Kershaw Pro grade fillet knives reviews? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I used to work in a fish market most of our knives were either Dexters or forschners. For the larger fish i prefered forschners. for the smaller fish that required a more flexable blade I used the dexter.

Kershaw is not good enough steel.

Forshner 8" Breaking Knife, and the Forshner 6" Boning Knife can do it all.

Including filleting the skin off.
-------------------------------
Dexter Russell are also good knives in the same sizes, and are a little less money.

My folding kershaw never held an edge and eventually rusted out inside. Dint know about their fillet knives but I know forshner boning knives do great at just about everything when it comes to big game.
