YES I highly recommend the little 4inch Rapala {Wooden Handle } at Walmart. Stays sharp and is the best filleting knife I've own. About 8.00
I'm buying one payday. I've made a lot but....nothing beats filleting bluegills than one of those babies. Real nice knife.

I agree with Chuck, those knife's are handy to have around!!! My mom has one just to use around the kitchen. My uncle spends like $15 for a electric knives made for sliceing bread. Run them until the burn up and go buy another. They work good and are cheap.
schrade makes a nice fileting knife. non slip handle, flexible blade and it holds an edge. the blade is 8" i think

I will second that one they make a great knife. Ive filleted hundreds of crappie and never had to sharpen it other then a little honing with a beaver stone now then.

RE: filet knvies???
I often fillet a bucket or two of bluegills and a few crappie especially in the winter. I use an electric fillet knife for the task. I do own a Rapala 4" to cut out the belly bones afterI slab the gill. I can usuallyfillet about 3 to 4 per minute with the electric knife.
