The blade itself is 7 1/2 ", with an added 5" for the handle. The 6" blade was like $2 less, it was a much better value to get the longer one.
One thing I really hate is filleting a fish with a knife that is too small and the tip ends up not extending past the backbone of the fish and you have to really be tricky to get it to fillet. Up until now I've either borrowed my dad's if I was at his house anyway, or I used my 4 inch hunting knife blade, which is thick and not even a tiny bit flexible, and aweful to have to fillet with.
Luckily I don't keep fish that often, so I haven't had to suffer that much.
