Thread: Electric fillet knife

My american angler stripped gears after one year so I just bought a new piranha. I prefer the straight blades. Just hope the piranha last longer than the angler did.

I have the piranha and love it. Works really well.

I love my new piranha, its a great knife so far..only a few hundred crappie so far..I had its little brother,,the green and yellow one,,it bit the dust in short order..but so far,,loving the piranha.

I was sadly disappointed in my pirahna. It ain't got the umph I was expecting after reading all the hype on it. Its not necessarily a bad knife, just not much better than the rest.

I am leaning towards the piranha. I think I will like the straight blades, but wasn't sure how well they would work. I have a berkley now, and its been a piece of junk since I bought it. Either one will be a better knife than it.

As long as it's as good as I've heard the2 are, I'll be happy. It has to be better than the Berkley. Anything over about a 9" crappie and it struggles to go through.

I have owned several different kinds and the American Angler has held up best for me, especially on larger numbers of catfish at one time. And yes I have had problems with them too but fewer problems.

I have and use the American Angler with metal gears. It has held up very nicely for the last 4 years. I dont plan on buying any other brand.
