Read the back of the package and avoid the Chinese Rap's and stick with the originals.

Dexter Russel, I’ve cleaned around 100,000 fish just in the past 2 years with the two knifes I have now. An 8 in to take em off the sides and a 9 to take the skin off, little more flex in the 9, I’ve worn a thumb groove on the top of the handle of one lol. Knifes are strong steel, I just use the accu sharp quick sharpen things and they cut like butter every time. There only like $15 That is the key IMO. Accept no substitute... https://www.walmart.com/ip/AccuSharp-Knife-and-Tool-Sharpener/16661762

I quite like a Deba for small to medium size fish ..... thats 1 to 20 pounds. I also find myself just using my chef knife a lot of the time. Here is the disclaimer though. all my knives are sharp. No matter what you use, if it ain't sharp, its not going to work well. I have shown some hobby fishing guys that I can filet a fish better and faster with the forest axe I carry in the truck then they can with their fancy fillet knives. Because a lot of those folks cant sharpen a knife. I see that here most days at the fish cleaning station in the marina. I should offer a knife sharpening service i guess

Electric fillet knife is great for production work when I come home from Lake Erie with a bunch of walleyes and perch.
In the electrics, I prefer the Rapala cordless rechargeable, then the Rapala kit set up for both 12volt and 110, then the mister twister 110 volt model. The Rapala blades have a better shape and are sharper.
After using the electric, I clean up and split the fillets with a regular fillet knife.
A fillet knife is perfect to remove the breast meat from Canada geese and wild turkeys.

What scuba said about sharp knives. I bought a bass pro brand knife a while back. No clue who makes it. I really like it. Non slip rubbery handle. Lots better than wood or hard plastic. Blade is black not shiny. Was sharp when I got it. Didn't take much to get it truly sharp. I've cleaned a lot of fish with it and so far only touched it up with a butchers steel. Haven't had to resharpen it.

I sure like dexter russel poultry knives for pelting. They make one now with a blaze orange handle for when you leave it on the side of your pick up bed after pelting a coyote. Makes it lot easier to find it again. You can do a LOT of pelting with one just touching up with a butchers steel before they need resharpened on a stone.

ive got an old made in America shrade fillet knife. wont hold an edge at all. Thats weird, I have bought and sold/gifted more than 50 of them over the years and never had a problem sharpening them,or with edge holding ability. If it hasnt been destroyed by a grinder or worksharp belt sander you can quite easily sell them- lots of people want them.
