choosing the knife

[tomgarc]

Hello guys,
My parents live in Nashville. Father likes fishing. I thought about Christmas presents for them… I would like to order a fixed blade knife for him as a present. What manufacturers make good knives? What knife do you have? Share your feedbacks,
thanks

What is the knife to be used for? At first I assumed you were talking fillet knife since this is the fishing forum but wanted to make sure.

Bubba blade

Bubba blade is good if its for filleting. A good all around fixed blade knife would be a buck classic 102. Its not too big or too small, good steel, holds an edge, and easy to sharpen.

Mister twister cordless is pretty sweet. Just sayin

X2. Mine is an older green handle version.

You've had that for awhile. I've had mine for 20+ years (black handle). I send it in to get sharpened every 2-4 years and they almost always send it back with a new blade. I do sharpen it myself, but it forms a hump from me almost never needing it at full length.

 

[spottedbass]

I always use mine at full length because of the huge fish I have to filet (NOT!!). I did have to extend it out one time to filet a red fish I caught.

 

[JimFromTN]

Mine is about 20 years old. They may have replaced the green handle with the orange handle. Mine was about half the price they are now.

I just bought a Ka-Bar. Didn't know they made a fillet knife and I haven't used it yet but it has a great feel with what seems to be good steel also. I think it's going to be a good blade and American made.

for strickly fileting fish, I would us an electric filet knife... I finally had a friend talk me into using one and WOW... so much easier....
