I just finished up some .070" thick 14" OAL AEB-L fillet knives. All suggestions and comments are welcome. Merry Christmas

super nice. i got a request for a fillet knife with a 12 inch blade. i am debating on the thickness of the stock to use. i am thinking .110 or so to allow for some stiffness. i don't really want the blade to flex much until the last 6 inches.

thoughts?

I have not ground a fillet knife with a 12" blade but I have done some 10 inchers. IMHO, I would not use steel any thicker than .090". If I was asked to do one that size I would try .070" and taper accordingly.
