The 9 in Kershaw is a good knife. I leave mine out in the elements year round very little spotting. Remember stainless means...stains less. I have been using the Kershaw for many years you can find them online with free shipping for around 20 bucks more or less. _________________ I LIKE MINE FRIED. |

Roy's carries the Victor Knox (Forshner)7" . Great substitute if you have to put your hands on one now. $20 no complaints. _________________ Adrift on the Mother Lagoon |

I have 2 of these and they are great. Really hold an edge and the blade length is adjustable for bigger fish. A little pricey but well worth it in my opinion. |

Alot of of folks that make knives ( really good knives ) use the ats 34 and the 154 cm they hold a really good edge and polish up very nicely. I like to heat treat them to a RC 58. I heat treat most of those steels on a daily basis. _________________ I LIKE MINE FRIED. |

We use these in our meat market. I ordered the Kershaw but I think for the 9.98 I will try one of these in the 8" fillet knife. _________________ Take a kid fishing, best investment for them and our future of fishing. |

| Great info guys thanks for sharing. That SOG looks legit. We own quite a bit of Cutco so I might have to give one a look down the road. I always used dexter and russel and replaced them every year or two. Once they got beat up I couldn't get them to hold an edge like they did when they were new. Took the old knives on the beach and boat which would get lost eventually. |
