The D-shaped G10 handle locks into my grip even when my hands get slick from trout slime, which is exactly what I needed for river cleaning. The AUS-8 steel took a razor edge and held it through a dozen fish without touching the stone. Thin enough at that 15-degree grind to glide along the backbone

This thing came out of the box lethally sharp—the 13-15° edge glided through a salmon fillet like butter, no tearing at all. The balance feels spot-on for its 6.5" length, and cleanup was a breeze.

That D-shaped G10 handle fits my hand like it was molded for me, and the 13-15° edge from the diamond sharpening took the guesswork out of trimming silver skin. I filleted a whole salmon in about half the usual time, and the blade still feels laser-sharp after a rinse and wipe.
