Filet knife recommendations
Looking for new filet knife recommendations? Something that won’t break the bank but will hold an edge any suggestions?

The mustad knife is cheap and keeps an edge: https://amzn.to/30n72FG
I used the Tsunami 6" but they discontinued that. Rapala also has some nice looking knives on Amazon, but I've never used them (yet). Just get a good sharpening rod or whetsone and don't put your knives in the dishwasher and you'll be good, even with a Wal-Mart knife |

The 10" breaking knife from squidco works alright. It's cheap and sturdy.
Victorinox commerical style kitchenware is always a safe bet. Edge will only "hold" if you know how to put a good edge on it in the first place. |

I use a Bubba Blade 7" flex blade. Wal-Mart carrys it and it comes with a sheath. Bought cheaper one before, but they don't come close and ended paying more in the long run. They are like $47-$50. Bubba Blade also makes one now that has interchangeable blades, for a bit more $.

When I worked as a deckhand 40 years ago, a 10" Forshner was the knife of choice. Forshner was bought out by Victorinox, but the knife was so popular, they still sell it today.

I own 2 of the forshner/victorinox 10inch breaking knives. Excellent knives. They are very reasonably priced. Shop around

Just got the 8"
I saw Chris using these AFTCO knifes and my Bubba's tip broke (sounds weird), so i figured you cant go wrong with German steal. $85 shipped.
