Folding Fillet Knife

The knife 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.

Got the item very fast a few weeks ago, but I wanted to wait to use it and then leave a review.Yesterday and was finally able to use it on a fish, it was so nice and compact to carry it around, I cut bait with it and then fillet, I was lucky I caught a nice fish and it is so sharp that I could use it to cut thin slices for sashimi. Kastking is on fire with innovative products, can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Impressed! I’m a knife guy, live knives and have a lot. I wanted a folding filet for my tackle bag and for $20 and good reviews I bought this. Very impressed for $20! Razor sharp with perfect edge along whole blade, slight flex as expected for a thin filet knife but very solid at the fold with little flex at the joint. Quality!Haven’t used yet, will report back to see how long it holds a blade and how it re sharpens.

Very ,Very , nice build. Sturdy . The sheath sucks . But the folding lock blade is EXCELLENT !!!!!! Came sharp , but a little touch up and it's scary sharp. 100% worth every dime paid for it. If they had made a decent holster for it. They would have a bestseller , I'm telling you. The knife is Fantastic. Great for fishing or hunting . It's solid as a rock . Love mine !!!! I'll have to get a leather sheath made for it though. Why do great knives always have crappy sheaths ? Peace

No need for pictures item came just as pictured in advertisement. On second note I didn't buy this knife for fileting fish. I bought it for self protection. It fits slimy into my pocket is light weight and a blade that can allow for intimidation to be a factor in self defense encounters. It's sharp could be sharper but that's perspective it cuts and continues to cutting straight out of the box. Good knife great price would buy again but as long as I don't lose it I won't have to cause it's that good.

My first folding filet knife.
Makes for a compact storage in your pocket or in a backpack pouch.
Works just as well as a normal filet knife if not better.
