From the manufacturer

BUBBA KNIVES

Long famous for our fillet knives and as creators of the iconic, non-slip grip we are in relentless in the pursuit of developing the highest quality, best performing and most durable fillet knife on the water. BUBBA first emerged from the coast of California in San Diego—a knife tough enough to withstand the grueling saltwater conditions. Now, we’ve expanded—reaching freshwater and saltwater fishermen all over the world. Our iconic, Bubba Red “Non-Slip Grip” handle and premium razor-sharp steel blades continue to stay at the forefront of our fillet knives.


ULTRA FLEX The extreme flexibility stands out among its competitors. The sleek, sporty blade cuts precisely for detailing and plucking out bones.	TAPERED FLEX Our most iconic style fillet knife. Perfect for cleaning all types of fish. Flexibility allows for more precise filleting around bones while providing enough rigidity to slice through heavy meat or cut through the bones of fish. Ideal for salt or freshwater fish.	FLEX The semi-flexible blade is more lenient than our Stiff fillet blades and is a great option for cutting through heavier meats such as tuna and/or wahoo.	STIFF The construction of the stiff style fillet knife has little flex, making it controllable and great for any large game fish. It doubles as a great utility knife for meat carvers as the 2mm- wide blade is ideal for precision cutting.

Questions about BUBBA 9 Inch Tapered Flex Fillet Knife with Non-Slip Grip Handle

Can the knife be sharpened with a Teflon coating?

Answer: Yes, the knife can be sharpened. We recommend using a honing stone or steel. The Bubba Blade 10" Sharpening Steel would work well.

Answer: I sharpen my husband's & it didn't damage the knife. I used a manual sharpener. Hope this helps!

What degree is this knife sharpened to?

Answer: between 20-25deg.

Answer: Probably need to go to their website for that answerIt is extremely sharp out of box.

How well does this knife hold an edge? I am looking for something to cut up venison for processing.

Answer: I have used this knife a lot also for venison, just keep a good edge on the knife with a good steel. Regards , Walleye Hunter

Answer: Never used it on venison, only to filet fish.

Answer: I have used this knife on 3 mule deer and have not had to sharpen it yet. Still super sharp

Answer: great knife stays sharp for quite awhile

Where is it made?

Answer: (China) not hi quilty

Answer: China.

Do you offer lifetime sharpening

Answer: Bubba blades are the manufacturer of the blades only. any sharping of the steel is a learned skill by the owner. Walleye Hunter

Answer: No sorry about that.

Are these dishwasher safe

Answer: We recommend using a mild soap to clean the knife then drying it completely with a soft cloth.

Answer: Yes, but I just wash it by hand. These knives are very sharp!

Answer: Yes, just be careful.

Answer: yes

Answer: No

Is it flexible enough for filleting smaller fish, say 1-2 pound fish? Or is there a better version of the brand to suite me better?

Answer: There is a 7" version of this knife which is better suited to cutting small fillets.

Can you use a Work Sharp knife sharpener on this blade?

Answer: I suppose it could be used as long as the angle was at yhe correct setting. These knives, though, are known for holding an edge longer than most. Usually a quick pass over a good whet stone will keep it sharp.

Answer: I use a Magic Chef electric sharpener on it works good

Answer: Probably but I can’t say for sure. It is a very nice knife. Husband and I fight over it. I may need another b

Answer: Yes you can! The best edge on the blade is obtained by getting a fine edge as the final step.

Answer: i think any sharper well work

Will it float?

Answer: Only in a no Gravity environment !!

Does this item include a case?

Answer: It comes with a Synthetic sheath

Answer: It has a sheith

Does it come with a sheath ?

Answer: Yes, all Bubba Blades come with a sheath.

Answer: Yes it does

Answer: Yes

We live in the keys, will it rust if kept on the boat?

Answer: Good question, I keep my Bubba on my 24ft. boat, yet all the lakes that I fish in Northern Wisconsin are fresh water. It should not be a problem if the blade is kept dry. use a good quality silicon or light oil at times. You will enjoy your Bubba , Regards & good fishing. Walleye Hunter

Answer: Salt water will Rust anything but if you keep it clean and dry and maybe a little bit of some sort of knife oil were Whip and oil on it it should help it quite a bit

Answer: I DON'T KNOW AS MINE ARE KEPT INDOORS AFTER USE

Answer: The sharpened edge may as it the only part of the blade that isn't coated.

what should I buy 7"flex or 9"flex? usually filte red, trout, grouper snapper tuna,?

Answer: 7". Have found the 9" can be to big on some fish. It flexes easier then the 7 and makes it easier to cut yourself. I already experienced it. I suggest buying a protected glove, knife resistant as the bubba blades are extremely sharp.

Answer: Either one will work. I have the 9" and use it to clean Dolphin. It really matters

Answer: To do all those fish I would go with the 9”. But I also filte the whole fish on one side cutting threw the ribs. Then filte the ribs and skin off once the main filte is off the fish. If you filte from the back down to the ribs then the 7” is what you want.

Answer: I would buy the 9 it is a little more flexible which helps with bigger fish. I would also get the sharpener

Answer: I'd buy the 9" for that great big one I tell fish stories about! Just in case ;)

Answer: As a rule of thumb fresh water fish require a 7" inch blade yet not always. The bottom line ,What is the girth of the fish that your are working on. A bigger girth fish a longer blade is the rule to cut by.Regards, Walleye Hunter

Answer: The 9 inch would be my recommendation

Answer: 9”!

Answer: Bought for the boyfriend. He stated easy to handle and to manage

Answer: Nine inch.

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

bigger then we thought it would be but a nice knife

Ryan : Great Handel, great flex, good steel.

I've cleaned a few thousand fish with this knife while guiding on lake of the woodsin these last three years. I touch it up with a steel everyday keeping the edge sharp only taking it to a stone every few weeks to touch up Nicks in the blade from heavy rib bones. The knife has held up extremely well. The grip is comfortable and provides the most grip out of any knife I've used. The only down side is the texturing in the grip is hard to clean if fish guts and slime is allowed to dry on the handle. Besides that I have zero complaints.
I'll buy this knife again and again.

Amazon Customer : Wonderful

Bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday. He LOVES it! He says the group is comfortable, the flexibility and curve are perfect, and he looks forward to using it on all of his fish!

Kent : ... this blade for processing catfish and it was a great improvement over the cheap ones I've been buying
