Besides the knives you can get everywhere(rapala)What other filet knives are you all using?

I am looking for more of a specialty Filet knife or Custom(a work of art) A knife that has a surgical edge and when people see that are like ( Where did you get that I want one!!).

Your Thoughts??

Not Electric.

I bought a Wusthof this past summer and I'm very happy with it. I picked it up on sale for around $70. I've read alot of good things about Leech Lake knives but they were to hard for me to find. A quality fillet knife is money well spent.

[AQUAJOE]

I agree well worth the money for the quality. I ordered a Wusthof 7" Pro Series with sheath yesterday.

Looking for something with that quality with an amazing handle.

I have a Leech Lake knife and have purchased 2 for some of my close fishing buddies. I bought them at the sportshow in Minneapolis and have it sharpened by them at the show once a year. It is the sharpest knife I have used. They have a wide variety of colors of handles. I have black and my buddies have tan and brown. They have other colors as well. Search for Leech Lake Knife and you should find them. They are $80-$90 at the show.

Reeds in Walker has the leech lake knives you can order them on line for 89.99 free shipping. Reed's should be a sponsor here but they aren't...yet

I have the Leech lake knife and it's great. use only a fine steel with it though. And remember it's sharp on the top side too! One fish, one cut finger. But not any more!! Mike

another vote for the leech lake knife..

If I was to buy a knife to look at and admire than the Leech knives are nice. But for the last 5 years I have been using a Kershaw Fillet Knife and have cleaned plenty of fish with it. It keeps it's edge very long and is easily sharpened.

Good luck,

I have aLeech lake and a Cutco fishermen solution knife. Both are great knives and probably the best 2 along with Wusthoff knives. The cutco is great because the edge holds and it has a forever warranty,so if you give it to your grandchildren it is still under warranty.No one has a better warranty out there.One knife and hand it down forever.Also, if you have a hard time with sharpening it,they will do it no charge.

Thanks for the comments and opinions on the knives.

So I ordered the Wusthof 7" Pro Series with sheath. AND

The 7 1/2in. Leech Lake "Frosty" with a sheath.

Those 2 should get me by for awhile.

[Mike89]

you can look at the leech knife for decoration if you want, but the rascal is just to good a knife to not use!!!

[AQUAJOE]

Oh I plan on using them.

The leech is awesome it holds a edge far better than anyother knife I have ever used. Enjoy it is worth the price in my opinion.

Another voter for the Leech Lake knives. I have 2 (different sizes). DON'T use an electric sharpener. Just get the sharpening sticks that come in the little wooden block. A couple of swipes on the ceramic sticks and you're done!

[AQUAJOE]

I recieved my Leech Lake "Frosty" it is awesome looking. Holy dump that is sharp.

[iffwalleyes]

Just remember the leech has a edge on both sides. I sure am glad I wear a fillet glove when using it otherwise I think I would be good at driving to the hospital for stiches with a bleeding hand. So if you don't have a glove I would suggest getting one.

Funny thing is they sent a band-aid with it!
