This is our first product co-designed by TOG and Britain's top seafood chef Nathan Outlaw.  We worked together coming up with ideas, making and testing prototypes and refining the design until we had what we believe is the best filleting knife on the market.

Flexible filleting knives are not used in Japan and so in Japan, this knife has no name. We have called it 'Sakana' which is simply Japanese for 'fish'.

Pre-order the Sakana before the end of October and receive a FREE, signed copy of Nathan’s new book ‘Fish for Dinner’. This contains detailed guidance on fish filleting as well as 70 of Nathan's best seafood recipes.

KEBONY MAPLE ENGRAVED HANDLE

Nathan Outlaw created the unique ‘fish scales’ design on the handle of the Sakana. This is a clever inversion of TOG’s normal ‘wave’ pattern that references the function of the knife.

The Sakana also features a unique, longer handle with a hooked end. This is designed to be held sideways and allow you to apply pressure on the bolster with your thumb.

AUS 8 SINGLE LAYER STEEL

Unlike other knives, a Western filleting knife needs to bend during use. TOG's normal layered steels with copper do not allow this, so we have used highest quality AUS 8 Japanese steel to give us the required balance of springiness, sharpness and toughness.

Handmade in Seki

Samurai swords have been made in Seki for 800 years. Now the best kitchen knives in the world are produced there. Eight craftsmen are needed to make a Samurai sword, each a specialist in one part of the process. That is how to achieve the absolute best quality. At TOG we follow the same philosophy. Our blades are passed between eight tiny, specialised companies in Seki. Each knife is unique. We number each blade in celebration of these differences.

"Honestly, I’ve never handled a filleting knife as perfect as this. Together we set out to design the ultimate filleting knife, and with my 30 years of fish filleting experience and TOG’s design, passion and ambition, I personally think we have cracked it.”"
