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.

3dDave : My new go to fish knife

This knife does all the work. Very sharp out of the box. Had no problem with multiple filets after a days fishing. The handle has great grip for when things get slippery it does not slide out of your hand like some wood handles. The blade is long and flexible enough to make those cuts around fish bones.

Jake : Great knife for the price

This fillet knife is very well made. I was impressed at the quality compared to the low price. The teflon coating will come in handy with cleaning and durability. The rubber handle feels great in the hand and helps keep your grip even with fish slime. I have quite a few KastKing products and this is yet another one that doesn't disappoint.

HW : AMAZING

Comfortable grip, weight is just right (not light, but far from heavy), sharp blade, tip is very small. Overall, great for fish filet. The thin blade and small tip allow for smooth cuts. Plus, the beautiful blue color is spot on. Highly recommend!

JM : Good quality knife

The funny part of receiving this knife today is that we went fishing and caught a bunch of fish. Pompano and whiting. When we returned home the knife was in the mailbox. Talk about perfect timing.

Anyhow the knife is of great quality. It is very sharp and flexible like a fillet knife should be. Made filleting the fish very easy.

For the quality of the knife the price was very reasonable.

ShawnFlee : Great knife

Just got this knife today. The grip is perfect and the knife was very sharp. I used it to prepare dinner and it sliced right through a chicken breast with ease. I love that it has the locking protective sheath with it as i have a small child. Great product, glad i went with this brand.

Robert E : Good fishing knife

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

ShawnFlee : Great knife

FamilyMan : No better that cheap brands from Walmart.

Out of the box not very sharp, it’s ok but not any better that the cheap brand knives from Walmart.

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.

Geirsen : Decent blade for the price

I just had a chance to use this knife for the first time yesterday. Cuts well and the 9" blade is a decent shape and size for 10-20lb fish. The knife could be a bit sharper, but nothing a proper fillet knife sharpener can't fix. The handle has plenty of grip and does not slip from your hand, even when covered in fish juices.

I definitely recommend this as a first fillet knife for someone who is a bit more budget-conscious.

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.

Tom Kallam : Good choice

Very pleased so far, still sharp after processing several fish. Handle feels good in my hand and gives a good grip when wet and slick from cleaning fish, blade cover fits well a stays in place.

JoeKing : Gotta Catch them First

Good Knife. Sharp enough to go to work right out of the box, but not as sharp as it could be. The sheath is good and locks to the knife so nice, secure and safe. The Teflon isn't really needed, but it does make clean up of the blade a bit easier. The Star of the Show is the grip, a bit of cushioning along with a beefy size makes it a good all around filet knife.

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!!

Paige : Great Beautiful and sharp knife for the price!

snidelyj : Nice and sharp

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

dolan sontag : Very nice knife

Very nice filet knife handle is comfortable love the rubber coating on the handle blade is flexible and holds a edge well

J wil : good knife

very sharp, seems to be high quality. I havent had a chance to use it yet but it seems like a great knife

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.

Kindle Customer : great

great

alicia1018 : Duller than a butter knife.

Wow. Came w 0 edge. Makes a butter knife feel like a razor blade.

The Umbrella Academy : Great Knife!

I don’t have any dislikes for this knife, it cuts through fish smoothly and the handle has a really good grip:)

Ryan : EXCELLENT Filet Knife!!!

Added another fantastic filet knife to my arsenal! Plenty of flex to get in those tight places, the rubber handle fits snug/secure in the hand and the blade is wicked SHARP! Check out the photo, the blade barely touched my hand and it shaved a nice piece of skin off.

Highly recommend!

JoeKing : Gotta Catch them First

The Umbrella Academy : Great Knife!

I don’t have any dislikes for this knife, it cuts through fish smoothly and the handle has a really good grip:)

Ryan : EXCELLENT Filet Knife!!!

snidelyj : Nice and sharp

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

Fishing Mama : Great value for the price

Very pleased with my purchase. Knife is sturdy, comfortable to use, and holds it's edge extremely well. Razor sharp right out of the box, best fillet knife I've purchased. Only drawback is the lack of a clip on the knife sheath. I will be purchasing this in the 7" version as well for my wife, who prefers a smaller blade

Gerardtb : Great bait knife.

Been using it for a few months now. Super sharp and works great! Mainly used for cutting bunker and saltwater fishing.

Don't hesitate to buy!

Taylor : Excellent value with great results

This knife is perfect for cleaning big fish such as bull mahi and wahoo. The flexible blade really allows you to hug the spine while taking off the filets and also allows fine adjustments to get as much meat as you can. Removing blood lines and pin bones are both simple task as well. A great knife.

HW : AMAZING

MAF : Great product

This bait knife feels really good in the hand. Quality feel and the price is fair. Sharp right out of the box and Calamus products, I’m my opinion, are one of the better bargains out there. I’m a long time KastKing fan and feel this company makes comparable products at a better price point.

Robert E : Good fishing knife

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

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

Tom : Love it

Great quality

snidelyj : Nice and sharp

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

Kenia : For every fillet-Er!

Just used the knife to filet crappie and it worked amazingly smooth. The knife is stiff enough to allow you to be in control, but also flexible enough to allow you to go over the pin bones of the fish. The sleeve for the blade is nice to have and it allows you to bring it outdoors with you.

Robert E : Good fishing knife

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

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.

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....

Nick Bulka : Great Knife!

Ordered this Thursday and had it Friday! This is a nice, comfortable, sharp knife with a secure rigid sheath. Although the sheath is ventilated, it's not possible to accidentally stick the point of the knife through one of the holes in the sheath as you're inserting it. (I tried). The knife snaps securely into the sheath and the handle has a cutout in the end so you can hang it or tie a string to it. The cushioned grip is comfortable and slip-resistant. I haven't had the opportunity yet to try it on a fish, but it does wonders on a roast! And the price isn't bad at all for the quality you get.

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.

Jamey Thompson : Comfortable and sharp

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

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!

Ivan : Uber sharp

Make sure u clean it after every trip or end of the week especially fishing saltwater. Saltwater destroys anything without proper care.

snidelyj : Nice and sharp

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

Fishing Mama : Great value for the price

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 :/

Corina : Quality knife

Knife came as advertised-- good value, comfortable, seems durable but haven't used yet
