What do you guys think is the best fillet knife, other than custom ones. A knife that will hold a good edge and holds up well to salt water abuse. I've got several but would buy another one if it's better than the rest.
Best fillet knife ?

Lippripper advised me a while back that "Dexter knives" were good.
I bought one and would definitely recommend them.

I would recommend dropping by http://www.trotacmarine.com/,it has been the pride of the fishing fleet for years.Paul,Trevor & Mike are very helpfull, when it comes to finding the best products for their clients needs.
I was in the store the other day,to get some help spooling up some new line on my reels.While in the service area,I looked for one of my favorite work - horses, a small knife, I wouldn't be caught without..well at least until my wife, found it also worked wonders,in the kitchen.

As RS said I would recommend the Dexter Russel knives. They are what they are , not very expensive, they hold an edge if you take some care of it.
I would say they would last 1-200,000 lbs per knife depending.
What do you want out of a knife DB. I may be able to recommend a style

I would just like a decent fillet knife, doesn't have to be too long, I don't mind spending the time sharpening them as I actually like doing that. I have hunting knives that are very sharp that I spend the time on, store bought and custom and want a simple knife to do clean fillet's with.
If you have different styles to look at, I'm never one to shy away from owning more than one or more knives. They're like gun's or fishing rods, you can never own just one.

I was just reading some reviews on the Dexter Russell knives and they said they are on par with Henkels, so I think I'm gonna have a look at them tomorrow. Thanks guys. If you have any more suggestions I'm open to having a look.

X2. I have a Kershaw that I bought in the early 90's and even though I have over half a dozen filleting knives, it's still my favourite. Holds an edge very well. Love the "feel" of the handle. It is also an awesome boning knife when I'm butchering an elk or moose.

I've seen the commercials for the teflon coated Bubba Blades, can you buy them in stores or just on-line?

I use a Kershaw with the 9.25" blade. Love that knife, flexible and cuts a real nice filet. Long enough for the bigger fish too. It does get a touch of surface rust in spots...but all and all a great knife for parting a slab! (thinner blade too, great for that belly cut!)
For gutting and cleaning, nothing beats the chepo bright orange handle with the spoon at the end...Stevensons has them the cheapest I've seen at about $4 each.
