Zuma:
What kind of fish are you going to filliet?
I like a stiffer blade for big Drum and Sheephead.
I use my hunting knife.

Catfish, largemouth bass, bluegill and trout

mullet:
Nine and a half is too small down here if you are fishing salt water but should work for our Pan fish.

mcginnis6010:
Well i don't plan on fishing saltwater anytime soon so I think the length is fine but I think I wanna narrow the tip some to give it a bit more flex. I'll post more pics of it as I progress.

mcginnis6010:
OK i finally had time to finish the fillet knife. I made the handle from some curly maple logs I had laying around and now I just need to figure out if I wanna stain it or leave it natural. The second pic is to show how thin the blade is.
