I am a chef knife nut but know nothing about a good fillet knife. A coworker is looking for one for her son as a gift. Can you all suggest one or two fillet knifes. One that is around $20 and maybe one that is a higher end knife. Most of the time I would look up a knife on chefknivestogo but the selection of fillet knives is not very big

I can't say enough good things about Victorinox knives. This is the one I use:

Im poor white trash, take that's for what's it's worth.
But I've never had an issue with my Rapala filet knife.

They also have birch handled knives for something a bit "prettier"

Hard to wrong with Forschner-Victorinox for a great combination of price and quality. I'd spring for a few extra bucks and get one with their rosewood handle.

take a look at Knives at Knife Center they have every kind of knife you would want. They also sell shaving supplies their straight razor prices are usually better than all the other online shave shops.
As an avid fisherman, I have used a lot of fillet knives. For a cheap one I use a Mustad fillet knife from Walmart, if you want a higher quality knife go for Bubba Blade.
I have and like the Rapala, but I agree with the others above who rave about Victorinox knives. Their entire line is wonderful.
^^^^ What he said.
I must have at least 30 to 40 higher end chefs knives, yanagis, nakiris, cleavers, bunkas, slicers etc., etc., even had my own custom chef done that I helped design.
I keep going back to my Rapala for fileting. (No it's definitely not high end.) Laser thin, flexible, and a 6" is only $12.99. Only drawback is it doesn't hold an edge very well but I can normally get through whatever I'm prepping for dinner fine. Further, at that price? I keep 2 around both sharp.
Since you're a ChefKnives to Go guy... That Kanehide has intrigued me for a long time... Just sayin.....
Get one from Bark River Knives (Kalahari Sportsman) , or Silver Stag Knives (Alaskan Fillet). [emoji1360]
I’m a knife guru and also a fishing junkie and I highly recommend a dalstrong gladiator fillet knife! Great high carbon German steel. Thin sharp flexible blade that’s easy to maintain. A little more at about 70 dollars but hard to beat at the price
Mora makes several good filet knives
Leech Lake Knives makes some beautiful custom knives. One side is used to cut the fish and the bottom part to skin it.
