Hi guys,
I find that a Rambo knife works best, because you never know when you'll get lost and the compass at the back can save your life. And if something else happens:dunno1, you can always use the McGafters concealed on the inside to your advantage…:lol:1

I use one as well, good knife, sharp and strong.
Hey guys, i've been through many knives from the shogun, Nikkei, diving knives and all others... And i've come to realise that a knife is as only good as its sharpner...so i own one of those white handled knives that Raggie is talking about(its really sharp, when new), and i bought a sharpner that is more expensive than the knife itself, and its an excellant combo... The knife sharpner is called the "blade runner", and its brilliant... The knife is available at any good tackle store and it costs between R80-R100... No matter which knife u but its going to dull, so invest in a good sharpner!!! Hope this helps!!

I'll second mels opinion here. Any knife that is properly sharp works a treat. I learned to use an old fashioned oil stone for knife sharpening. If you have the right range of stones in terms of grit it is possible to sharpen a knife to a point where you could shave with it.
For fishing, one ideally wants a thin(read flexible) bladed knife which is fairly narrow and a blade length of about 20cm. This is ideal for cutting fillets etc.

I use a similar knife but with a blue handle.
bought the Wasthog V Sharpner and it works like a dream. It stands upright so you just pull your knife through the sharpner about ten times and these you are a knife so sharp you but the skin off a filet of sardine.
No need for different stones. you can also set the angles on the sharpner to suit your knifes blade.

Hey Skaap Tjop, thats the right stuff, i have a similiar one, but a different name, it works wonders and is absolutely safe to use, and it makes a knife lightening quick...and its light to carry... Try it guys...u'll be really happy with the results...The worst combo on a day out fishing is a dull knife and a soft sardine...AAAARGH

Raggie those white knifes make is Zest and it is quite a S##t blade as it's always causing S##t between me and the wife when I want to go fishing and she doesn't want to give my knife back. This is really a good blade compared to a lot of other knifes I had.
