I use a Katsura VG-10 blade, classic filet knife blade shape and style. The VG-10 stays sharp a very long time and is very easy to put back to sharp. Great knife for fish, but when I use it butchering deer I invariably wind up with a nick.

For most fish I prefer a Hoffritz boning knife with a boning knife profile.The steel is very much like 420 and sharpens easily but will not hold an edge anywhere near as long as the VG-10

I watched two different top cut versions, and those give away too much meat IMHO.

This guy has a little different approach than the girl, but I'm not sure he ends up with more meat.

I always filleted my fish from the top down like that salmon commercial guy is doing. Not as fast mind you, but over the top of the rib cage, not through it. I've always liked my Gerber knife for that with a little wider blade and more of a curve toward the tip. We charter fished on Lake Michigan, so I got to clean a lot of salmon and trout. In Canada I got the fish cleaning chore as well and all the northern went back into the lake. Smelly, bony things that they are.

Funny story. I was down in the fish cleaning house with another guy who was cleaning fish when the camp owner came in and read the guy the riot act for cleaning a fish with the knife pointed back toward himself. The guy looked kind of sheepish and said that it always worked okay back home at work. The camp owner asked him what kind of job was that? The guy said, "I'm a medical pathologist in Denver."

Camp owner, "Oh" quick exit.
He must have figured that the guy knew how to work a knife.
