Fillet knife recommendation?
I have two fillet knives, a Rapala and a dexter. I can't stand the dexter knife and the Rapala is okay. I sharpen the blades every time I fillet fish. When I'm trying to get through the rib bones on a blackfish or sea bass, my two knives struggle big time, especially the dexter. I've been reading online that the Cutco fisherman's solution is one of the best fillet knives, but it is pretty pricey. I don't mind spending the money, but I'd like to know if it's worth it. Or if you have any other recommendations.

The dexter knife I have has a white plastic type handle. It struggles big time trying to get through the rib cage.

Re: Fillet knife recommendation?
I have used rapala knives for decades, and always liked them fine.. guess I don't understand your cutting through the ribs??.. I have never had to cut through bones on most any saltwater fish... i always cut around the rib cage.. fillet knives are really not designed to cut through bone.. Dulls the sharp thin blades REALLY fast.. Maybe I'm all wet, but a plain old rapala has always done a good job for many of us... bob

Re: Fillet knife recommendation?
Looks like I have the wrong Dexter knife. Seems like the wooden handled one is better? Because my plastic handled one is garbage. And Bob, I know the method you probably use for avoiding the rib bones, but I always butcher the fish when I use that method. And the Rapala gets the job done, but definitely not as good as Id like.
