2.0 out of 5 stars CRK's Big Eddy, a mediocre blade, August 20, 2010

I like the feel of CRK's Big Eddy in hand. It accomplished the intended purpose

of filleting fish. The handle and scabbard are quite good, ( 4 stars). However,

CRK's Big Eddy is manufactured with relatively soft steel, (i.e. 420J2 is a low

carbon stainless steel). Therefore it looses edge easily. I rate the corrosion

endurance of the stainless as unsatisfactory for salt water use, (i.e 2 stars).

After re-sharpening, I needed to coat the blade with auto polymer polish to

reduce rusting and spotting.
