Those two fillet ? knives are for very big fish , I guess . Or ...?

That's how we catch em down here in the Republic of Texas.

I've only been there once , a long time ago , at Camp Bullis , for medical officer "basic training" .

Away from the urban areas , all the woman had beehive hairdos and seemed big , or at least tall .

The men all looked dried up, shrunken and leathery , with 10gal hats and cowboy boots .

Everyone drove like maniacs !

Plus fillet knives are fantastic for brisket, suckling pigs, beef ribs and all kind of wonderful carnivorous delights. Just sayin.

I’m here for my own reasons, but I find myself lusting for the knives of other men. Some outstanding work, David.

It's just not had the grind yet. Heat treated raw magnacut.

Ask me how I know? I emphatically asked what that awesome blade finish was immediately after seeing the pic. Feel less of a window licker for asking now.

But I would rock that look all day and twice on Sunday.
