I don't know if yous guys have flea markets up north, but I find a lot of nice old knives cheap at ours down here.

Yup, we got them up here also. Great sources of equipment if you know what you are looking for and know their worth.

I ended up buying a couple of cheap kvd knives from wal mart, I think they were made by mustad and are the Kevin Van Dam series. It's a 6" filet knife with a rubber type handle, black on top and red on the edge side. I use them for everything from utility, to filet, bait, general cutting, meat work, pretty much everything. I've had real good luck with them holding an edge, but they don't seem to sharpen well with the cheap sharpeners where you just pull the blade through them. I use a wetrock stone, and can get them sharp enough to use for surgery.

Deboning, removing fat, spatchcocking, butterfly, criss cross cuts, any kind of work you would do in preparing meat for cooking.

Just throwing this out there. I bought a Ken Onion sharpener.
This thing is amazing! Gives a slight convex angle.

Wow Barry.... that thing looks awesome. I might just have figured out what my next months birthday gift is gonna be. Now I just gotta figure out how to drop the proper hints to the wife without seeming overeager or pushy.

Re-watch "A Christmas Story" for gift hint guideline.
