Coauthors: Katura Miyazaki, Kimihiko Motegi

The (-3,3,5) pretzel knot is the first known example of a non-invertible knot which admits a Seifert fibered Dehn filling. We discuss the significance of this discovery and how the Seifert surgery can be exploited to determine the SL(2,C)-character variety of this knot.
