Red Flower and I went halibut fishing the other day. We caught a couple of little ones, as halibut go. We decided to steak them out instead of going the more traditional route of fillet. The chosen knife was the Farmcata, in large part because of the unique handle that will provide a solid grip even when covered with fish slime.
I used a thick old cutting board to absorb impact so I wouldn't chop up my picnic table.
I had a carving knife in reserve for auxillary flesh cutting, but it turned out not to be needed. The farmcata did it all, going through both the thick flesh and the spine cleanly with no problems. Any little remaining connections of skin were easily taken care of with a quick slice of the farmcata knife.
Final report, the farmcata knife does an excellent job steaking out larger fish, and the handle shape provides good security for chopping even when covered with fish slime.
