I was talking about filetting fish, and an older gentleman I work with said that he had a 40-50 year old filet knife that he used to love. He no longer fishes, so he gave it to me.
Apparently, they sold 40 million of these in the last 50 years.
Yep... The Rapala Marttiini filet knife.
This is the old style, with wood handle, and brass on the end. And the engraving is early as well, with just the Finland. Later ones said Hard ground stainless, or swedish.... The new ones, I hear are made in China (shocking).
It's at least as good as the $20 filet knife I bought at Neuse Sport shop a couple of years ago. This one really takes a good edge.
Now I need to get out there and see how it cuts fish!
