"In the book, The Knife Makers Who Went West by Harvey Platts, page 178, they talk about the different Fish Fillet Knives. If they have a full bevel grind and full width of steel blade, they are S-W766. It doesn't say, but my guess is that…"
"Hi Steve. Thanks for your research into my question. I don’t know how you found that out; but that’s interesting. Could it be that Camillus made a lions share of these fillet knives; because, except for a very few, these blades all have…"

"LOL, well ok it was a bad guess.....
