Thanks Michael!!!

This Custom Fish Cleaning knife got here from Willem in South Africa the other day.

The "teeth" on the curved spine is for scaling and the blade for everything else.

I can clean a pound & half crappie (white perch) with it in 30 seconds, give or take.

I've been wanting one like this for years and finally got somebody to make me one.

That is the real deal for cleaning pan fish!

Good looking Knife Coach. Sure looks like it will get the job done. Is it heavy sprung or easy to open?

It’s easy. It is a lockback.

Easy to open and locks tight so the blade can’t come back on your hand

A few tweaks here & there and Willem came through!

Let me introduce the Fish'n Frank Model #2.

It features a thicker, contoured handle that feels really good in my hand. With the thicker handle, flipping the knife over from scaler to gutter is much easier! The bolsters are roughed up to keep a sure grip vs. the slippery fish slime. The extra couple of notches on the spine allow better access for the hard to get to places on the fish.

Like the first, this knife is a Lockback in Purple C-tek with Stainless liners and bolsters. The 1/8" blade on this knife is RWL-34 whereas the first was N680.

I project that this knife will be the "ULTIMATE WEAPON" for scaling & gutting Bream and Crappie.

That is a good looking knife and should get the job done with no problem. I always used a table fork to scale pan fish. Worked well for me.

I used a tablespoon and still do for scaling.
