Re: Need a fillet knife recommendation
As a deckhand on a party boat i personally prefer to use a 1378 for everything. However a brand new 1378 off the shelf is only good as a bait knife until it is worn down a bit. Its just too sharp and doesnt have the edge on it that im used to using. A 2333-9 is a great knife for flat fish and smaller species like seabass, ling, porgies. For the bigger fish like bass tho the 2333-9 just doesnt have the backbone in it to break thru rib bones and other things. As a safe bet get both and see for yourself which one u prefer for which. Also if not used everyday make sure to rinse and then wipe down with oil so they dont rust as they are high carbon steel and will rust if not oiled.
