Jason,
I have just finished the blade on my first fillet knife, it's out of 1.6mm 440c and 4.5' blade. I have about 5 knives in the shed and hope to do another fillet and cooks knife next week when I am off work and send them to Hills by next friday.

Is it sub- tang constuction? if so how /which pins keep the blade in.

My handle is based on my hunter knife lol lol

It looks like it will do the job. My only comment would be old mate must catch bigger fish than me. The whiting and bream I get onto will be covered by the 4.5 inch blade. I made it that size because I don't like the longer blades I have.

I found not much room for error with the thin steel on my equipment (read slightly modified blade design)
