Fillet knife

[Tc343]

Need advice on a good fillet knife that won't kill the bank. I'm Farley good at sharpening and it will be used around salt water.

Price range and size?

I'm only a wanabe knife guy, but the 4 and 6" version of this has put many hundreds of pounds of fish in my freezers. Give or take 40# of fillets this year.

i really like the cutco fishermans solution. i have used it for 18 years on everything from the smallest blue gills to the largest northern pike.

My favorite ones that I own are my Helle and Mora. But for the money, the cheapo J Martinni one commonly labeled as Rapala is tough to beat.

The Rapala filet knife is inexpensive and works great.

I have a 20+ year background in meat-cutting & suggest a Forschner. Link:Victorinox 40711 Semi-Flex 8" Blade Fillet Knife Fibrox Handle 40711 | Victorinox Cutlery - Wasserstrom Restaurant Supply

If price is an issue & you just wanted a good quality basic knife, then Dexter is a good option... Dexter Russell Basic Fillet Knives | TackleDirect

+1.......have used this same knife for over 35 years....

Yep, I throw my vote to the Rapala/J. Marttiini also. I like them enough to use a 4" bladed one as one of my main kitchen knives.

Bakers and Chefs' purchased from Sam's Club (also at Costco) offers a great fillet knife, and i especially like the boning knife. If money is no issue, the Cutco fisherman's solution is the way to go in my opinion.
