I just use cheap ones. Just make sure they are sharp.

Though I don't often fillet a lot of fish, mainly only ever do gummies, maybe the odd whiting and flathead occasionally.

I mainly use 2-3 knifes. Got a 8 inch mora for filleting. Razor sharp love that knife. Got a 5 inch martini very flexible for boning out. Than have a 8 inch heavy dexter almost a boning knife for bashing through heavy bones etc. Than just use cheap jarvis walker knifes for fining gummies etc also double as bait knifes that way good knifes stay good. A good quality knife should last you a bloody long time!

I have a couple of Martiini knives but my favourite is a Japanese Deba; not flexible like the Martiini's but easy to use. https://www.bighospitality.co.uk/Articl ... deba-knife
