    If your going to look at the bubba blade look at the reviews. I have not had either one but many of the reviews that I have read on them say that you can get a Forschner fillet knife for about half the price and they are supposed to be a good fillet knife. You may also want to search some previous threads on the same thing. I am an electric guy, but I have used the wood handled Rapala and it worked good for me.

    Rapala are still good and most even the cheap off brands are suprize'nly sharp. I recommend a good steel to maintain the sharp straight edge over sharpening them too often wearing them down.

    Many people can sharpen a knife well. I am not one.

    I got one of these, and now it almost doesn't matter what kind of knife I use. I know I can sharpen it and it will work great.

    Yes Mickey has one and they work good but each sharpening removes metal, use a steel after each use to straighten blade edge and it will stay sharp much longer without removing metal.

    If your going with an electric fillet knife check out the salt water type they tell me the gears are metal they cost a little bit more, but the next time I buy one. I think that's the way go.
