. It can also be used to prepare fish dishes at home.

Salmon knives generally have a 30 cm blade. This length, combined with the flexibility of the blade, enables you to slice raw, cooked or smoked salmon with great precision. It is capable of cutting large, thin, even slices in a single movement, without the need to saw through the food.

What's more, the blade ends in a rounded tip, enabling you to lift your fish fillets without damaging the flesh. The blade is equipped with air bubbles. These prevent slices from sticking to the knife, for fast, comfortable work.

Although originally designed for slicing fish, the salmon knife can also be used to cut meats, such as smoked ham.

Using the salmon knife

The salmon knife 's long, flexible blade is equally suited to slicing fish and large meats. You can use it for :

- lifting fish fillets, e.g. salmon

- Slicing fish with finesse and precision (e.g. smoked salmon)

- Cutting large slices of raw, cooked or smoked ham

- Cut raw or cooked meats, such as roasts

Like all knives, salmon knives need to be sharpened to maintain their cutting edge. To achieve this, you can sharpen it regularly with a whetstone or sharpening steel. In addition, always use a cutting board to preserve the edge of the blade for longer.
