You're gonna love Dexter. Had to buy a Berkley at Wal-Mart on a recent trip when I forgot the Dexters. No comparison.

Works great on snapper. I use the serrated one. Also use them on redfish, sheepshead and other boney fish. Cuts like butter.

I bought a very old dexter filet knife in excellent condition at an antique store in Carencro for $1. I liked it so much that I now just keep it in the kitchen

I use a dexter serrated for the big scaley fish, I prefer to use a regular thin filet knife for the specks...apparently I suck with an electric knife...

Under $30

Forshner also makes a good filet knife for about the same price.

If I remember correctly...... about $ 25.

Be careful with them....the blade is very sharp.
