tang, rivited construction and Suregrip handle. Designed for larger fish, the Coho sports a full 8-1/2" cutting edge and

I have used the knife extensively since I purchased it and I have never been disappointed. I dulled a section of the blade accidentally and I contacted KOA and they told me to send it back and they would refinish it. I got the knife back in like new condition and they refunded my shipping cost. FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE.
I was looking for an easy to sharpen (carbon steel) fillet knife that had a good blade shape, good length, and ease of use. The knife is easy to handle; rubber gripped handle is very ergonomic, the blade shape is nice for filleting, and the blade length is perfect for any north american freshwater fish, and a good number of salt water fish too. However, the blade material, which by technicalities is a carbon steel but a harder carbon steel. I took my 4 inch pocket stone into the Quetico for a trip and couldnt get the knife to hold much of an edge. Even when I got the knife brand new it wasnt taking the hair off my arm. Overall if youre a proficient knife sharpener it will work, otherwise dont count on this being the standard tackle box knife.
