steaking knives

Since Christmas is right around the corner...I would like to know of a great fish steaking knife that cuts through the bone with ease.

I use and like very much a knife that I learned about from some of the Astoria Sturgeon Guides. It is an ICEL, made in Portugal by Edge Resources, Inc. You can get them at a Restaurant/knife supply house in Clackamass, Hyw 212, just past the Colonial Office Complex on the south side. Can't remember the name. About $25-$30. Absolutely a great knife.

IF you want GREAT knives, try the CUTCO series. I came home from Alaska this summer and all our heinkles were gone. My wife gave them away (damn good knives) and bought a set from a company called CUTCO. I'd never heard of them, but my Mom and Aunts all said they were good. Well, my wife got me thier fillet knife with the rest of the set and it is the best holding edge I've ever tried. It cuts through bone (knife is not flimsy) with ease. I filleted out and steaked up over 50 silvers, 11 kings and, and two doz. albacore last fall before i sharpened it. I know how many, because I was pissed about my old set being given away and was trying to prove a point to my wife (I've never learned). Anyhow, the fillet knife is about 45 bucks, the rest of their knive are pretty incredible also. They have a lifetime sharpening policy. Send them in (guess I'll use it for the serrated) and they send them back with a new edge on them. Worth looking into...they might have something that would be a perfect match for what purpose you want it for.

I agree with Chuck N Duck, the Cutco knives are exceptional! I've got the whole set for home use as well as the "Fisherman" model which has the serrated edge, and it will cut through bones with ease. I've used this knife for almost 9 years now and haven't needed to sharpen it yet, although I am going to send it in soon. The handles on these knives have grips that work very well when you've got slippery/slime covered hands too.

Cutco knives are not, usually sold in retail shops, although I think I did see some once in one of those specialty knife stores like you find in the shopping malls.

Thanks..I will have to check those knives from CUTCO.
