You definitely need to add a Flayer. I almost bought an orange Coho recently, but I don't scoop too much caviar these days. I'd like to pick up a Shorty......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrgpZ0fUixs

The Filet knife is very useful on the water and in the field as well. Picked up a few extras so I have them when I need them.

WW let me know if you ever want to trade a bolt action. Roundoak, you may want to "preserve" that knife.

I have a flayer, and one that is similar to the shorty, but it has a different name and can't think of the name off the top. I traded a custom built knife straight across for it...because I know how good they are. My set in the pic...[that is a shorty in the pic] my other one isn't in the pic.
