Really nice knife... What type of fish does your friend usually catch??  Fresh or saltwater??

Thanks, this was a fun one to make. It does have some flex but not as much as I'd like I guess. I'm starting to think that 0-1 tool steel was a bad choice for this type of knife, but I lack the experience to know any better  He mostly fishes inland, but hits the gulf coast sometimes.

It took an edge nicely though, but it took about an hour to get it... I went to wipe the blade off on my shirt and it cut through it like there was nothing there... last time I do that!

Oh well, I did show it to my brother and now he wants one like it, but 3/32" instead of 1/16" for a skinner. So I should be posting up one similar soon.

Sure! I can try to make you one. I just need to find a steel that has some more flex to it. I have never tried stainless, but maybe it's time to learn
