What knife do you keep in your tackle box?

Ebbtide,
How do you like the Dozier fillet knife? I have been considering one for my father who is an avid salmon and steelhead fisherman.

The Dozier Fillet knife is the beesknees :D
It has a rigid blade. Well, it flexes a little but nothing like the big Murphy or the Schrade Steelhead in the photo.
I only like a flexible blade for skinning the fillets after they are off the fish.

The Dozier was great taking the meat off these bluefish.

Went thru the ribs like they weren't there.
(Just picked the ribs out with needlenose pliers when done).
It would be great for salmon and steelhead.

Makes a nice kitchen knife as well :D

Thank you for the response Ebbtide. I will have to put in an order for one. :)
 
Recently stocked it with Fallkniven F2, but haven't been fishing yet to try it out.

My old knife is a Wal Mart Rapala, which in all honesty, did the job OK.

No need to put a knife in the tackle box for me. I always have a Leatherman Juice S2 in my pocket along with either the Kershaw Vapor or Benchmade Ambush.
 
I keep a Microtech Halo otf in my tacklebox. Then someone stool it around Christmas time.:( (From the movie "Reindeer Games".)
 
Mora for me. I also have a Gerber LST folder.

The tackle box is where I keep sharp but inexpensive knives as I clean any fish I catch in the middle of the lake and have let the odd knife slip over the years.
 
I have a Normark lockback that I bought in college (which is way too heavy for a tacklebox) and a pair of fingernail clips. I only use the knife for bait, but the clips get used every time I tie a knot.

The Sharpfinger is a fishing knife?

Works for me.
Bluefish like the smaller ones in the picture go on the BBQ whole.
Guts and gills come out and then they are scaled.
That Sharpfinger has taken apart hundreds of bluefish through the years.
It had a fantastic 'old hammer' patina that I ruined when I decided to convex the edge.
That knife never had a rust problem in many years of saltwater fishing.
Only once did it have a dusting of orange on it when I left it saltwater damp in the sheath after a day out with too much hot sun and too much beer.
Some WD40 and 000 steel wool took care of it in 10 minutes.

Those blues above were fillet'd to save space in the cooler for the 100 mile ride home.
I'd rather have them whole and looking back at me from the plate :D
