223 Silver Creek Fillet

Super sharp, excellent foe cleaning fish

What a filler knife should be. Beautiful. Sharp. Balanced.

I got this knife to process deer. Just like any other buck knife it is razor sharp. I like the flex of the blade and it is an around a solid knife.

nice filet knife, buck always makes a good product, stayed sharp for awhile but had to resharpen it as you have to do with any knife, the handle feels very good as well.

I bought the longer one for my fishing and now also use it for butchering deer. My son in law needed one, so I purchased him one as well. Blade flexes well for getting around bone and seems to hold an edge well as long as it isn't abused too much. I took off one star because it isn't the easiest thing to clean with those notches in the handle

This is a classic brand for a reason. Their knives are consistently reliable. A fillet knife needs to be sharp and precise, and this one delivers. You can feel the quality in the construction. It's definitely a worthwhile investment for any fishing enthusiast.

I personally really like this knife.-The knife is a good length for most of the fish I clean, though it is a little small for a large or particularly thick bodied fish (California Sheepshead for example).-The blade is stiffer than on most fillet knives, which is a good thing in my book. I have had a tendency to warp knives in the past, this I think will last a long time.-The handle fits my hand very well and does not slip even when covered in fish slime.-The blade is very sharp, and holds an edge well. It also takes an edge nicely.Issues-The string is just an unecessary addition that soaks up blood, slime and nasty in my view. Makes it hard to feel like the knife is ever "clean".-The sheath would be useless to attach to a belt, but I always have it in my dive bag or backpack anyways so it does its job.Overall I am quite pleased with it. Out of the Silver Creek set this is my favorite and most used by far.

Crazy sharp
