That`s a WHOLE other thread; what are the best knife sharpeners...Buy the best EDC for your budget... At first I loved my BUCK and Gerber knives.... Then I went to Kershaw for awhile... My two favorites are my Benchmade and my ZT... look for quality steal and invest in a good knife sharpener as well!! I would also suggest a dedicated fillet knife versus using an EDC to fillet your fish.
