Just bought a Leech Lake fillet knife from Scheels.
Very beautiful knife!
BUT,
Wasn’t impressed with the sharpness, in fact it was dull like a letter opener or butter knife.
Found this site and read all of the reviews.
Most weren’t positive, especially with the 2018 models which is what I have.
My $10 Berkley can slice easily through a thin paper purchase reciept.
The leach lake couldn’t.
I thought about what someone had said about having to sharpen every new knife.
I have bought many knives that were very sharp right out of the box but I still put a new edge on it myself which has always improved even the sharpest of knives.
I’ve never had a new knife ever be this dull out of the box before.
I use a $20 diamond sharpening rod from Fleet Farm that has never failed me so I figured I’d give it a try with the Leech Lake Fillet Knife.
I was amazed how sharp the knife became!
Even the top side of the knife!
It’s like a scalpel now!
Still want to give it the real test on a fish!
I feel pretty confident it will pass with flying colors!
Will get back on how it does.
