Electric Knife

**Missouri Bushwhacker** · 11-10-2015, 03:11 PM

I used green mister twisters for long time, then went to the blue twister piranha, tried many different blades. Updgraded to Rapala Heavy Duty. Honestly for crappie any brand does great as long as the blades are new. I like the Rapala cause it has a better, supposedly has 2x power and 3 times torque. Not sure I can tell that but I do know it does not get hot after use. However now I see green twister have upgraded to more power and torque and are 1/3 price. If I had to all over I would go green twister and buy more blades.

I gave less than 30 for my American Angler with 2 sets of blades. It's lasted 4 years without any sign of slowing down.

I have a Rapala cordless that so far has work great, but then again I rarely have many fish to clean. LOL

Hamilton Beach from Walley World. It boils down the how many amps the motor is. Rapala & Berkley I believe are 25 amps. HB is 100 amps. Same as American Angler. If you ever run the 25 amp knives next to a 100 amp, you will have an Aha moment and really see the difference in blade speed. Also, the Berkley replacement blades fit the HB.
Happy Cleaning.

try 1.2 amps for an electric knife, some houses only have a 100 amp service for the whole house, but 100 amp knife would be fast

haha that's a good one clfarms1...real good information between you and TNfisher. I have several electrics that I switch between. I definitely notice differences and now I know why!

Mister Twister is decent for the money....I think my Browning is the best electric knife I've ever used , although it is a bit more expensive. I've cleaned thousands of fish with it and have only had trouble with the trigger...which I fixed myself. The Walmart one is ok if you only catch a few fish a month...any more than that and it will fail. If someone tells you that a regular fillet knife is faster than a decent electric knife, they're just trying to pat them self on the back...it's just not true.

I've got the rapala heavy duty and I love it. It's also my first electric knife, so that might have something to do with it
