Fillet Knife

[Billy V]

I seem to remember seeing a thread about fillet knives somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. I'm in the market to buy a new knife, and I think I'm leaning towards a Forschner. Just not sure which model. What do you guys recommend?

yeah bill i started that thread but i cant find it? Forchner was one that was recommended. I would think the 10 or 12 would be great!

I have the 10" Cimeter. Makes short work of big kings: http://www.cadcutlery.com/butcher.htm

Billy, being a chef and all, I recommend Forschner's to all my cooks and the people that come to my cooking classes looking for a decent knife for two reasons they are good knives and aren't over priced by any means. I use one for all my steak cutting at the restaurant. Put a steel to it every time before use and hit it with a stone ever once and awhile and your golden

A Forschner it is! I'll check out the links you suggested and order either a 10" or 12" knife.

Thanks guys.

If you're in a hurry Screwie Louie also sells them.

Wanted to give you guys an update on the knife. I got the 10" Forschner Cimeter and used it for the first time yesterday. What a great knife! I've never been able to fillet Kings that fast before. I'm delighted with it and would recommend it to anyone who's looking.

Thanks guys for the advice.

Bill,

We have the 12" Forschenr Cimeter model and love it. Guppy picked up the same knife and told me he has no regrets buying it. I don't know if the 2" difference is noticeable but they do make short work of those big kings.

A 2" difference is a BIG difference.

Just ask my wife.
