Product reviews of Maxam SKFILET2 x Fish Fillet Knife with Sheath, 7", Brown
AK1989 : Great knife for $7.00 !!!
I purchased two of these knifes for some kitchen cooking at a remote jobsite. Just wanted a cheap knife to use and to leave behind. I was pleasantly suprised at the quality for $7.00. It is a very pretty knife with the wood handle, stainless steel blade and handle frame. The blade is very firm and sharpens nicely. I have bought cheap fillet knifes before where the blade is very thin and warps/bends easily, this one does not. I have not filleted any salmon with it yet, which I have done a lot, but will give it a try. I have some expensive fillet knifes for that chore but I will give this knife a try. The scabbard is nylon, it seems to work okay. You really have to push the knife in to get it to sit all the way down, but seems sturdy and will protect the blade nicely.
Marcy Hedges : Great product!
Product as described and its good quality.
person, not dog : Four Stars
Exactly what you would expect from the cost.
Richard Hart : Four Stars
Good Quality as advertised
FloydFan : Not sharp enough
My old rapala 6” filet knives from 30 years ago hold a better edge than this thing. I shoulda stuck with them
Redrum11 : Five Stars
Awesome for the price.
Steven : No way. This is junk.
Bought it, regretted it immediately. Out of the box, the handles are mis-matched and mis-ground, one side of the blade is hight at the top and low at the edge, other side is opposite, so it looks ridiculous. The blade is bent. Not crazy bent, but a blade should be straight, thats the ONE thing you can't really screw up, but they did. I wanted to like it, I wanted to polish it and give it to a friend actually, but I have to return it because the quality is far too poor. Lots of good reviews for this and I'm sure just like most stuff from China, generally they're ok but there's lots of QC issues and bad ones in the bunch. Well, I got a bad one, and I'm sending it back. Take a chance here if you must, but for $10 there's better knives out there.
Shannan Glaze : Four Stars

emun : Five Stars
Item arrived exactly as advertised. Prompt delivery.
Jeff : Not super sharp, great feel and comfort
Great balance and feel, could definitely be sharper. Tried on some Mackinaw for the first few fish to ever see the blade. Not razor sharp but great weight and balance.
Amazon Customer : Four Stars
perfecto cuchillo
the electrician : Nice fish cuttin knife
Nice, flexible. Just think it could've been a little bit sharper out of the package but no big deal. Sheath works well but could've been better as well.
Tom Kokoshka : fillet knife
nice knife .... quality is very good and comparable to more expensive knifes. you won't be sorry you bought this knife.
SLATER : Nice Buy
Very will made I was surprise for the price .
Amazon Customer : Five Stars
Very pleased. As described. Thanks.
Stephen Schneikart : You will throw this away before you bother returning it
Very poor quality metal. Requires sharpening after each side of fish. Garbage.
Shawn Phillips : It's Worth it!
Razor sharp and well balanced. It's great for filleting Walleye and Large Mouth Bass.
Marty J. : Nice quality for the price
Nice quality for the price. Good looking blade , no nicks, straight blade, nice sheath again for the price I would recommend this to anyone waiting a very nice fillet knife.
Bob Walker : Just ok
Decent cheap filet knife
bill : Five Stars
nice for the price
the electrician : Nice fish cuttin knife
Nice, flexible. Just think it could've been a little bit sharper out of the package but no big deal. Sheath works well but could've been better as well.
Robert Manas : Five Stars
A great knife
John C. Harvey : Pretty Good
Only reason I give it a 4 star is that it does take awhile to get it in the mail.
Other than that.....nicely balanced and sharp blade and flexible enough to fillet perch ( which was my test fish for it). The wood handle and contour of it, gave me better control of the knife, which I also greatly appreciated.
If you can wait...it's worth the time and dime to have in the cutlery.
UPDATE: 10/07/2013
Okay...I'll admit I'm not that great a knife sharpener....but I can put an edge on a knife sharp enough to cut paper under it's own weight. Unfortunately, I've haven't even been able to do that with this filet knife. I have several types of stone and ceramic sharpeners...none of them worked?
Been using it steady since I got it, and last night it was in need of a little bit of sharpening. Finally had to give up and get my Schrade Uncle Henry Filet knife to finish the task at hand of dressing out and fileting 7 catfish.
Don't know what the trick is in sharpening it....maybe some good folks will clue me in. Until then, it sits in the cupboard drawer unused.
Geo B : Three Stars
its OK, nothing special, rather stiff
Amazon Customer : Five Stars
Very pleased. As described. Thanks.
B. Allen : Nice handle bigger than expected
The handle was nice. I thought 7" referred to entire length not just blade length.
Stephen Schneikart : You will throw this away before you bother returning it
Very poor quality metal. Requires sharpening after each side of fish. Garbage.
rusiok : Three Stars
Went dull after one use. Poor steel quality, but great look. Expected for the price.
michael : ... inch fillet knife and is flexible which makes it great! But the sheath fell apart after two days
the knife is a well built 7 inch fillet knife and is flexible which makes it great! But the sheath fell apart after two days.
Fishman : Great knife...
Awesome knife for filleting fish... Perfect to take to the beach fishing in the sheath...
Ian Barratt : great knife for in the tackle box or the
Sharp out of the box,great knife for in the tackle box or the kitchen
Mindy : Dull as a butterknife
I was impressed with the previous reviews and thought for the price it would be worth it. Unfortunately it showed and and was super dull. After running it through a ceramic sharpener its starting to get a bit of an edge but I don't think it'll ever be like a factory sharp blade. Will probably return it. Also, not as thing and flexible as I was expecting.
Bob Barnes : Fillet knive
Stainless steel blade, nice handle with hole for lanyard. Blade is fairly large but flexible and thin. Perfect for filleting dolphin (dorado...not Flipper...hehe)Could use better sheath but what the heck
Palomino : I love the knife for the ability to filet and do ...
I love the knife for the ability to filet and do its job, it is just too big for my small gear bag, it hangs out the top. Also the sheath is not the best quality and if you arent careful (and I wasnt) it will stick you with the tip!
Warren : Five Stars
Sharp!
Franx : What's not to like for $9.45
Cant complain about this knife,
it has a full tang, wood handles and comes with a sheath. It came very sharp out of the box
and seems to be a solidly constructed knife, simple and sturdy.
I bought a Mustad about a year ago and the first time I used it , the handle became loose.
It has a fancy rubber grip handle, plastic vented sheath, but not a full tang, I don't trust it anymore.
Bob Walker : Just ok
Decent cheap filet knife
C. Kardos : Great and stylish knife
I chose this knife based on the reviews and so far, I can only agree with the other 5 star reviewers. I would recommend it to a friend.
turki : Five Stars
Good
