Fillet knife
Looking to pick up a filet knife for use in salt or fresh water. I see knives from $10 to $200. What do you guys use, and why? Does size really matter
 ? I suppose a sheath is handy, but most are leather. Leather gets AFU by salt water, no? Thanks for the input...

Re: Fillet knife
West marine has new line of barracuda knives
Not bad for the price, stays fairly sharp, does not rust as bad

Re: Fillet knife
Sharp is all that matters. It's what you buy it for.
Is $10 sharper than $60? Does it keep it's edge inexplicably longer with a wooden, plastic or rubberized handle attached? That why we pay $400 for a cooler to save $10 in ice. The salesman got you.

Re: Fillet knife
dexter 1378, 1376 and the plastic sharpener, Fishermans Supply in PP, go with the thinner, 2333/2223? if you use for fluke/ling/seabass, go with the wider 1378/76 for blues/striper/cod. Carbon steel will rust so keep it dry and try soaking it in apple cider vinegar BEFORE using it. I have had a few for 20+ years.
