Brookie Filet — 5.5” AEB-L

A compact, ultra-responsive filet knife inspired by mountain streams and tight quarters.

The Brookie Filet is the nimble counterpart to the Elk River — a smaller, lighter filet knife designed for precision work on fish, game, and delicate proteins. Its tuned AEB-L blade offers predictable flex, clean slicing, and exceptional control when working in-hand or along tight seams.

Whether you’re cleaning trout by the water or breaking down smaller cuts in the kitchen, the Brookie delivers effortless handling and razor-sharp performance in a compact, confidence-boosting package.

Key Features

• 5.5” AEB-L Stainless Blade — Known for toughness, fine-grain sharpness, and clean slicing.
• Optimized Hardness (~61–62 HRC) — A sweet spot for resilient flex and long-lasting edge retention.
• Medium Flex Profile — Hand-ground thin for smooth bends and controlled tip work.
• 4” Hand-Sculpted Handle — Compact, comfortable, and shaped for precise grip and agility.
• Built for Smaller Fish & Detail Work — Ideal where accuracy matters more than reach.

Craftsmanship

The Brookie Filet is fully hand-ground with a geometry designed for predictable, deliberate flex. This allows you to trace bones, lift seams, and work around delicate structures with ease.

AEB-L has been the industry standard for filet knives for decades, prized for its:

• natural flexibility 
• forgiving heat treatment
• outstanding toughness
• incredibly fine grain
• ease of sharpening even at higher hardness levels

At ~61–62 HRC, the Brookie achieves the ideal balance of edge retention and toughness for a compact, working filet knife.

The 4” hand-sculpted handle gives the knife a light, agile feel while still offering a secure, ergonomic grip — especially useful when working close to the blade or performing detailed tip work.
