Great knife for the money
My first impression of this knife what that it was flimsy and wouldn't hold up. HOWEVER, after using this knife on my surf-fishing trip, I am thoroughly pleased with this knife and could not ask for a better knife for what I used it for and for what it costs. At $7 this was the PERFECT bait and filet knife to carry on my OBX surf fishing trip. While I bought it as a throw-away knife that I don't care about getting rusted or lost, I found myself carefully sharpening, cleaning, and oiling this knife when I got back. It performed beautifully cutting bait, fileting fish, cutting line/leaders and anything else I asked. And it's foldable which means I can put it in my pocket without fear of poking or cutting myself. I would highly recommend this knife to any fisherman. ORIGINAL REVIEW BEFORE USE-- It's hard to complain much about a $7 filet knife, I knew I wasn't buying a super quality knife. BUT, this knife just isn't going to cut it (pardon my pun). My main complaint with the knife is that the metal backbone of the handle only extends about half-way down the handle, leaving the bottom half of the plastic handle VERY flimsy. The plastic of the handle is already thin but it has sufficient strength where the metal locking mechanism supports it. The bottom half feels like it's going to collapse and makes the knife feel very dangerous, especially under any pressure. I would not recommend. Read more
