Default The *best* knife for cutting fish into bait...

Dexter Russell is the choice of all the folks around here in the industry,

look at it wrong... be careful!

This is an offset "bread knife" by Henckels, but there are other
manufacturers who put out a similar knife. The offset handle makes a big
difference when you are trying to slice off nice sized "steak" chunks of
bait from a bait fish, and the blade is very, very sharp and serrated.

Sometimes you can find these knives for about $20 new on eBay.

Oh...makes a great tool for steaking out kingfish mackeral. Much better
for that purpose than even a good fillet knife.

Best fillet knife: a Henckels Four Star boning knife, between 5-1-2 and
7-1/2 inches long. Sharp as a razor, flexible and easy to maintain.


Yeah, sometimes I fish to catch fish.

Dexter-Russell is the big time supplier of knives to the commercial
fishing industry. Typically, they have the white poly handles. The
commercial knives are very good.
