      A quality fillet knife makes cleaning fish a simple task after a day of fishing. The knife must have a sharp edge to cut through skin, meat and even the bone. Any old knife from the kitchen probably isn’t going to cut it. Anglers catching offshore gamefish require more power than an angler catching crappie or trout. Keep that in mind when searching for a fillet knife; find one with strength, length and sharpness.
