RE: Angler's Knives
I have an older 12" fillet knife that was gifted to me by my ex-roommate (not related to any knife involved incident ). It was a knife made in Finland but the brand name has worn off. It doesn't have a sharp tip but the edge is pretty good. I like to use that to fillet larger fish.
Then one day I was at a parking lot on this particular stream. It was 5am and it was still a little dark. I was just putting on my waders when I looked down and my headlamp show on a knife blade about 1" from my bootie foot waders. Yikes! It was a 4" rapala knife without a protective sheath and my foot was just 1" away from being cut (edge was pointed upward). I looked around and no one was around...so finders-keepers. I had been using it since and I like it. I don't have a steaking knife...I don't usually steak fish...but when I need to, I just make a cut on both side and snap the spine. Malama o ke kai Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger.

RE: Angler's Knives
I have half a dozen different fillet knifes, and at least that again in hunting knives or lockblades- but here’s my three favorite knives for fish:
Rapala rechargeable fillet knife – it’s great when you have a lot of fish to clean. It comes with 2 batteries so you never run outta juice as long as you keep them charged. I use it for taking off the fillets, but then use the manual knife below to remove the ribs and skin as I actually find the electric a bit too fast for those operations. Old style wooden handle stainless Rapala fillet knife, this one’s cleaned many hundreds of fish and is still going in spite of a lot of the blade being ground away. Lee Valley Peasant knife – great for steaking or just removing the head and tail - for fish you want whole and not filleted. High carbon steel blade sharpens easy and then holds the edge well. They discolour naturally unlike stainless blades. I use this knife a lot in the kitchen too for the heavy work because of its’ big chunky handle and thick blade.

Tried using the electric fillet knife on the turkey last night --- did an awesome job and quick too!
