Kershaw 7.5" Narrow Fillet Fishing Knife 1247X vs Kershaw 9" Fillet Knife 1259

You get what you pay for, expect a cheap-ish knife. The edge dulls quick, and even chipped on some bones while cutting meat. Not much use with it, and there’s 2 little chunks of the edge that look folded over or chipped off. Maybe just stick to filleting easy pieces of fish or something

It rusts almost immediately. It is stainless steel but cheap and won’t hold up. It rusted after the first use. Of course you can scrub the rust off

this knife does not hold its edge, dull after 1 small walley, my rapala is much better for 10 bucks. thesheath comes off easiliy inside my gear bag and i nearly sliced my hand open and the return policy is crap, i have to pay shipping and new packaging?? I clean lots of fish and this knife is crap don't buy it..

Don’t get me wrong this is a good blade. I primarily use it to cut out the belly bones and skinning fillets. And for this it shines. If you use it to cut through bones or thick skin just make sure you have a steel to touch up the blade

This knife does all of that exceedingly well! It came extremely sharp and after many uses I still haven't had to sharpen it yet. The sheath is simple and snug fitting. No signs of rust or staining after several times in the dishwasher. Great value!

I purchased this as a replacement for a wood handled fillet knife that I lost along with my tackle box. My expectations were low due to the low price of this product. I was pleasantly surprised by the sharpness and durability of the knife. It could stand to have a bit more flex in the blade, hence the 4 star rating instead of the 5, but other than that it has performed well for 2 seasons of fishing both salt and fresh water
