I'm told that the folks on those huge fish processing ships all use Dexter knives. I wouldn't doubt it.
Thanks Rocky, I'm not familiar with the American Angler, I'll have to check them out.. I did really like the Dexter though it was a good knife, had a great stiffness and really sharp blade that held it's edge through a lot of fish... I think it was the narrow profile of the blade that was my favorite part though, it was thin, but still stiff and strong so it cut like a beefy knife, but handled like a finesse one... Very good combination, I'd like to try one on a bunch of perch to see how it does... I'm hoping it's not just a big fish knife... if so that price isn't bad to have on hand for when I need it... Thanks for the recommendations... Jeff
PS... They had a magnetic strip mounted above their fillet station so they just stuck their knives on it and it kept them all available where needed... I think I need to add some of them to my boat for my bait knife and plyers... if I can find a safe location to mount it...
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
