Anybody use their case soddy for fishing? I understand it would work great for all the little tasks, but how about actually gutting the fish? Im just worried about the lack of a point.
 
I've used a small Case CV sodbuster for a fishing knife a while back. It was part of an experiment on seeing how far I could push an edc pocket knife. It did a fine job of cleaning fish, just as it did a fine job doing most anything that was asked of it.

I'm absolutely sure the thin blade on the small stainless sod buster would work great for cleaning panfish (trout, bluegill, crappie, etc.). The blade on the small stainless version is a very thin hollow grind; great slicer. Only thing I'd check to be sure is, keep the tip as sharp as you can, as a piercing cut is often the beginning of a fish-cleaning cut. Not really essential, but it can make a difference. And the 'as ground' finish on the stainless version leaves a very crisp edge on the spine of the blade, which could be useful as a scaler, if needed.
 
I used it as one this week skinned fish and everything else u could think of
 
isnt the case soddy jr (in CV) the knife jackknife chose when he motorcycled across country and back (maryland to oregon and back) as his ONLY knife?
i think thats about the most ringing endorsement for any knife i could think of...
 
I wouldn't worry about the lack of a point. When I was a kid I watched my Grandfather clean hundreds of fish with a roundpoint fish knife like this:

He kept his razor sharp and had no problems at all.
 
With my tecnic of cleaning the fish I never use the knifetip at all. This is throut and its reed sibling mostly.
my Case sodbuster jr works good for the use.
