I've been using mostly the cheaper offering pine handled rapalas in the 6 & 9" lengths. I have a couple other ones that have been gifted to me. One thing I've noticed is that a lot of the fillet knives for sale these days are edge ground on one side only. I can work with these but I prefer a 2 sided grind, the one side blades want to draft or plow... the blade climbs one way or another rather that running straight through a cut. It can be corrected by tilting the blade a little, but I've started looking for this and I wont buy one with single sided grind.

I'll probably order one of the Rada knives that Walt posted, I've not heard of them but they sound like something I'd like.


Something clever here.
