Fillett Knife??

[bjhooper82]

I just ordered a Dexter Russell fillet knife and was wondering if any of you guys use them also. If so, what do y'all think of them???

I like all my dexters. some are a bugger to sharpen if you let them get dull..

Dexters are great. I love mine

Breaking knives work the best. Once you start cleaning with those you will never use a filet knife again. If you invest in good high quality sharpening rod you will never have problems with keeping it sharp. I usually use mine every 3rd or 4th fish. A quick pass and back at it

I don't know about the new ones but i have an old wooden handled dexter russle 14" steel that is fantastic. like was said, few passes on the steel keeps knives razor sharp.

All I use to sharpen mine is 3 or 4 passes thru the cheap plastic sharpeners and I can clean 40 to 50 specks before I needing to resharpen
