Bait Knife

[Odyssey]

Recommendations please for a good bait knife. My cheapo mustard one is broke, the other fell overboard on last trip...

Any good ones for a good price? 🤔😊

No such thing as a decent bait knife. 
do what @Andy135 does, just buy a cheap kitchen devil knife and replace when needed. I found it surprisingly sharp.

As Neil says, I've moved over to treating bait knives as disposable items. I found a Kitchen Devil knife in my local Sainsbury's for £3.50. Painfully sharp and cheap enough to not worry if it goes overboard.

Hmmm sounds like plan 

hopefully I won’t look dodgy with a handful of knives and avoid being arrested 🤣

# me too 

I buy knifes from kitchen utensils shops use them a few months then sling them . About £8 for a decent filleting knife or boning knife

Try to avoid the pink ones. Geoff.

I use boning knives for bait and filleting, unlike fillet knives these are often far cheaper and hold the edge much longer, hence why they are the most common butchers knife.

I've got a couple of knives and sharpening stones from here https://uk.knivesandtools.eu/

Knives for every use and budget

Haven't checked lately but there used to be commercial fishing knives, resharpened, for about £6.  I've got several, many years old, and still going strong.  Still use a proper Victorinox for filleting mind.
