How flexible is the fillet knife?

The flexibility of a fillet knife is very important to me. To easily fillet the skin off the fish properly, the blade must be able to somewhat flex so that the blade is fully flush to the table otherwise it can be hard to start the fillet or to properly fillet the meat off without wasting meat. Another very important aspect of the knife is the tip, how well it holds an edge and can pierce for starting the cut along the backbone. I'd love to see a case for the knife available if there is one. A fillet knife should not have the rigidity of a boning knife, otherwise no matter how well it holds an edge it is poorly designed-670860

The Zwilling Pro fillet knife is incredibly flexible. As a matter of fact, I brought it to my desk so I could test the flexibility myself. If you are looking for a knife with a sharp edge and that can flex enough to to be fully flush with your table while filleting, this knife is the way to go
