Fillet Knives

Patrickknives · Jul 20, 2009

A fisherman friend has been discussing his optimum fillet knife for some while and we worked together to make these. They are both 1/16" thick A2 tool steel. A2 is a high carbon tool steel with 5-6% chrome. This helps prevent corrosion while giving the performance of a tool steel. The handles are beautiful Cocobolo handles and 1/8 brass pins, pics are ok but really look good with the brass pins. The pins were peened when the handles were epoxied and not clamped to insure a good hold. The pic of the back of the knives show how well the fit is.

They both have great flex, HT to about 56RC was target.

Long Fillet 12 1/2" overall 8" blade about 1" at widest part of the blade. $75.00 + 5.95 USPS Shipping Sold pending funds, more to come

Short Fillet 10 1/4" overall 5 1/4" blade about 1" at widest part of the blade.
$55.00 + 5.95 USPS Shipping Sold

Leather Pouch Sheath Available $20.00.

Prefer Paypal but we can always work out something.

Looks Good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbup:
Whats the Handle?

Patrickknives · Jul 21, 2009

The handles are Cocobolo, its a great hard wood much like desert iron wood. Makes a great handle without needing to be stabilized. The finish is teak oil. The finish can always be renewed with a little sanding and more oil to keep it looking good.

Great looking working knives Patrick. That smaller knife would make a great gut and gill knife for salmon!
I agree with you about the cocobolo. My wife has a kitchen knife with cocobolo that goes in the dishwater every night; still looks great.

I realy like A-2 tool steel it is one of my favorites. I never have made a fillet knife out of it but now I want to try. Excellent looking knives made with excellent materials. Well Done!

Thanks, I think A2 is a great steel for all outdoor knives, tool steel with a bit of corrosion resistance.
