    I ordered two of these based on the reviews. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxqmKabisEv81ul5v7OhvVxxOpt2CJruI- Received them on time and they look good. I really like the handle on these knives as they feel good in my hand. I'm giving them 4 stars on look and feel, but have not had the chance to put them to the test yet. I mostly fish for catfish and can hopefully try them out in the next few days. If they hold an edge throughout a limit of catfish, they'll be worth another star.Update...I used the 9" strong and the 9" fillet on a mess of catfish. I did put a sharpening on these before I started. I want a razor edge to fillet fish but they weren't quite that sharp. The people who gave these knives crappy reviews and said they were sending them back was because they weren't razor sharp. So what, do they not have a knife sharpener?? Good grief! I mean you have to sharpen any knife from time to time.I personally like them and am pleased with them. If you're too lazy to sharpen a knife then hire someone to clean your fish lol.I've never bought a knife in my life that would shave hair right out of the box. Don't be afraid to purchase the knives. They're pretty nice in my opinion.

    When I began eating meat and fish again since being a 5-year veggie, I promised myself to not be in ignorance as to the whole experience of eating meat; from farm to table.
    This summer, a challenge for me is to catch, fillet, and prepare a fish in a full circle of respect and gratitude for the nourishment this life will give me. I'm time-framing it to my two weeks at the cottage this fri. Will report back, and now I have no excuse that I don't know how to fillet a fish.

    I plan on catching all sorts of fish while I’m there and taking them to my brother for the holidays. Wish me luck :) I think I’m looking forward to filleting them more than I am catching them now

    One tip for filleting the fish is, when you go over the backbone with the knife, move your knife downwards to get the meat on the other side
    This minimizes meat wastage

    Is there anything you can do with the leftovers, like making sauce foundation or soup from it? Or is that rather ill advised?

      you can cut out a nice piece out of the cheeks of the fish, its really tender meat. however, its a very small amount of flesh. you can also crush the bones and when they are a powder they could be added in a soup or something to add a lot of calcium. the flesh above and under the spine is full of bones but you can scrape of a lot of meat from those bones. the meat you got from that could be made into fish soup or sauce. you can also put the leftovers in soup and it will cook the flesh off the bones. then you can filter the bones out. maybe This helpt you a bit.

    Which specific knife are you using to do the filleting? The brand looks like Zwilling but which model of knife is it?

    I was wondering what you did with Scales this time? Maybe made some Scales head soup?
