I have watched many of tuna cutting videos and yes cool sharp knives
If you get one be careful not to cut more bone than the fish

I think it all boils down to how good your abilities are to use the steel, based on the feedback the blade is giving you.

Same as any other knife.

You're good? You'll do well.

You stink? You're going to ruin stuff bigtime and potentially need two hands to order four beers.

looks like an ulu knife from the Canadian North. I have one and yes it does a good job filleting, stays sharpe for a long time.

Alaska Ulu Knives or the likes

The Alaskan Uu Knife has a history of more than 5,000 years. Starting with the Yupik, Aleut, and Inuit cultures in Alaska, Greenland, and Canada. It was created to be a knife for all purposes of typical day-to-day tasks of their communities. Originally, it was mostly used by women to skin animals and clean their meat before cooking, trim big chunks of ice, cut different foods, cut their kid's hair, and even as a weapon.

Everything You Need to Know About The Ulu Knife

Without a doubt, the ulu knife is still used in prestigious kitchens around the world. Let’s learn a little bit more about this transcendental culinary tool.

dalstrong.com

An Ulu Knife is a curved knife of Eskimo origin. Several kitchen knives can be used to work with meats, such as a Chef’s Knife, a Slicing Knife, a Butcher Knife or a Cleaver Knife. These are traditional knives but an ulu knife has a curved and thin crescent-shaped blade perfectly made to get the best results when cutting meats, vegetables, and many other ingredients.

Seems a bit much for an 8" perch. The internet must be run by fishermen judging by the " embellishment " I see. But I have 6 or 8 knives now so 1 more might be good.

There are more reasonable size Deba style Japanese knifes used for fish, they re usually made of high carbon steel and also sharpened from only one side. I have one, I use it to cut through a laker spline, the top part of a blade is 6 mm wide so it is a heavy knife, excellent to cut fish into steaks.

I bought one of the large 12" Bubba Blades for taking the sides off bigger eyes , bows. salmon, etc. I carve right through the ribs taking the whole fillet off then debone after..easier to handle a big fish. It works well..other than the steel used in the Bubba is kinda crappy and needs sharpening frequently.

Whatever you do, don’t go to www.knifetoronto.com… I made the mistake and now I’m hooked on Japanese knives..

They are sooooo sharp if you look at them sideways you will bleed… amazing blades and I sharpen mine once every 2 years. He sharpens them by hand for 10 bucks.

No poop… they are sharper than a razor blade and hold an edge. The Mcusta boning knife is my go-to

IS YOURS A MCUSTA BONING DAMASCUS FLAME 165MM (6.5")? IF SO THAT KNIFE SELLS FOR OVER $300CAD. I GUESS THAT'S WHY YOU ONLY HAVE TO SHARPEN IT ONCE EVERY 2 YEARS!

Mcusta Boning Damascus Flame is a looker. 33 layers of softer and stainless Damascus steel resemble a flame spreading from the bottom to the tip of the blade, giving every knife a unique look. The core of this knife is made of great performing, easy to resharpen, VG-10 steel.

That’s the one…… it’s actually simply stupid when compared to a rapala or any other blade. It will not dull.

It’s stupid prices but,,, you simply touch the blade you bleed…. You first get one you wanna sit with it and look at it. They are gorgeous . When you are done looking,,, you need 8 bandages..

I got the pocket knife for “bleeding” walleye…. It will take a 20 inchers head off by accident

Haven’t even had to sharpen the “bleeder”. Clips onto a pocket and flips out faster than a stiletto… handy as all heck

Now I may go back for another knife this week. Simply addictive

@FlyingViking I need your job to pay for these toys....LOL..

@FlyingViking I need your job to pay for these toys....LOL..

“working from boat”, sir…

 

[Centerspin]

Hey Flying Wiking, nice knife Mine doesnt flip but haven't been sharpened either. About 12 yr old, use it mostly on rainbows.

 

[hvyhaul]

The Mcusta boning knife looks to be a very similar shape to my Shun Premier boning knife.

It's a gift, but still, one mid $200 knife is enough in the collection for me.

 

[FlyingViking]

It takes a dull mind to get hooked on sharp knives!

just saying. There are top notch knives out there for under 40 bucks… but if you get hooked on the knife side…. The Japanese stuff is like fisherman porn!

Stay away from the hobby

 

[Centerspin]

One of my favourites is a $1.99 7" fillet knife with purple plastic handle from a surplus store in Kitchener. It holds edge much better then a rapala

 

[hvyhaul]

This year my trip south will also be to pick up recommended items to property take care of the knives I have.

Even this isn't cheap, hell I might even toss in a couple of classes. LOL

Here's a $2 knife, posting it for Get Hooked.
