golfprocrappieman you sure are right about the filet knifes. The first one I used was my parents electric carving knife from around 1960. It did great and none of the filet knifes I have bought have filet fish better. I am using a American Angler right now but that old carving knife was better. It was made of real metal too. Imagine that something made of metal with metal gears. LOL.
