I use a Kershaw ProGrade 9.5 inch. Works great. Don't think they make it anymore. But you could still probably find it.

Bubba Knife has been a good one.  Filleted about 60 salmon with it over the summer.  Other option is to get a professional grade one.  They use better steel and they hold a better edge.  You get good cuts on the fish.

I’ve had one of these for a long time. Fileted lots of salmon when I had my boat. Now it’s still my go to knive fir all kinds of things including carving big bird during the holidays, and, cutting up the local deer I get. Reasonably priced, holds an edge well, and the sharpener in the sheath actually works

Been filleting salmon for over 50 years and the knife pictured is way the best for me, fast, much cleaner smooth perfect cuts, etc. 

I learned from watching a guide friend that for me and for him, a long blade that is curved is way better for filleting any fish than skinny straight ones, which I had used for years.  If I replaced this Kershaw pictured, it would be with an even longer curved commercial salmon fisherman knife of the same shape only bigger and longer.  The long blade lies flat against a lot of ribs at once and curved blades just always cut meat better for me. 

I do like usual fish fillet knives for certain cuts when boning out deer and elk etc.

I cut 95% of my fish with a Victorinox 8" breaking knife. Takes an edge easily, holds it well, has some flex but not a noodle.
This is my favorite salmon fillet technique at about 3/4 speed.

Excellent!  Did you notice the shape and size of the blade he was using in the video?

Thats interesting. Thanks for posting the video and the comments about a curved knife guys.
