Anyone have any custom or really nice fillet knives? I have some random piece of junk that I've had forever and it recently occurred to be how dumb it was that I use and own nice blades for pretty much everything else, but don't own a nice fillet knife. Post em up, action pics even better....
 
Here is one that is fillet like. I know I use it as one. I made it from 3/32" D-2 and it cuts like a lazer.

I got a few more angles of it if anyone wants to se them.

Here's a disaster pic of a broken fillet knife! Right as I was about to call it finished and send it to the sharpener, I was testing the flex on the blade. The corian handle snapped on me. I think I am going to go back to using red oak for most knifes after this.

Can you post a pic of it in the hand? Or maybe by a fish for size comparison?
 
Here's one by Phil Wilson.

And here next to the one it replaced, from Fallkniven.

The Wilson/Seamount filet knife is incredible. Just a tad too long for the trout I usually crave, but perfect for everything bigger. Did a great job on a smoked turkey, too!
 
Living right on the Alsea River we do quite a bit of fishing. I may have to have a custom made some day.
As for now, we use either the Knives of Alaska Steelheader or the little Cub bear. The Cub does a great job on little trout like these.

I've only made one so far, but will do more. Here is a pic:

Steel is 1/16" ATS 34 and the handle is blue G-10.

Great looking filet knife Bruce. Is that a 7mm sitting next to it?
