Fillet Knife

i have a berkley and this thing is GARBAGE! Which do yall use and where can i get one?
i'm thinking about spending the money and getting an American Angler

I use the cheap black and deckers

Dexter Russel filet knives are inexpensive and will keep an edge and a ton of use.
Just as good if not better than an expensive Bubba blade.

Dexter Russel for me.

For catfish I use Kershaw or if I'm using an electric I use an American Angler with a shark blade.

i should have mentioned it was electric

American Angler are the best electric knifes you can buy I believe.

I agree

I've been using mine for the past 4 years with no problem. Only cost $8.00 at Wal-mart.

I use a 10inch old timer fillet knife....easy to sharpen and holds an edge I will say that any decent fillet knife that is SHARPENED properly will do the trick

I use the Mister Twister because the blades are sharp but not to pointed. They don't hang the skin

Sam! Tell us how to sharpen them...you will save me about $200/year

I use the Work Sharp on my blades. Easy to use and put a razor sharp edge on your knives.

Over this past summer fishing down on the Red River I was forced to use a fillet knife and I became pretty fast at it. I had a nice MUSTAD 9" fillet knife I started with but it wasnt stiff enought so I ended buying a KVD set from walmart; which is made by mustad as well but have a stiffer blade, and a cheap sharpener and it has worked great for me ever since. I do love the American Angler electric knifes tho. I think that you get a nicer cut using a sharp fillet knife instead of an electric knife. But to each is his own and everyone will have there own to put in.

A 5/32nd chain saw file will sharpen electric knife blades in just a few minutes.

About 8 passes on each notch of each single blade with the flat side of the blade face down and it will be good as new!

+++1 on the American angler

I use the Mr. Twister Saltwater Edition.

Where can you get a 5/32 chain saw file? Home Depot/Lowes?

Better than anything you plug in.

I fill my freezer every year with a RADA I have tried cutco and a couple more but the RADA is easy to sharpen and lasts .

Salsa get a Work-Sharp knife & tool sharpener after you get them sharp you just have to touch them up when your done you can have a razor edge in 2 minutes or less I carry 4 or 5 fillet knifes around at the same time....that helps a lot in casae I dull one or two

Sam, i've tried the worksharp w/ no luck. are you using the serration tool or the regular belt?

I ordered custom 360 grit belts 1/2 inch by 12inch from MSC industrial supply company..then i hit them with the honing belt.....they want ya to buy there belts in the kit....I dont use my machine except for knives...they do have a good how to video on line at work sharp web site..again i love my machine i dont use the serrated guide either or the hunting knife guide..i use the standard knife guide that also has the scissors guide...
