The Herring Knife 4.5 cm Don Carlos from F. HERDER is a specialised tool designed for the precise gutting and deboning of herring and other small fish. With a blade length of only 4.5 cm, it is one of the most compact knives in F. HERDER's range.
The very short, straight blade is positioned directly on the handle, allowing you to guide it almost like an extension of your thumb. This design is crucial for the fast and repetitive work on fish for which this knife was developed. It is aimed at professional users and ambitious home cooks who value efficiency and precision in fish preparation.
A striking feature is the ratio of blade to handle: the long, bevelled beech wood handle is many times longer than the blade. This ensures a secure and comfortable grip, even when your fingers are wet. The blade bears the engraving Friedr. Herder Abr. Sohn, the origin designation SOLINGEN GERMANY, the Pik symbol with the lettering PIKAS, and the series lettering Don Carlos.
This herring knife comes from the Don Carlos series and is manufactured by F. HERDER in the traditional knife city of Solingen. It embodies the quality standard that has distinguished the brand since its founding in 1727.

To ensure the longevity of your herring knife, clean it carefully after each use. Wipe the blade and handle with a damp cloth and then dry thoroughly immediately. Avoid cleaning in the dishwasher, as this can damage the beechwood and dull the blade. Store your knife in a dry and protected place to prevent corrosion and damage.
The beechwood handle benefits from occasional oiling with a neutral wood care oil to maintain its natural beauty and resilience.
