Is there a reason to not just use the same knife I cut my turkey with? Or is the reason that it might make the knife stink.

Depends on what knife you use to cut the turkey !!Quote:

Nope. That is exactly how I found out I liked using an electric knife for filleting crappies. The bad part was my wife lost her electric knife because I burned it up on the first batch of fish I tried it on. :yikes It was a Black & Decker...no big loss there. Now she uses my electric knife on the turkey. It all worked out in the end. :biggrinQuote:

I was going to try the B&D after hearing about it here. Low and behold they were out, so I got the Mr Twister. Had I not been able to replace that #&!^#*$ curled excuse for a cord, I'd have regretted it. After using it the 1st time, the cord got replaced with a 15' straight cord, MUCH nicer.
Since it's my 1st knife I have nothing to compare it to. I would however like to hold an AA just to see if it fits my hand a bit better. Nothing negative to say about the Mister Twister so far.
Oh....and I'm an electric knife convert :biggrin
The knives that are serrated seem to cut through bones better while filleting. The most important thing that will help keep more of the fish and make filleting a much easier job is to keep the blade sharp. All brands have worked well and some blades will interchange. I am trying to find a good blade sharpener that will do straight and serrated blades. Is there any 1st hand experience out there? Thanks for any details. I only use non-electric knives on large fish. Get a friend that uses an electric to show you the right way and you won't go back.
I have been using the AA for years. Could not find blades and bought a
MT. Tried the blades in the AA and they fit and work fine. Bought new blades for the MT
and it is ready if I ever need it. Any one know where to Get AA blades?

Grizzly jig sells them and also have the shark blades for them.
This is just the discussion I was looking for! I am looking to buy my first electric knife, I actually thew fish back last year because I had more than I wanted to clean. I am hoping the electric will remedy that.
I was torn between 12 DC and 120 AC, I clean most of my fish on the tailgate of my truck at the camp site and we always get an electric campsite. I think I will go 120 AC, on the rare occasion a outlet will not be available I'll just go back to my manual standby...
Does the B&D at Wally world come with different blades?
I had a Rapala for years and did great, finally died so I went and got one almost like it and its crap. I do have a pile of blades for it though. I may try sharpening them.
I was in Tractor Supply Friday getting rabbit feed and they had the Rapala brand on clearance for $19, normally $39.95.
So I own a Rapala now. It came with the electric knife and blades, along with a regular 9" fillet knife and a DVD. I watched the DVD this weekend, it never even made mention of the electric knife! It was all about using the regular fillet knife?
I was rather disappointed in the DVD, I hope I like the knife better.
