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.

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.
