Really Solid Knife,
March 9, 2010
By AirDaMan
from Wisconsin
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Value for money, Quality
"I first used this knife in Tennessee after we had caught about 80 Crappie. We used this knife to fillet them up in about 2 hours or so. Its been about 4 years and I still have the same knives in my tackle box. There are probably some higher quality knives out there but for the price this knife is a winner."

Advantages: Style/Design, Performs well, Value for money, Quality
"This is a very sharp and flexible filet knife. I've been using mine for a couple of years now and I wouldn't trade it any other.
As the "ole" saying goes, "if it ain't broke - don't fix it.""

EXCELLENT CUTTING FILLET KNIFE,
March 30, 2009
By MDH1
from WELLING, OK
"THIS IS A GREAT FILLET KNIFE THAT EVEN COMES WITH A NICE SHARPENER. IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THE KNIFE THAT OTHER FILLET KNIVES SHOULD BE COMPARED TO FOR FUNCTIONALITY, SHARPNESS , AND LONGEVITY. IT IS AN ALL AROUND WORKHORSE THAT SHOULD BE A MUST IN YOUR FISHING TACKLE GEAR."

A real classic,
March 25, 2009
By JEMCG
from Florida
"We have been using these knives for years. My father has one he might have bought in the 70's. Ours have prepared many a dinner both in Canada and here in Florida. They resharpen easily with just a few strokes on an aluminum oxcide rod. Keep more than one around for the fishing gear and in the kitchen."

good knife,
January 25, 2009
By swampjuice
from virginia
"this is a very good knife. It would be an excellent gift for somebody just getting started, it holds and edge well, and is the right balance of flex and stiff for a good fillet job. But I would not reccomend this for someone who does a lot of fillet work."

Best little guy to have around!,
May 15, 2008
By Mohunter
from Missouri
"I owned a 6" one years ago and left it at the trout park. I was heartbroke! Then I found a 4' model in a drawer full of forks, spoons, ect. That someone had thrown out. They evidently had no appreciation for great cutlery? I used that 4" little knife on everything! It was my favorite "Go To" knife on everything from cleaning fish, to skinning critters, to working up a deer. I used it until I absolutely wore it out. I just ordered myself a brand new one. I can't wait for it to get here!"
