Finesse Filet

This is a semi-flex filet knife designed as a collaboration with a customer who is an experienced fisherman and outdoorsman. After his prototype, this is the third one made, and the first available to the Knife Exchange on Bladeforums. He and the original owner both like theirs very much, but it may not be suited to your fileting technique, so please consider the following before you buy:

I called this the finesse fillet because I prefer to ride over the ribcage bones rather that cut thru them. Saves the step of removal and eliminates the chances of chipping the blade on larger bones.
