I use a 9" Mustad knife.  It has worked fine on the ~20 fish I've used it on so far.  It was only $15 and isn't the sharpest knife, but I still come out with a pretty clean fillet.  At $15, it owes me nothing.

I have used a few different knives of various qualities and pricing. My go to blade right now is a Kershaw with innerchangable blades of different lengths, they hold their edges well, no complaints, better to spend a little more on a quality knife IMHO
Recommendation - Kershaw

I only use a 9inch Rapela with the spoon in the hilt.It removes that crude along the backbone without cutting in to the meat which I find is a fequent risk using numb fingers.

Kommer's Big Eddy.  Awesome blade for Salmon.  Picked it up at Riverside Fly and tackle and would highly recommend it.

SHARP.... well lets just say this, I didn't even feel it when I cut threw the tip of my thumb (including the nail) with this knife....

I really like the handle as it makes it easy to hold on to.

Luckily I didn't cut it completely off, and there was still a very small part that connected it (thankfully), very close though.... Went threw the nail completely though...

Been using steri-strips and it seems to have grafted back on, although the piece is kind of translucent... eh, good conversation piece, LOL

Russ Kommer design's these for CRKT and they are among the best fillet knives I have used. Russ is a pro guide in Alaska and a great guy.
I see they make three models now a 5",7" and a 9".
