I am an avid hunter, fisherman, camper and outdoorsman in general.  To me, one of the hardest knives to find is a good fixed blade knife to take catfishing.  After going fishing several times with my Sog Seal Pup, I now know that my search is over.  This knife is razor sharp right out of the packaging, has a solid grey coating and excellent serrations.  I am not normally a serrations guy, but I found them to be very useful when cutting scaly and boney baitfish.  This knife cut through the bream, perch and herring like it was warm butter.  It also took a chunk out of my finger with the serrations, so be careful.  This is the perfect size fixed blade knife to take fishing as it is not too big or heavy, but robust enough to do some medium to heavy duty chores.  I wouldn't choose this knife as a fillet knife by any means, but in a pinch, it is sharp enough to serve as one.
