Gerber fishing knives ?

[jock1]

Hi Guys
I was looking for a decent sized fishing knife and have seen the 9 inch bladed Gerber Gator fishing knife it looks good but I would value your opinions .My prefernce would be for at least a 6 inch blade as this will be getting used for kitchen duty as well as the odd trout gutting

I've got an old Gerber Filet knife, and too be honest it's not much cop to be honest , but then I don't much like filet knives anyway

They are very nice! I have three of them and they work very well... Although, I prefer Rapala filleting knives.

My uncle has used a Gerber Gator for years to gut and fillet trout.  I saw it and it was a big serrated clip point and I thought it would be horrible for filleting...but my uncle swears by it.

Found a six inch Rapala today in my favourite fishing shop for £5-95 needless to say it now has a new home

I have the same knife (half-serrated Gator clip point) and it's pretty good.  The blade is nice and big and the rubber handle always gives you a good, secure grip.  Really nice knife.
