I'm looking for some information you fine folks may have for me

I'm not sure this one is a fillet knife as it's too stiff in my opinion, but I can definitely see the merit one with a good flexible fillet blade.

If you’re not going to take the skin off, a stiffer knife will work fine, for me, having a flexible blade is more important taking the skin off.

Then I think this would be fine if leaving the skin on.
I just don't get to fish or catch enough.

Absolutely, it would be fine taking the skin off a fish with thick skin like bass, redfish, or trigger fish, but not for fish with thin skin like catfish, flounder, trout or salmon.
 
I think that knife will work just fine on fish. The blade is thin. It doesn't need to be flexible. You found yourself a cool little knife!

I have one of the wood handled folder filet knives made by Schrade. Bought it when Schrade was going out of business at a gun show. It was still fairly expensive (like $50). I have absolutely no use for a filet knife. Bu that didn't stop me from buying it. ;)
 
I think I'm going to go ahead and call this made by Morakniv ( Frost's mora at that time I guess ) because its the most likely suspect and the evidence I've found adds up.
This is of course unless anyone has any other likely suspect for me.
 
Art Ullis ran a hardware store in Tacoma, and every year brought out a different knife, a lot from Germany. I have seen several different type of knives, all marked Art Ullis. John

I didn't know they were a hardware store, that's interesting.
I haven't found anything to point me towards a different manufacturer so I'm still sticking with Mora.
 
I don’t use flexible fish knives, but I mostly boat to catch mackerel or blues. If I’m at a lake or river and just fishing for dinner I don’t bring a filet knife at all.
 
I was always told the spoon was for roe, but I've never seen one used.

A lot of people don't want a flexible blade for fish; there's a fair number of bird and trout knives that are not flexible, but get used with fish.

Yep, for roe and for fish guts.
The only time I've seen a spoon used was the couple times my brother cured some salmon eggs in borax to use as bait, and that was just a normal spoon from the kitchen drawer.
