These knives are one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged from a single billet of the finest German stainless steel alloy and fitted with the most durable industrial strength, ergonomic handle in the world. Meridian Elité knives are handcrafted and polished one at a time using the same techniques that have been the hallmark of fine Solingen-made cutlery that have stood the test of time. Meridian Elité knives are the authentically superior, forged and triple-riveted knives manufactured in Solingen, Germany.The Messermeister Meridian Elité 12" Kullenschliff Flexible Fillet Knife has a long, narrow and extremely flexible blade that cuts extremely close to a spine, bone or other hard surfaces. An excellent blade for the day-to-day demands of a commercial kitchen but useful for any fishing enthusiast. The alternating kullenschliffs (a.k.a. kullens, hollows or grantons) on each side of the knife reduce drag and prevent items from sticking to the blade. ## Features - The German 1.4116 high-carbon, stainless alloy blade resists stains and corrosion, exhibits toughness and durability, holds its edge retention, and is easy to re-sharpen to a razor-like edge. - This knife line is one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged, which produces the strongest blade from heel to tip. The blades are heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58. - The three-step, 15 degree “Elite” edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel, creating the sharpest possible cutting surface on an edged tool. - The bolsterless heel simplifies all cutting, sharpening & honing tasks, making use of the entire blade from heel to tip. - Handcrafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany. - The Knife for Life guarantee provides a lifetime warranty against material and manufacturing defects. ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Messermeister - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** Stainless Steel - **Blade Edge:** Plain ## Images ![Messermeister Meridian Elite Kullenschliff Flexible Fillet Knife, 12-Inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QvrY1QV-L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for cleaning fish! *by J***M on March 4, 2013* I purchased this knife about a year ago to clean fish. I can't stand a dull knife, and I have yet to find a knife at a Wal-Mart or similar store that will stay sharp for long or sharpen easily.This knife is exceptionally sharp, keeps an edge well, and is relatively easy to sharpen. I didn't realize most of my fishing holes were going to go dry when I ordered this knife, but I'm glad I did. I tried to catch and clean most of the fish out of my ponds before they went to waste, and I spent 3-4 days a week last summer cleaning fish. Bluegill, crappie, and bass are all a breeze. Even large bass (7+ pounds) I would not normally have kept were easy enough. I normally sharpened a little after each use, but the knife easily handled each days catch without going dull.I was hesitant at first to spend this much on a knife. Now, I wish I had done this long ago. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/39068428-messermeister-meridian-elite-kullenschliff-flexible-fillet-knife-12-inch](https://www.desertcart.us/products/39068428-messermeister-meridian-elite-kullenschliff-flexible-fillet-knife-12-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-19*
