Thread: Electric knife

I use name brands too. B&D, Hamilton Beach (wherever that is) and whatever others I find new in the box at goodwill for 3 or 4 bucks when the last one quits. I like the one I have now, slender handle and good placement of the trigger. Does fine and I do less than 15 at a time.

These blades can also be sharpened if you are a patient person. Crock stones (ceramic) come in different diameters. If yo look around and find on close to what the valleys in the blade are, you can one by one make a big improvement on an otherwise disappointing blade. Doesn't take long once you get a rhythm and keep the angle the same.

Found a shop close by, that will sharpen them for $5 each. $10 a set. Promised to be better than new, factory blades. We will see. Dropped 3 sets yesterday.

The B&D is an E500, not 700' my mistake. Picked up all three sets of blades and my belt knife, from the sharpening shop this afternoon, seem really nice. Much more aggressive angle to the new grind. Wierd paying for a sharping job, been doing my own since I was a pup. But I'm not set up for serated knifes and don't want to learn. My remaining days are too short, to spend time on that. Will know in a couple of weeks, with the next bucket of fish...

It doesn't really matter. It's the grip and its power that I'm mainly concerned about

Hey Yonder, where are you down heah? No town in your location. Have to come and join one of the Slabtogethers. Lots of good folks and fun too.

You near Geneva?

For 12v the Berkeley is very nice. I bought one of the american angler 12v that were recently available from them and found it lacks power vs the Berkeley. For 120v the mister twister green is great!
