Made in the USA, $20 bucks on Amazon. Click Here I sharpen them on a Chef's Choice sharpener, because the knife is cheap and I always want to get the filleting job done fast after a day on the lake. I keep several on hand at my cabin and give them away as gifts. Everyone who uses them loves the sharp, flexible blade. the ergonomic handle on that looks fantastic, especially useful if your hands are cold Yeah, I like the looks of it, but have never had a hollow ground blade I liked !

It took me a while to get used to an electric filet knife but couldn’t get by without it now. Best one i ever had was a Hamilton Beach electric carving knife.

My second one now actually. This second one is the same model as the first one but the blades are too viscous on the second one, luckily I kept the blades for the old one that burned out.

The size limit on those is none over like 29 inches. I need to improve my touch on cutting out those y bones.

He invariably had a few well-blooded cloth band-aids on his off-fingers. Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

On lake of the woods, on the US side the limit is 3 total with no keepers between 30 and 40 inches. One can be kept over 40. Something clever here.

I do the y bones like she did, only I always manage to leave some parts of bone in there. Beware of any old man in a profession where one usually dies young. Calm seas don't make sailors.
