I have been using Rapala fillet knives for 45 years and have always been happy with them. rapala.com

I have probably 6-7 of the Rapala knives all of which belonged to my grandfather. They’re all well used and effective. I have a Bubba blade 9” fillet knife and it’s awesome. My buddy bought a super nice one in Minnesota on our boundary waters trip. I’ll see if I can get the name of the knife maker he got it from. It’s art.

Depends on what he's cutting I suppose. I had a Cutco one for years that was OK, but too soft/limber. I've got a couple Victorinox knives that I really like now, different knives foe different purposes. A good worksharp sharpener and I keep them factory sharp.

I'll second the bubba knives, I've gotten a 7 and 9 inch as gifts and use the 7 a ton, especially for breaking down deer/elk and trimming silver skin. I have had a rappala forever and it's fine, great for the price, but the bubba's always get used now. If you're looking for something a little nicer as a gift, go with the bubba. If lower cost is a priority, rapalas are great.

Victorinox 40634
10" for me.
Stiffer blade then the whimpy fillet knives.
I keep mine razor sharp and it is a fish filleting machine.

Kinda depends on use.
But you can't go wrong with victorinox, Dexter, or Knives of Alaska.
At least an 8" blade.

Some of the showier display knives which would be more apt for Christmas gifts are sometimes a bit stiffer than the practical ones which tend to be more flexible. Watch the blade material if thinking saltwater use. Lots of good ones to choose from. Knives are awesome Christmas gifts.

No longer produced, Coleman Western was the best general purpose. I have a set (6", 9" & 12") that I've been using for over 25 years.

I roll with Kershaw.
Fillet probably 50 salmon a year and sharpen it maybe twice a year.
