Started a fillet knife (finished)

<< < (4/5) > >>

swamp yeti:
My yeti will wrestle you for it.That is a pretty fillet knife.

Danzn Bar:
Really nice knife... What type of fish does your friend usually catch??  Fresh or saltwater??

Cardboard_Duck:
Thanks, this was a fun one to make. It does have some flex but not as much as I'd like I guess. I'm starting to think that 0-1 tool steel was a bad choice for this type of knife, but I lack the experience to know any better  :o He mostly fishes inland, but hits the gulf coast sometimes.

It took an edge nicely though, but it took about an hour to get it... I went to wipe the blade off on my shirt and it cut through it like there was nothing there... last time I do that!

Oh well, I did show it to my brother and now he wants one like it, but 3/32" instead of 1/16" for a skinner. So I should be posting up one similar soon.

Pappy:
Very nice work,looks like it should work well on fish. :)
