I keep a nice sharp hatchet and a serrated dive knife around for that. The
dive knife is handy to strap to your leg while going through locks.

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.

The secret to keeping an edge on a knife: clean the knife with soap and
water after you use it, dry it, and then touch up the edge with a good
ceramic or steel sharpener.

Even if you don't fish, you should keep a good, sharp knife on board.
There will come a time when you have to cut a line in a hurry, and if
you have that good knife around, you'll be able to do it.
