Grohmann #2 Trout & Bird Knife - Filleting Fish 

Nice looking fish.. Good job filleting. Being from Nova Scotia I am somewhat obligated to own at least one Grohmann... So, I have four :) I bought my first, a No 1 more than 40 years ago. I also have the No 4 and recently obtained a No 3 (second).. I also have a small slip joint folder by Grohmann. Nice knives if a bit expensive. You may be interested in a relatively new Nova Scotia knife maker "Triple X Knives"

Not designed for filleting fish, you still did OK though. Needs a good sharpening for sure. I owned one of their hunting knives and found it would not hold an edge, blade was nicely designed for gutting and skinning deer. Bought a chef knife pairing knife and boning knife and they lasted ten years of commercial kitchen use, much easier to sharpen. Hunting knife is now a made in Solingin hunters pal, a very good quality knife.

OMG!!!!! 2.99 ribs!!!! I am getting myself to safeway.

There are how to videos on fish clean/filet. You should check them out. There are methods that are faster and less wasteful

Interesting and beautiful knife. Looks like it makes good work of a nice fish. Have you ever used nessmuk style knives? I think they originate in Canada as well. I find it's easier to gut the fish and leave the head attached to the fish. Make a slit with the knife all the way down until you hit the spine behind the cheek and then turn your knife towards the tail. You can run your knife along it's spine and make your fillet. With head still on, it gives you something to grab onto when you run your knife along the spine towards the tail. You can hug the spine and hear it tick-tick-tick as your knife runs along it. It's much quicker by the looks of it and turns out a really nice fillet. Tight lines!

Will it handle light camp work feather sticking maybe

Dude gut you’re fish at the lake way less smelly garbage and it’s good for the lake

What time is dinner? Reminds me of my camping/fishing trips.

There needs to be more people like you in this world

I must say,.....I have never seen it done like that before!! I was laughing at first but after watching to the end I must say you did a great job!!!

I have the same knife in carbon steel. I use it to harvest wild mushrooms. It is also a very nice camp kitchen knife. I love it.

PS; with ol Herters knife.

Nice work! I had the #1 as a kid and it's long lost. Bought the #2 years ago and LOVE it. And I have big hands. Processed countless squirrels with it. Just had it at the cottage recently. Used it to clean fish, kitchen food prep, even battoned it to produce kindling for fires. A light touch-up with a steel and life is good.

Why are You wearing two watches ?

I'm just trying to help out. That link below is one way of filleting fish much more quickly. There are many ways to do it faster here on youtube. I love your video. I am going to get the Grohmann #! next month. I cant wait to try it out.

No... A bird and trout knife IS a survival knife! Bird, fish, squirrel, whatever you need to gut or skin is survival for sure. My favorite knives are much like this, all belly. for me it makes slicing or skinning very easy compared to a flat blade with a small belly near the tip. I will have to try this one once I have a bit of money. Looks perfect for me.

You did a fine job mate!

I have a #1 and love it. A few years ago, I added the Bird and Trout to accompany me fishing and bird hunting. Great comment, "it is not a survival knife." From the mountains of Arizona.

I just found your channel, love the videos. I have used one of these that I inherited from my grandfather for years to skin big game. I love it, cold steel makes a budget friendly version of it that is equal is quality, called the canadian belt knife.

Love your channel keep on liking Canadian knives brother

I don’t fillet trout I stop after removing the entrails, head, and tail. Cut into steaks you get a nice amount of meat and the skin tastes good on it

Beauty Trout man!! 👍 The dog was like "mmmm what's in that swim bladder!?!?" Couple tips, that you may already know... and apologies if so, don't cut that tail off. Use it as a handle and cut from the tail towards where the head was. Also... that size of trout is right where I may decide to fillet. I typically just bread the fish (headless and gutted) in some fish batter (available everywhere... I like Fish Crisp) and fry it up in a pan until done. Then I run the knife along the spine and you can lift off one side of the fish carefully and then grab the tail and literally lift the entire skeleton out. Zero bones!! My sweetheart thinks I'm a mountain man when I pull it off ;) Anyway, just ordered my first grohmann(s) a trout and bird with a flat grind (Stainless) with stag handles and a Standard skinner with regular saber grind and micarta handles... also in stainless (I live 100 yards from the ocean) I hunt grouse and deer and bear and fish trout and salmon any chance I get! So I'm sure I'll wind up with a #1 and a #4 and and and .... Cheers brother and thanks for the posts!!

You have that dogs 100% undivided attention!!!!

I love your dog!!! :)

Very nice trout. Esme has a little bit of mountain goat in her, lol.

Hey man, bring those over and we'll cook em up!

Beautiful trout, tight lines

Nice job on that Steelhead

.....your knife is in the right place... knife is the topic right......fish can only endure how we treat it mate....so....as to the knife what you think....I just had my hands on an original #2 .....hanging bob belt loop....old steel....case is as old as me grand mother....Groumann. for sure

While you certainly don't use the conventional method, i like the way you maxmize the amount of meat you harvest from this beatiful food source... and i like your helper!

I see a Weber Q on the porch table. LOL. If only those things had the burners a little further from the food .. :). Thanks for sharing your technique!

I love the dog. my dog always hangs around when I clean fish. I must say that seems to be a very nice knife. I was so impressed I actually purchased one. Thanks for the information and just being yourself. Best regards Harold retired in the mountains of Germany. Kudos!

well done, good job.

All the knife you need from squirrels and panfish to deer and bear. And they are so light to carry.

Excellent video. My go to outdoor knife is the No. 3.

Great video my friend, very informative for me.

It is a nice knife

Рукожоп, Замучал рыбу.

Thanks for taking the time to post your vid. I have a Grohmann filleting knife. Very happy with it’s quality.
