What would you guys that have one say it excels at over more traditional styles such as a drop point or semi skinner? I know they are typically described as a "boner". Used in the kitchen also for some tasks?

Looks like it could be a wicked fillet knife if the flex is there. I really like that handle shape. Judman have you used yours to fillet any fish? Curious as to how it would work.

On the flex I'd maybe call it about medium. Its not like a full on fillet knife with lots of flex - could also be that the blade isn't that long. Its a pretty thin blade and you could certainly use it as a fillet for small to medium size fish. "Rather hunt Mule deer than anything else" "Team 7MM-08"

I like a bit of a stiffer fillet knife and you'd be surprised the size of fish I can fillet with a small blade.
