Knife for trimming fat

[Fadetoblack188]

I am looking for a knife that’s good for cleaning up my venison. One that can trim that fat and silver skin off.

what do you recommend without breaking the bank

eh...any filet knife...I've used cheap walmart knives and currently have a Leech Lake Fillet Knife (gift). a sharp fillet knife is the ticket.

So like my dexter russel fillet knifes can do the trick

Need a flexible knife. Filet knife works and I've used a boning knife before also.

yeah depending on flex...Ive used cheap rapala knives.

Agreed on the dexter fillet.. Nice thing with those are they are affordable so you can snag a variety and have some for specific duties. We have a restaurant supply store in town I hit the bargain rack at.

I suck at sharpening knives so I use a havalon piranta for this.

Dexter Russell 7in fillet knife is what I use. I love that knife and use it for basically everything fish, meat and kitchen related.

Ok been cutting meat since I was 8 and im in my 50's . My father, grandfather and great grandfather all butchers . If it has China on the label its crap !! They dont hold an edge . I agree with some of the other posts. Dexter and Victorinox are good . My opinion German steel . Check out Pro Source for a decent knife for the money the Ultrasource stuff has been decent . Plus buy a good steel. Dexter also makes a great quick sharpener , i always have it with me on my hunting trips . Hope this helps

I really like using my bubba fillet knife.

I use and love my havalon with fillet blade. They are replaceable blade but I haven’t had to change my blade for the last 5 deer I processed. I just sharpen it with a fine sharpener and a steel and it keeps the edge well. I’d recommend it to anyone.

2nd the Havalon fillet knife. Takes 10 swipes a side to touch up with a fine steel as mentioned above.
