Fillet knife

A fillet knife is similar to a boning knife, but it has a longer and slightly narrower blade, and is used almost exclusively on fish. When the word fillet is used with meat, it’s used as a noun. But when it’s used with fish, it’s both a noun (“fillet of fish”) and a verb (“fillet that fish”). No one ever says, “fillet that cow.”

The mother is she who catches the knife by the blade.	French proverb

Langenhoven

God created the world just like a knife and left it up to us to take it by the handle or the blade.

Charles Buxton

The rule in carving holds good as to criticism; never cut with a knife what you can cut with a spoon.
