hamms-scooter Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Good old Rap knife for me! Works perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsmitty Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hands down. The Cutco is the best knife if ever seen or used. I love how the blade length is adjustable. It slides in and out of the handle and locks down solid. Panfish to Muskie it works for everything... just kidding about the muskies.

Ballyhoo Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I can't believe nobody uses a Chicago Cutlery. 65S for smaller fish and 78S for larger. My favorite knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally fisher Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 As long as it is sharp and has a good flex it works for me. I use a rapala brand and a normark. The normark seems to have a blade that never goes dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogwalker Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Wusthof is considered one of the top knife brands in the world by professional chefs. They are made in Germany and have a lifetime warranty. Classic is considered to be their top of the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinbob84 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I have had plenty of filet knives and the rapala superflex was my favorite until I finally bought an electric this year. It is so much faster to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wimbie Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I use a kinfe made in Marengo Ia. So far it has done a very nice job and hasn't needed sharpening. I bought mine at the St. Croix factory in Wi. when I was fishing with a buddy up there. Custom Cutlery Inc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronM Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I can't believe nobody uses a Chicago Cutlery. 65S for smaller fish and 78S for larger. My favorite knife. Agreed. I'm also on LOTW and that's what I use, as my Dad does, and as my Grandpa did before him. Great knives that have lasted generations. My dad has had his for over 20 years and it still looks new. My family learned from commercial fishermen that used to fish the lake, good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigginjim Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Several years ago I was told a 7 1/2" Boker fillet knife had a great super flex blade. $75. I have only used it maybe 10 times in 20yrs. The blade flexs so much the fillets come out looking garbage. I got a In-fisherman fillet 6" blade, 15yrs ago, I'm still using that knife. Money sometimes does not bought what feels best in your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad austin Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Thanks to all of you who replied, I'm still waiting for my new Leech Lake fillet knife to arrive. I will give feed back on how I like it after I use it a few times, like many of you, I have been using the original Rapala knife from when I was kid (I actually got mine after my grandma past when I was 12) as a hand me down and the blade is getting kinda thin from being sharpened. I look forward to handing this new knife down to my son. Maybe I'll just give it to him sooner than later and then he can clean all of our fish and I'll just watch lol.Thanks again to all who chimed inChad Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
