Stainless steel is not a must for salt water fishing but it does have obvious advantages for some types of knives. Most stainless steels benefit from LN but can work just fine without it. The good news on stainless is that it is easy to send it out and have it professionally heat treated. The carbon steels you should heat treat yourself in your forge or furnace.

As for fillet knives, we will be starting a new KITH in a few weeks and it will be about fillet knives. You will want to at least follow along with it and possibly even participate ...
