It's for the five-pack of cards.
No, they're not going to do it.
That's not possible because I'm too light. They're fantastic knives, and right out of the box, they're the sharpest I've ever used.
I'm pretty sure they're not going to fit on the Gerber.
Selected User Reviews For Baracuta #127XT Fillet Blades – 5 Pack
This is a fantastic fillet knife; I already had other Havalon knives and couldn't wait to try out this filet version when it arrived for Christmas. This year, we caught a lot of walleyes in Lake Erie, and this knife came in handy. The blades are razor-sharp, and when they dull, they can be replaced in a matter of seconds. When fileting, it does an excellent job of cutting around the bones. Now that hunting season is approaching, this knife will be ideal for cutting venison steaks and cleaning the backstrap around the bones.
Individually wrapped in plastic, they are ready to eat. The five blades are kept in a rectangular clear plastic case. Because the case does not snap shut, it is ineffective as a trail or woods case. ADDITIONALLY: br>br> Unless you're willing to grind the center channel back 1mm on each side and down 1/4" (to make the channel longer), these blades will not fit the Gerber Vital Big Game Folder. Because NOBODY KNEW FOR SURE. These were purchased by me. They 100% definitely DO NOT FIT the Gerber vital big game knife out of the package by about 1mm on either inside edge out of the package by about 1mm on either inside So, using a diamond Dremel bit and some WD40, I modified and opened up the channel it slides down into. BUT, they now fit perfectly. Although it will fold in, the very tip of this blade sticks out about 1/8th of an inch past the end. It's a risky finish. SO. They can be used as a knife, but they should not be folded.
Even though my wife insists that I sharpen her kitchen blades, these are not only excellent for filleting but also for other cutting tasks in the kitchen. I haven't replaced my blade yet, but it has been used to hack up a few fish and other meat products.
After 40 years of using a fillet knife, I decided to give the Baracuta and the replaceable blades a try. The blades' overall performance and durability have left me very impressed. I used one blade to clean 25 medium-sized panfish with no problems, and the blade stayed razor-sharp. I was so impressed with the Baracuta that I ordered two more blade styles to supplement my Baracuta collection.
I've had a lot of experience with these blades. They have a razor-sharp wit about them. I'm going to order more.
It's fantastic.
The best.
