Dexter 9 inch, have same one for years!

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.

What does that do?

Get the dexter. It's high carbon. It's not stainless so what I do is coat it in oil with a paper towel when I'm done. Vegetable oil not motor oil

Russell 9inch wooden handle best knife for the money!

No reason to heat carbon blades, the steel needs to develop a "patina" either with use and care or a "forced" patina. You can as suggested soak in vinegar or use things like a brief coat of mustard to force a patina and then wash off and care for as any other carbon steel knife.
