Hello Folks,

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced filleting knife with 6" Blade upwards?

Cheers,
Trev

Check out the Mustad filleting knife with sharpener on veals, just 5.99. I got a couple and they are not bad quality

I tried the Mustad but found the Fiskar/Gerber one from Veals much better. The sharpener is integrated into the sheath, which is handy. This is a really sharp knife and easier that the Mustad to keep sharp.

Cheers for replies lads.

I bought one from http://www.tacklebargains.co.uk as I ordered up 4 Paravanes from them as well. I went for the Swedish Presentation Fillet Knife which has had its branding removed :? Seems like an over production of some branded model.

Cheers,
Trev

I could never get the Mustad one I bought a sharp as others I have. Also I would use the fillet knife in the kitchen and the more flexible the better esp when it comes to skinning sole or any other fish for that matter. The Mustad was a bit stiff

Best of the lot, go to your local cash and carry, head for the catering section and pick yourself up a proper, flexi blade filleting knife by Victorinox or similar and a sharpening steel. These are the business, knife and steel for less than 20 quid in most places as used by chefs, butchers, fish mongers etc. Proper job.

I wasn't going to be so blunt (sorry :oops:) but I have to agree. I chucked my Mustad one. Couldn't keep it sharp at all. Fiskar/Gerber (Rapala looks similar) is much sharper and easier to sharpen. It has a flexible blade, as petekd suggested.
