fillet knife.......

[Striper80]

My dexter Russell is mild steel. It used to rust so I used a stainless sink restoration kit to polish the blade. Since I did that and make sure to clean and dry it immediately after use it doesn't rust anymore. The mild steel holds an edge better than stainless.

Actually I use 4 fillet knives, and countless other "bait" knives. Dexter-Russel for all four fillet. (Fluke just seems to dull the crap out of them, so that's why 4) Nothing worse than having to stop in the middle of a fish cleaning job to sharpen them. My main 2 are SS, and the other 2 are high carbon. The high carbon hold an edge better, but you MUST take care of them... clean and dry before putting them away. A few strokes with the sharpening steel keeps them ready to go most times. The SS require a bit more care for sharpening.... I use a wet stone and then a diamond stone to keep them ready.

Stinky, that Pirahna knife looks very interesting. But the blade on yours seems to be different than the one in the ad. Yours seems thinner and more flexible and fatter at the tip. Did they change the style? How do you sharpen it, or do you just buy a new set of blades?

Yes they change style every so often. I have one like in the ad now as well and it works great. I did like the thinner blade though.
