Hey everyone,

I have a problem. A friend that I camp and fish with is getting married, he wants to get his best man (another friend of mine) a folding fillet knife.

The problem is that he is young and paying for most of the wedding...so he doesn't have much dough. He is not a knife knut and turned to me. We have looked at the commercially available stuff and it doesn't look good. I am willing to match his contribution but I warned him...the price still might be too high.

He has no idea of knife prices.

He wants 5" balde with a wood handle and stain-less steel. Anybody have an idea? Any new makers willing to take on the job?

Any thought or ideas will be welcomed.

Let's see what pops up. I bet there are a few that might be interested. Good luck!

Have never seen a custom folding fillet knife! What a great idea!

I was surprised by the lack of fillet knives in general at Blade. I kept my eyes open all weekend and never found what I was looking for... Came home to find an Email from Phil Wilson, and I now own a fine 9" fixed blade fillet knife.

I'm looking forward to hearing about folding ones!!

It may bot be a 5" blade and it may not be a custom, but the Spyderco Catcherman is at the right closeout price. Check the Spyderco C17PSK price at www.johnfjensen.com

No takers, eh? Ah well I do have one lead.

Thanks for the post JFJ but, so many bells and whistles went off on my highly protected machine, I couldn't get past the first page. Either you have some very, very bad java, or you are trying something you shouldn't be trying.

In either case I cannot recommend your site until it is cleaned up.
