KastKing Folding Fillet Fishing Camping Hunting Knife, Razor Sharp G4116 German Stainless-Steel Blade, Non-Slip Handles, (13 ½,7 ½ in)

Wow! This knife is sharp! Husband loves it for fileting and cleaning fish.

Perfect filleting knife to put in your backpack for some good times fishing

The pictures show this knife side-by-side with my beloved folding Buck brand knife that has accompanied me on multiple trips to the Canadian wilderness. They both have very comfortable rubberized grips, but I really like the contoured shape of the KastKing knife better. The Buck knife is build like a tank and weighs almost an ounce more than the KastKing, so only time will tell if the KastKing can withstand the abuse the Buck knife has over the years. It seems sturdy for as lightweight as it is. One major plus of the KastKing knife is that it comes with a very durable sheath with thick Velcro closure and a big accommodating belt loop on the back. I don't plan to carry this knife on my side, but it will definitely find itself attached to the outside of a backpack! We keep our fillet knife tucked away in a pack so it doesn't get lost - a nightmare on a 10 day wilderness trip when you eat fish daily - but the option to keep this knife safely external on a pack is going to be a nice alternative that I look forward to. As for cutting ability - I have not tested it, yet. In my experience, fillet knives all hold a sharp edge - its just a matter of how well the edge holds up to filleting pike and big lake trout day after day. My Buck knife uses 420J2 steel - which is pretty much crap for a fillet knife though extremely corrosion resistant. I have gotten good at sharpening it over the years though it is not fun. This Kastking is 416 stainless - which is superior to 420J2. The KastKing knife also has a slightly thinner blade, which makes it more flexible and easier to work with. This was not intended to be a comparison of 2 knives, but it seemed to be a easy way to review a knife I only recently bought as I have LOVED my Buck knife over the years and have even given several away as presents. But this KastKing at 30% cheaper, lighter, more portable, and made of superior steel is my new knife of choice.

Nice flexible fillet knife that folds compact with textured handle. Orange makes it easy to spot! Feels good in hand while using it.

This is a decent quality larger fillet knife. nice and sharp right out of the box and got even sharper with a few minutes on the strop. Big enough to process larger fish and would work on steelhead and smaller Salmon no problem. Lockback is a little stiff out of the box but I think it will loosen up with use. comes with a decent nylon carry case and would double duty as a decent food prep knife while camping. I would buy again.
