Fishing Knife

[Thomason]

Would this make a good fishing knife?

 

[Doug C]

I bet it would be a good sharkin' knife. :thumbup:
Are double edged knives legal in your state ?

DC...

 

[kvaughn]

That looks like the one the kid got kicked out of school for in Tn. It would be illegal in a number of states due to the double edge.--KV

I'd say: No.

Depends what you're going to be using it for. If it's for filleting, then there are plenty of knives designed specifically for this task. If it's for miscellaneous use, then I'd recommend a fixed, thin, stainless blade, around ~3" (and, as the previous commentators have suggested, not a 5" double-edged dagger).

 

[Ankerson]

I would get a knife that is better designed for the task at hand.

Fillet knives aren't all that expensive and can be found pretty easy.

My dad used to keep a Gerber Mark 2 on his boat. It wasn't all that great for cutting rope or monofilament or even bait due to the blade profile. He ended up breaking the blade off at the handle while cutting a watermelon and threw both parts overboard.

Yarr. It be ideal for killing a sea beastie like the giant squid. Arrr.

If you're the bait and that's the "hook", great fishing knife. Is that an evidence exhibit in a court case?

 

[link2derek]

A good multi-tool (with pliers for those pesky swallowed hooks!) and a standard Mora Clipper (the thin blade is good for filleting) are all I use for fishing tasks. Never needed anything else.

 

[GronK]

I'd jump a shark with that!

 

[Revival29]

My first question would be what kind of fishing?

A watermelon?! That's just sad...

 

[AxisFan]

Won't be worth a crap for fishing unless you bend it and grind a barb in it (Oh wait - this isn't W&C?).

Why would he throw a perfectly good watermelon overboard?!?!?!?!

 

[Mike-The-Knife]

Lets keep this simple ............NO !

A double edged, pointy knife like that might be unnecessarily dangerous on a rocking boat.

 

[Rhinoknives1]

Only if you are taking out a sentry shark and have him in a half nelson as you slide the dagger between the ribs into his heart.

 

[Quillan]

I think the double edge makes sense. You can do both fillets at the same time.

That one made me chuckle! :thumbup:

 

[simioh]

Get a Spyderco Salt for fishing, there's different sizes. Unless you want a filet knife.
