Dexter-Russell for me.

Best tool for the job comes down to technique eh? Curved blades like on the cimiter seem to be pretty slick for the spine down/butterfly method where ribs stay on the carcass. I prefer to cut the filet off of the spine and then de-rib. A straight blade is really the only way to go for that approach.

I like the 9" thin bladed one for kings, and the 8" thicker bladed model for general purpose.
