Subject: The *best* knife for cutting fish into bait...
From:

NOYB, I have a Kershaw fillet knife that is VERY flexible, (the reason
I bought it), but like you, it just doesn't hold that razor edge like
I thought it should, seeing how it's not a cheap knife. I took it to
my local knife dealer, had it re-ground, and it didn't help. Still
will not hold the honed edge well.

Cheap, as in higher carbon stainless steel knifes, often hold a better edge
than ones made of high grade stainless.
