Filleting and skinning knife

Abstract

A filleting and skinning knife comprising a handle adapted to be positioned in the hand of a user. The handle has a generally longitudinal axis, and includes a front section and a rear section. An offset member is connected to the handle, and extends downwardly and below the front section of the handle. The offset member has a generally longitudinal axis which has an angular relationship to the longitudinal axis of the handle. The forward portion of the blade has the cutting edge and extends forwardly from the offset member. The blade member has a generally longitudinal axis and the forward part of this blade tapers at an angle to the rear of the blade. The rear of the blade is generally within the plane formed by the offset portion and the handle. The handle of the knife may include an electrical motor and drive linkage mechanism. The filleting knife provides a knife that is easier, safer and produces a thicker fillet.
