I Bought a Victorinox 5" Boning Knife Earlier Today...

Slight hijack but as you mentioned filleting knives, I need a couple of replacement filleting knives (cheap) to leave on the boat, they never last more than a season and often not more than a couple of trips. What’s peoples cheap filleters of choice?
Hello, There were some nice filleting knives for sale on Pigeon Watch, £15 posted, mine is called an Eagle Claw but not sure where to buy in UK , Can get very sharp
 
... along with a cheap and cheerful flexible filleting knife, I have just been informed that both should be arriving tomorrow, which is good.

The Victorinox in order to blatantly copy it, to make a nice hand made version of it (with a few modifications), the filleter in readiness for my week on the south coast in a few weeks, I have a couple (at least) of mackerel trips planned.

I would make and take a filleter but the chances of me leaving it in the accommodation after frantically packing the car in order get away early enough to make it back to Sheffield in less than 12 hours or so are are high 😂

Anyway, back to my point, I have not been age verified yet, I wonder when the UK supplier will get around to that?
If you do end up making a boning knife modelled on the Victorinox, I’d be very interested in buying one!
 
I was ask to sign for a knife by the postie who said that if the person didn't look old enough they were to ask for verification ID
I l;ive w3ith in w3alking distance of Scoobies Direct and they w3ould not let me pick up a Knife it had to be delivered and signed for.
 
I made my own version of the curved boning knife - although the original has been somewhat sharpened over the years.

As an aside ,I use the fiskars fillet knife available from Boyes or Trago Mills in Devon.
But verification wise Hennie Haynes did it magically with no input from me.
STs North Wales used an app to verify my age .
Used to love visiting Springfield's in Burton amazing knife range.
Unfortunately closed the shop but you can go to the warehouse and collect 😊
