Razor Sharp Fillet Knife — Transmog Set Guide

Razor Sharp Fillet Knife is a common-quality one-handed dagger added to World of Warcraft with The Burning Crusade expansion in patch 2.4.0. It is a short utility blade with a plain wooden handle and a narrow steel edge — a model typical of a household kitchen and fishing knife rather than a combat weapon. The item icon hints at a straight dagger with a characteristic fillet silhouette, a direct nod to the fishing theme of its source.

In terms of game stats, this is a low-level utility weapon: item level 14, required level 27, damage 2–5 over 1.80 seconds (about 1.9 damage per second), durability 55. The item becomes soulbound when equipped. In modern Azeroth these stats carry no combat value — the dagger is interesting purely as a rare fishing "souvenir" and a transmog appearance.

The item's value lies in its theme and the rarity of its source. You can obtain it only from the daily reward bag for the fishing quests in Outland, and not every bag contains this particular dagger. In the collections of fishers and hunters of unusual transmog, the knife often serves as the finishing touch to a "working fisherman" look alongside a fishing pole and a hat.

The Razor Sharp Fillet Knife is one of the possible bonus items from the Bag of Fishing Treasures, which is awarded for the daily fishing quests of Outland's master angler.

• All five daily quests are given out by Old Man Barlo. He stands by the water on the shore of Lake Surmir in the northwestern part of the Terokkar Forest zone, northeast of Shattrath.
• Each game day Old Man Barlo offers one of five quests at random: Crocolisks in the City, Bait Bandits, The One That Got Away, Shrimpin' Ain't Easy and Felblood Fillet.
• For turning in any of these quests you receive a Bag of Fishing Treasures. The dagger is one of many random items that may be inside; there is no guarantee it will drop from any given bag.
• To be eligible for the quests you need a level 70 character and a fishing skill at least at the minimum level. Access to Outland is opened through the standard portals from Stormwind and Orgrimmar.
• The quests are daily, with a limit of one Bag of Fishing Treasures per day per character, so farming the appearance is split into many short runs.
• At modern levels all stages of the quests are completed in 10–15 minutes without any threat from mobs.

If you are doing the fishing dailies not only for this dagger, it is also worth keeping in mind the Old Man Barlowned achievement. It is awarded for completing all five quests in this set and confirms that you have fully run through the entire daily cycle.

This item has no color recolors with separate identifiers — the model is unique and is used precisely in the appearance of the fishing knife. Similar variants in silhouette and theme are worth looking for among other white and gray low-level daggers with a plain wooden handle.

• Simple daggers and stilettos from early expansions are the closest in spirit appearances for a plain "working" blade without decorations.
• Appearances from crafting and household items: all sorts of butcher, cook and fisher knives that can be found at vendor NPCs in low-level zones.
• Gear from Old Man Barlo's other dailies — fishing hats, lines and hooks are kept in the same theme and pair well with the dagger in a single look.

If you want this exact appearance, you should farm the Razor Sharp Fillet Knife itself, as there are no other items with exactly the same model.

• It fits a working fisherman look: together with the Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat and a fishing pole it forms a complete "harbor" silhouette.
• It harmonizes with dark brown and gray leather armor — for example, with simple low-level hunter and rogue sets.
• It is fitting in concepts of townsfolk, merchants, cooks and innkeepers, where a combat weapon would look unnatural.
• It contrasts with the bright plate armor of paladins and warriors — a debatable but expressive pairing of a rough household knife with ceremonial armor.
• It looks good on rogues paired with the same simple dagger model in the other hand — two "working" blades add practical authenticity to the look without excess.
