Fish Cleaning Knife

[Bondo Bill]

for salmon, a 6" boning knife by Dexter/Russell gets the job done. filleting with a 10" Dexter/Russell butcher knife. halibut, I switch to a 9" breaking knife by the same company. non-slip handles and a high carbon content blade means getting an edge on all of these is very simple and easy.

X 2 on the Dexter sani-safe knives. Get their diamond sharping stick and you will have the sharpiest knife you have ever owned.....fingers beware.
I have the 10" butcher knife and the 8" fillet.

Does anyone have any experience with the new bubba blade? Been hearing all about it on the black and red site and I'm pretty tempted to order a few www.bubbablade.com

I won one from another site. I got it a month or so ago so I haven't yet filleted any fish with it. It's sharp and feels good in the hand. It's not super flexible. I'm thinking it will be a good knife for tuna but I'm not so sure it would be my go to for salmon. But we'll see later in the year. Of course with any knife, it's not so much how it works the first few times you use it but how it holds up after a 100+ uses. It will take awhile to figure out if the bubba blade is a long term keeper (but first impressions are good).

On a fishing trip up Island I forgot my knives and bought this one for only $10.00 although I have seen it elsewhere for 15.00. This one has to be a best value with better steel than some much more expensive knives. It takes an edge fast and easy and holds it well. Does not hold an edge as long as some very expensive knives but then its not. Only down side is that its technically a fillet knife with only a 9 inch blade so it does not have a spoon. It does do a good job of cleaning however and again great value.

I have 2 of them, I have the 9 inch flex and I have a 9 inch stiffie.
and neither follow me to the boat, tried them once or twice and didn't really care for them,
I prefer the narrower/flexible fillet type blade, the Bubbas are more of a butcher type blade IMO.

knives all depend on what job your doing.. for filleting a halibut you want a flexible blade to go and get every speck of meat. for salmon a thick strong stiff blade here is a video of me doing halibut a client posted on you tube

as you can see I use a simple cheap frostts knife about 12 bucks and sharpen often if I get a season out of 1 knife i think its all good...... and yes im taking my time normally a bit faster ... LOL

Yeah my son got me a havalon for xmas. it is the sharpest knife there is. I filleted some cod with it & it works as good as any fillet knife I have owned.
I also use a havalon when i am guiding. It is the best there is for caping.

 

[Lipripper]

So I hear havalon knifes are good... especially for guiding.

And for caping you want nothing else....


Sorry TT, you lobbed it

Just received a late Xmas gift certificate purchase from amazon.ca

10" Kershaw pro grade breaking knife, on sale for $24.77. Spend another $0.23 and get free shipping. Says 1-2 months but mine showed up in 3 days.

You can even ship it back to factory in Oregon for free sharpening if the edge gets damaged.

Hate to use a cliche, but it is scary sharp !

I bought this Rapala filet knife last year. The local tackle shop had them at 50% off. Picked it up for 39 bucks. It's a carbon blade that holds very well. Just clean and spray with Pam and put back in holster.

Very mixed reviews of the Bubba Blade products.

If it's a large knife like that you really want head to PN&T or Nikka or TroTac and see what they sell for the commercial fleet-for $50 or so you can buy a knife that will last for years & years.

That guy in the video need a better cameraman he does a decent job of that big Tuna considering how clumsy it must be to work with a huge carcass like that.

I did wince when he threw the head out that was full of delicious meat but it's a factory he works in not a kitchen-if you want to see some wince worthy slaughter jobs watch the half cut guys @ the Bamtown Tuna Shootout I never saw so much waste in all my life.
