ill second that buffalo! my cousin had his finnaly give out, this last salmon season. it was 6 or 8 years old and believe me it had a hard life. lol im sure it cleaned over a pickup bed full of salmon fillets, let alone all the rest of the fish. great knife buy and use it like you own it. the blade speed and length is a big plus in its cutting ability. it peels fish meat like a razor. much better than the rapala i have.
