Hi everyone! Got a question about fillet knives. Iv had a buck knife when I was a lot younger which is gone now and I recently got a Rapala (hand ground stainless,rubber handle on it, was like 15$-20$ Don't remember ) which im not happy with. I Would like to use it on small to midsize fish and don't mind spending the money if it will last and be worth the money.
What knives are you guys using to fillet and bone fish and where did you purchase it?

One of the most important things for fillet knife is to be sharp! The sharper the better it makes all the difference.. Like anything in life you do it enough times you become better and better. I let my buddies do the cleaning and I just do the catching.. Lol

look for the wood handle Normark ( Rapala), way better then the rubber handled ones, the old wood handle is by far the best fillet knife I've owned and I tried others. Nothing beats the cheapest Rapala wood handle, and buy the pull through cheap sharpener, they work great but only last a season depending on how many times you sharpen the knife

After research the names that keep popping up is the Wusthof, Bubba blade and Victorinox. Think I'm gonna give one of those a go with a good sharpening kit.
