Dexter-Russell (2333-9PCP) - 9" Fillet Knife - Dexter-Russell Series

Buy a Dexter Russell if you want a good dependable fillet knife. I bought a much more expensive Wustoff fillet knife prior to this. I should have saved my money, as this knife worked out better for me. I too was a commercial fisherman for over 20 years. That means you know how to catch fish, not necessarily process them, as most of the fish I sold were only gutted or sold whole. However, because I sold my fish I got to look inside the commercial processing plants of the larger fish buyers. The people that work there know more about filleting than anyone. Believe meit is harder to fillet commercially than what the average person can produce. They leave a good looking fillet and with less fine bonesand they do it at high speed. You will always find Dexter Russell's at the top of the list of knives used. Now I have a selection of lengths and widths of Dexter Russell's (this is the longest) for different species of fish for my personal use. Just learn how to properly maintain it's edge (watch some YouTube videos if you don't know how) and you will be more than satisfied.

I give 5 stars for the quality of the blade, but the handle is softer wood than maybe should be in a knife handle. Really do need to oil or otherwise give the wood handle some sort of protective finish first chance you get. Blade is older style high carbon steel that tarnishes right away, and builds up to a sort of dark finish over time. I am pleased with the feel of the blade, which is to me the right balance between stiff and flexible. I think this knife is best for special work like ham slicing. The best jack-o-lantern carving blade ever.

After six months of use this knife is still sharp. We have cleaned 100's of fish with this knife this year and I have not had to sharpened it yet. The 9" blade makes filleting larger Catfish a lot easier. My fishing buddies all love this knife and the only complaint was that it was too sharp.
