I had one these types of fillet knifes when I was a kid. I prefer much more flexibility in the blade when cutting up fish though.
 
That flexible blade really shines when skinning the fillets.
If you are going to leave the skin on, almost any knife will do.
My inlaws get all riled up if you fillet fish...too much waste they say.
We'd scale them, take out the guts and gills then throw them on the BBQ.
Whole, so they look back at you.
(yum)
The Sharpfinger was the knife of choice for that.
And a spoon for scaling.
 
Count me in as a Fillet Knife lover, I have a number of Fillet Knives as I like to fish alot.
The three that get used alot are CRKT'S Russ Kommer's Big Eddy in the 7 and 9 inch and a folding Normark Fillet.
I also have another of others in various makes and designs, the one I don't have is Case's, I have a Sabre knock off but I want the Case Yellow and the Case g10 Orange handled ones.

I agree that, for small fish at least, on the bone is the way to go. Better tasting, easier to cook. I still like to fillet the bigger ones though.

And you're right about the spoon too. :D
 
I recently bought a nice Benchmade folding filet knife, I love it! Kind of a unique folder with the "handle" sliding in to lock it...it was under $25 and worth every penny. My son always wants to eat whatever he catches and I love the way I can filet rock bass or bluegills with ease now. As for the bigger fish...it does a really nice job...very flexible and very easy to work with.
 
The second one down is a Dozier Fillet.
A flat ground Dozier Fillet that I got from their table here in NYC last March. I couldn't walk away from that one :D[/QUOTE]



I picked one of those up from the Dozier shop.......and just love it !!! It gets alot of use in the kitchen:cool:

While I don’t do any fishing, I do EDC a Spyderco Catcherman. That knife will cut cheese better than just about anything out there, really good for making lunch on the fly.

I looked at that Benchmade the other day. Pretty cool looking. How do you think that sliding handle will hold up?
 
The sliding handle seems pretty sturdy really...I have had no problems with it. To my knowlege the knife comes in two sizes...I bought the smaller one, and I really like it. I am very impressed with it.
 
I have an old Queen 6" blade fillet knife. It's marked queen steel #72 on the blade but nothing on the tang. Anyone know why this is?
 
From my household... Some Finnish fish-slicers:

The top one is a (new-ish) Hackman Gourmet model. Not really top of the market, but they got the flexibility just right - if one prefers a flexible fillet knife over a more rigid one. The handle works pretty well in a grip where the forefinger stabilizes on the blade. One of the loudest knives I've encountered - It rings like a tuning fork from the slightest graze. Maybe it's because of the hollow formed handle, I don't know. It cut's pretty well too ;)

Below is a 1967 J. Marttiini (Normark branded) hand forged stainless fillet knife. No-nonsense, but very well made. The blade is apparently tempered quite hard, and is only slightly flexible. Just fondling this knife makes me want to be lakeside, cooking by an open fire. The sheath is very high quality and sturdy, handle is phenolic (bakelite or similar) I think. I'm not the original owner, it's been passed down to me, and is very well kept. I really prize this knife.
 
Ah, this was an old thread... didn't notice at first.

If you have an older knife that you want info on, you might want post to the Bernard Levine knife collecting sub-forum here. (http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=691) Be sure to post pics of your knife there, if at all possible. Someone who knows Queen Cutlery products will probably browse through here as well, but over there are guys who know markings and minutiae of knives from the whole spectrum inside out.
 
Man, I like that Normark. Great looking knife.

Here's another photo of fishing knives.

Electric fisherman :D
What's that folder below the Spyderco Cathcerman?

A Rapala I picked up somewhere--Wal-Mart I think. Swedish steel though. It does a good job on small fish.

Here's one I would like to acquire at some point.

Zlatoust Fishing 2. (Russian made).

Michael, I only see the first two of those on your pages. What are the last three?
