I bought this knife to throw in a fishing package for my little brothers christmas gift. Out of the fishing shirts, lures, baby wipes (nice when that coffee starts activating your insides on a boat with no toilet), etc., this was his favorite. In the past three weeks I'd say it's received a decent amount of use - enough so that I can post an honest review.
Sharpness - 5/5
Right out of the box, this knife is razor sharp - it will shave a baby's bottom like section of arm hair on your forearm with just two light passes of the knife. If you happen to graze the blade at any speed, it will cut your skin...very sharp...which is awesome for a fillet knife.
Flexibility - 4/5
Has a nice bend to it, It's stiff enough to get into some medium sized trout or redfish and still flexible enough to separate the skin from the meat when filleting. I like a little more bend in the knife so I don't have to tilt the knife down to horizontal while filleting - I'd say I like to be at a 25º angle, this one probably puts me at 18º from horizontal (not actual angles, just the way it feels to me)
Corrosion Resistance ?/5 - so far a 5/5 but time will tell
No rust as this blade is coated in titanium - you can put titanium in salt water and it will not dissolve - this is great for any blades used in humid marine environments and in any knife that will be used for filleting. The 420J2 specification is not one that I have any knowledge on, but 420 steel is a pretty standard knife material for its decent edge retention and ease of resharpening.
Size - 5/5
Having this knife fold up makes it very desirable for a tackle box - no requirement for a sheath, compact size lets it fit in smaller spaces, no accidentally cutting yourself when it's closed - it's practical. When opened, it's the perfect size for filleting.
Grip - 5/5
Even with fish oil paws, you're not going to lose your grip - hard to top that
Overall it's an excellent knife that has, so far, held up to the less than stringent requirements that some of the other reviews on here also boast on it about. I'm buying another for myself, and will buy again when and if the knife fails

Extremely sharp filet knife.
My dad and I had a great annual father son fishing trip this year and crushed some white bass. We both caught our limit. I had a great time cleaning the fish with this knife. I actually came back to buy another and thought I'd leave a review after fileting a few fish. It's still sharp.
