also keep one of these on the boat so you arent tempted to use your fillet knife for breaking down bait or other boat tasks.

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

I have a Cutco but if i was a better fisherman or wanted a new knife Id have to try that Victorinox

The best part about the Victorinox breaking knife is it only cost about $35.

Fungunnin, you are an artist with that knife, and I learned a trick or two watching the video.  Old dog, new...

Lots of nice looking knives. Surprised to not see any with a spoon to clean out the blood inside the cavity under the "spine".

I actually bought a "bearded blades" custom Damascus steel knife this year. The thing was sharp when I got it and hasn't lost it's edge yet. I filleted a lot of fish this this year with it and highly recommend it. The guy who builds them is a vet and gives a tin of money back through TFO.

Works great on blackcod too....

Don't know if they still make them Coleman, I've been using a set for years 6", 9"and 12". Hold a good edge just enough backbone to work. Gave some out as X-mas gifts to the cousins who guide in Canada they are still using them.

Great video Fungunnin.  It is aptly titled.  The meat loss was ridiculously low.  Thanks for sharing.  Your multiple cuts at the spine is something I am going to try out.

With a sharp flexible filet knife you can go in on the back and cut slab and leave bones in one motion.  Twice as quick though not always as pretty.

And makes a nice blade

That is the method I was taught and have always used as well.  As far as knives.  I still use my dad's old Case.  It's not made for production, but it can be sharpened to a razors edge and can double as a boning knife.
