Questions about Calamus Fishing Fillet Knife And Bait Knives, German G4116 Stainless-Steel Blades with Corrosion Resistant Coating, Non-Slip Handles, Protective Nylon Sheath, Perfect For Fresh Or Saltwater.

Does it float?

Answer: No, it will not float on water.

Answer: Not sure, keep it on the shore.

What type of sharpening stone you recommend for this German blade?

Answer: I use workmate belt sander for knives on all my kitchen hunting and fishing. That’s what I do ????

Is it dishwasher safe?

Answer: you should NEVER put a knife in the dishwasher.

Answer: I'm not sure----I only hand wash. I expect that it is ok for dishwasher

Answer: Yes it is. Top rack though.

Answer: Yes

is the serrated back of the bait knife for scaling?

Answer: Yes, you can use the serrated back for scaling but there are also many other uses for this feature. One is for cutting frozen bait. The serrations make cutting frozen bait much easier. It is also very effective for cutting bone and also things like rope or cord.

I’m a novice that catches salt n fresh of all sizes. Would 9” be too clunky?

Answer: Not at all. It is very flexible and actually works better and allows you to feel for where you are making your cuts. We don’t catch large fish and this even works well on that. Favorite knife I’ve purchased for filleting fish.

Answer: I find the knife easier to handle AND more importantly see where the blade is moving during fillet.

Is the 9" fillet the total length or just the length of the blade?

Answer: The blade length is 9 inches, if you include the handle it's approximately 15 inches total.

Answer: It is the blade length

Answer: It is the length of the blade

Answer: Length of the blade

Who is the manufacturer of this knife? i’ve heard that this is made by kastking. is that correct?

Answer: Not sure who makes this knife, but I’m not to impressed with its performance, does not stay sharp, I like my 35 year old Rapala better.

Answer: Calamus was hatched as an Eposeidon incubator program for revolutionary ideas. Out of the box thinking was applied to fishing tackle to create spectacular, more efficient products.

where is knife made ?

Answer: The box says made in China

Answer: It’s a US company.

What is the blade sharpening angle?

Answer: Not sure of the angle. I use a Lasko box sharpener with 2 different angles built in and use the instructions recommended angle for outdoor knives and it works really well. I follow it up with a leather strop.

How well does this knife maintain its sharp edge?

Answer: Holds an edge very well. Blade is very ridged. Not much flex

Answer: Not well at all, my 35 year old Rapala holds a better edge.

Answer: Needs to be sharpened often especially on Walleye and bass

Why dont i have the option for the 7" blade?

Answer: There are 7” blades out there

I can only see 5” & 9” fillet knife. Is there no 7” for sale?

Answer: The 7" Fillet Knife is available now.

How does it stand up to salt water?

Answer: It don’t stand. It lays down.

Product reviews of Calamus Fishing Fillet Knife And Bait Knives, German G4116 Stainless-Steel Blades with Corrosion Resistant Coating, Non-Slip Handles, Protective Nylon Sheath, Perfect For Fresh Or Saltwater.

MD : Junk

A lot of fake reviews on this product but it is junk. Halfway thru cleaning the first fish it dulled up and had to get another knife to finish the job. Save your money.

Jesus M Rodriguez : Phenomenal & A-Must to have!!!

Fantastic knife! Be EXTREMELY careful. Just touching the blade and you are cut.

Bonners : Great knife for the price

Excellent knife for the price and sharpness is good. Just recommend a quick reshaping before each use to keep it cutting smoothly.

Clay O. : Nice knife

While I haven’t had the chance to fillet a fish with it yet, it certainly proved it’s worth already having tasked it with carving this years Christmas turkey :). Performed nicely, came nice and sharp right out of the box.

Us A C : Handle

A bit sticky handle

Paul Z. : Calamus G6 Fillet Knife - A Great Knife & A Great Price

I was anxious to try this Calamus G6 fillet knife because I own other KastKing products and they are all great products. The first thing you notice is the nonslip very comfortable handle. The super sharp teflon covered blade slides and cuts very easily while filleting. Blade flex is good, letting you control the knife easily. And when you are done, the knife goes back into a rigid open style sheath that snaps to the knife. This is a great knife at a bargain price.

Al T. : Great buy for me

This is a really good knife, I do wish that it would hold a sharp edge a little while longer. But when it cuts, it cuts GREAT!!

Robert E : Good fishing knife

Nice looking. I like that the cover snaps securely in place. Packaging nicely presents the knife.

Paige : Great Beautiful and sharp knife for the price!

Bought it as a Father’s Day gift and he absolutely loved it, more than I thought he would. Really nice and clean knife, very well built, especially for the price. Not too overpriced. Came really fast. Beautiful vibrant blue with a really great look all together. Very sharp straight out of the box. Just wish it was a little more flexible.

sinder : Could be sharper

My knife arrived not that sharp. My 30 year old Rapala holds its sharpness better than this knife. I had to sharpen it after using it the first time. I’m not impressed with it’s ability to hold a sharp edge and the tip is not as sharp and pointed as I would like.

Dpt : Great deal!

Beautiful knife . Will be great for filleting all the fish we catch! I’d definitely buy again

Brandith Malivanh : slices and dices

It slices and dices. I used this for squid-ing. Sharp and flexible can't wait to gut them all

Dpt : Great deal!

Beautiful knife . Will be great for filleting all the fish we catch! I’d definitely buy again

Alyssa Falcon : Well made, comfortable.

Comfortable handle with good grip, semi stiff blade but adequate flex for filleting fish cleanly. Works perfect on larger fish where my 4" and 5" filet knife came up short. Look forward to using it more on the water this season.

This Guy and his Wife : Great knife held its edge filleting 20+ catfish

I fish alot and it's hard to keep a knife that is sharp over a week I'm a month in without having to sharpen so happy with this purchase highly recommend

Andrew Postolnikov : Absolutely awesome knife

Absolutely love the knife. Makes a great addition to my kastking fillet knives. The blade has the perfect flex. The steel keeps its edge nicely. And the handle is truly something else. They sewed on some kindly of rubber silicone layer onto there and it gives the perfect grip. Couldn't have asked for a better knife. And to think it's only $20. Wow....this is y kastking is the best fishing brand out there. They just keep proving themselves

Woz : Easily worth double the price!

This is by far my most favorite filet knife I have ever used. Super sharp blade, firm but flexible, and the grip is absolutely perfect. The plastic sheath is durable, clicks on firmly and allows for easy rinsing with its design. No more stinky knife sheaths. I'll definitely be buying more of these.

Stephanie : Christmas present for my husband and he LOVES it!!

He used it to filet a fish and it was sharper than we thought, very nice.

Trusted Buyer : Sharp Sharp Sharp!!!

These knives was just what I was looking for.. Very sharp, Good, Comfortable Grip, and enough flex to get the job done. These fillet knives and good on small, medium, and yes, even the BIG fish. ..and they stay sharp even after filleting over 20 fish. Keeps a good edge.

TimInNH : Impressive knife!

Unfortunately I have not gotten to filet any fish yet since I got this knife, but using it on assorted cuts of meat have been great! Definitely a nice knife for the price and sharp "looking" as well. Definitely a keeper...

Clay Davenport : Must have!

Great feelning your hand and blade is very sharp works great

sinder : Could be sharper

Robert E : Good fishing knife

Nice looking. I like that the cover snaps securely in place. Packaging nicely presents the knife.

Ike : Very nice size and feel

The knife is the perfect size for the type of fish I filet. Lightweight, flexible tip and slip proof handle. Also the blade is a unique blue color(Teflon Coating). Not a bad knife for the price.

L. Erdman : Great knife, especially for the price

The first things I noticed when I took the knife out of the box is the quality of construction and the heft (which is a good thing, it feels very solid and easy to handle, not too light nor heavy). You will need to sharpen it though, as it didn't come very sharp. As always, sharpen regularly! Even the best knives get dull and need to be sharpened.

eugene : Super sharp knife!

This knife is super sharp. I tested it on some chicken breast and was easily able to filet a chicken breast into 6 individual 1/8" thick even slices. The knife has the right amount of flex and the grip is very comfortable. The Teflon coating helped the blade glide through the meat without sticking. Overall great knife and looking forward to flaying some fluke with it this summer.

Sean T. : Not sharp

My knife is not sharp at all. Total waste of money

Alyssa Falcon : Well made, comfortable.

Nikolay Skachko : Good value.

Just what I was looking for. Love that the case snaps on and can’t slid off.

This Guy and his Wife : Great knife held its edge filleting 20+ catfish

I fish alot and it's hard to keep a knife that is sharp over a week I'm a month in without having to sharpen so happy with this purchase highly recommend

Travis : Great grip, superbly sharp!!!

Amazing filet knife....flexible and incredibly SHARP!!!! This knife could probably split frog hair its so sharp....the handle has a cushioned winn grip type handle all you golfers know what I mean....it fits securely in your hand wet, dry or covered in fish slime....if you need an amazing filet knife this is the one you need and it is budget friendly!!!!! I am now going to purchase the other sizes as well....

MD : Junk

A lot of fake reviews on this product but it is junk. Halfway thru cleaning the first fish it dulled up and had to get another knife to finish the job. Save your money.

brad : Very Impressed by this knife

Ordered the knife and received it within 24 hours. It came nicely packaged and upon opening and holding it for the first time, I realized what a great choice I made. This knife feels great in the hand and has an excellent grip. Quite an upgrade form my old wooden handle stainless steel Rapala! The blade is wicked sharp and shaves the nail effortlessly. Blade has good flex and but at the same time feels very strong. The ventilated sheath is well made and the knife snaps into it perfectly. I am absolutely stoked about using it this spring once fishing season gets underway.

Tobias : Very sharp

It’s Very sharp. First use sliced 2 fingers because it went through the meat so well

Sam : Filets like a pro!

My man LOVES this knife I bought him as a gift. He is able to easily filet fish and it's very durable!

Tom : Love it

Great quality

Jim TenBrink : What a fantastic filet knife!!!

The product arrived professionally packaged and with great care. The knife has a well-balanced feel and arrived razor sharp. The filet process was effortless and filleted the fish with zero meat wasted. It is a very sharp looking knife with perfect feel and hold. I am so happy with this purchase and I would highly recommend it!

Jeremy Cyprych : It'll do the trick

Seems like a quality knife for the price. It should do the job. Only thing I'm disappointed about is the way they presented the picture of what it included because I thought that was a sharpening block not the box it comes in :/

Amazon Customer : Fish

Worked like a Champ on multiple fish, still has a nice edge

Robert E : Good fishing knife

Nice looking. I like that the cover snaps securely in place. Packaging nicely presents the knife.

Dale Thompson : Great knife after 1 heavy use.

I couldn't wait to use this knife so I cut a roast I had into steaks with it the minute I received it. It's like cutting through butter. It's very sharp and the teflon helps a lot. It has the proper amount of flex for filleting Steelhead which I plan to do heavily. I had been wanting to get a single knife to take with me to the river. The only thing I would change it to put a flat slightly raised piece of the sheathing to slide a belt through or slide over a belt but none of them have this on a non-leather sheath. I'll note more after it gets more use.

pennycandy : A super value Fishing Knife

The blade has the perfect flex. The steel keeps its edge nicely.
The cushioned grip is comfortable and slip-resistant
Great price all for the quality you get.
I would highly recommend this filet knife
Kastking is a great fishing brand.

This Guy and his Wife : Great knife held its edge filleting 20+ catfish

I fish alot and it's hard to keep a knife that is sharp over a week I'm a month in without having to sharpen so happy with this purchase highly recommend

Paco : Not sharp and will not sharpen

Not sharp, even after using sharpener, my old metal knife with plastic handle worked 10x better. Regret buying this

Jesus M Rodriguez : Phenomenal & A-Must to have!!!

Fantastic knife! Be EXTREMELY careful. Just touching the blade and you are cut.

Woz : Easily worth double the price!

pennycandy : A super value Fishing Knife

snidelyj : Nice and sharp

It does a great job filleting fish which is why I bought it

Jamey Thompson : Comfortable and sharp

Very well built but I haven’t used it yet. We are on pandemic lock down

Irvin Rivera : Very sharp knife

I take my kids fishing all the time and we needed a fillet knife and this happens to be exactly what we needed. It is very sharp and flexible. You can’t beat the price for the quality of the product. It is a MUST BUY! Go with the 7inch medium fish. Like Spanish mackerel or even jack fish.
