Hooked blade stanley knife
I have read that a hooked blade stanley knife is a handy tool when filleting sharks. That would be consistent with cutting the skin from the inside which is the way to go.

Cat shark
Cat shark and shrt easy to fillet.
You have got to slide the knife in under the skin and cut up from the inside otherwise the edge on your knife won't last more than 2 or 3 cuts
