I have a custom fillet knife that I bought about 25 years ago. The maker is long gone. I love how this cuts when I can get an edge on it.
But that is the problem. This thing is so thin that it is reallllllllllllly hard to get the first inch of the blade sharp. I usually have to take it to one of the gun shows and have someone with the belt sanders to sharpen it.
While they can get it sharper than I can, it still will not shave hair. I am almost ready to send it to someone to get it sharp for me. Or to just let them have it. The blade is SS. Although it flexes like crazy, it is really tough to work. I feel it might be me also to why the knife can't get sharp. But I can sharpen an axe to shave with, SOOOOO????
So, other than sending it off, what are some really good knives?
