Product reviews of Dexter-Russell 5-Inch Fish Knife

Audieekker : Just what I ordered great quality

Handy little knife. Received it quickly and went right to work with it.

Amazon Customer : I'm really impressed. I wish someone made a decent ...

I'm really impressed.I wish someone made a decent pouch type sheath for it.

x : quality steel in a superior camp or bushcraft knife

I've used several of this blade and and several Dadley blades starting in the 1970s and love them. I more often buy the blades and add my own scales. The steel is durable and tough high carbon. Yes, they will rust, part of the charm. The Green River C1095 high carbon steel is far superior to the soft 440 stainless used in so many knives. The blade is thin enough to be lightweight and easy to carry but thick enough to be sturdy and hold up to occasional battoning. The Green River line is by far the best buy out there in a bushcraft knife. You can't go wrong with this model or the Dadley. As a kid I bicycled across the continent with one and was often glad to have it.

jake : A great knife at a great price.

Ive had mine for a while now and I love it. The handle is high quality wood and the blade came sharp right out of the package. Ive carved, cut rope, striped wire and done lots of cooking with this knife and I highly recommend it.

Keep it Simple : You Will Find Few Knives of This Quality at This Price!

All around fine knife for the price. Good quality carbon steel blade. Arrived quickly with a good working edge. Took very little to strop to razor sharp. Handle a little rough, especially around the edges of the checkering, but smoothed out in seconds with a little fine grit. Will definitely be buying Dexter Russell again, and KaTom will be at the top of my vendor list.

STL : A good knife. Well made

A good knife. Well made. Checkered handle is rarely seen now, so it is nice to see Russell still does it. I hope they can offer more sizes and blade patterns.

Terry Brent Stamps : Passionate about Carbon Steel

I've really been focused on carbon steel knives lately. Love the steel and the history. I've added a couple of Dexter-Russell knives to my collection. This 5" Fish Knife is really beautiful and easy to sharpen.
Please be aware when you get a carbon steel knife that they are not stainless steel. You must keep them out of the dishwasher and take care to dry the knife after use. You can even wipe the blade down with a thin coat of cooking oil.
The KA-BAR sheath recommended by Amazon, under the "Frequently bought together", is a great fit for the knife.
I gave it a 4 star rating only because I would have liked the handle to be a bit longer. But the quality of the knife is very good especially for the price.

vba : Nice Thin Sharp Knife

I'm getting tired of all the thick bladed "Survival" knives out there. This company and knife has survived since the 1830's just like it is now. The blade on this Green River is nice and thin, very sharp and with very good stiffness. Therefore, it is a good hard steel.

This and the "Sheath Knife" #2212 have become my favorites of late and the price is refreshing.

Terry Atherton : This is a great knife.

Quality workmanship, built to work.

Kindle Customer : Great knife

This is one fine knife. My husband loves it. Super sharp, nice heft and easy to use. The walnut handle looks good.

bwana kuwba : Poor quality

Terrible build quality Poor fit and finish. Scales not symmetrical. Rivets poorly installed. Waste of time purchasing this knife,

Don B : Very good knife for camping - don't handicap yourself with thicker blades.

I bought this for bushcraft/woodcraft use. The blade shape and thickness make this an extremely versatile knife. Sharpens easily, great wood carver and food slicer - outperforms thicker blades in camp tasks. I highly recommend this as a companion to a small axe for camping.

mark : Excellent

I've been looking for a knife like this for camping, wittling, ect. It is an old trusted design.

J. Creasy : Good little knife

Good little knife, i wanted a good solid knife not a big thick bushcraft knife for some utility work and i think this will be ok. I put some wood finish on the handle with alittle bit of wax and ran thru my work sharp and now i have a good sharp knife for my shop.

Amazon Customer : Great knife for little $$$.

Liked it so much I bought a second. Quickly becoming my EDC due to weight, strength, size, and sharpness.
