Fillet-a-whale
Well, it would still be slow but this 9" J. Marttiini might work. It's signed and a 9" blade, not total length. Hope y'all like the pic.

Very cool. It's hard to beat those old J. Martini fillet knives.

Re: Fillet-a-whale
Nice one! Those Marttini filet knives are hard to beat. My ex-brother-in-law used to have one that really got a workout in the summer months.He worked his father's charter boat just about every weekend and it wasn't unusual for him to fillet a couple hundred blues and whatever else the customers happened to bring up.
I have a few fillet knives but I'm no good at using them.

Re: Fillet-a-whale
My wife used to work cutting fish in a commercial fish plant in Newport Oregon, many years ago.
She filleted halibut, ling cod, rock fish, tuna, salmon and anything else they put on the line.
She can fillet a mess of bass in no time at all. She also is an excellent seafood cook.
I will have to see if I can find her old Dexter fillet knife, it is worn down to nearly a toothpick.
She likes stiff fillet knives, not the flexible ones. She says she can get more meat off the fish with a stiffer fillet knife.
I found her old Dexter. Lousy picture but it is night and this is the best I could do indoors.
Not a lot of blade left on this knife!
