Electric Knife

I have the Rapala heavy duty for the last 2 years and it has been the last one I have had in my hands to date. It doesn't get hot and Wal-Mart carries the replacement blades. They feel good in your hand but a little heavier than the American Angler. I got 5 American Anglers in the junk box and I don't no how many Wal-Mart HB in there with them. I haven't used the Mister Twister so I can't comment on that on. The tell of the tape is when you go cleaning a bunch of white bass and you will feel the difference in the heat build up on Rapala heavy duty. It will get warm but it does not get to hot to do any damage to motor..

I bought one today for $48 from Dick's Sporting Goods ... one day sale, good till 11 PM. Free shipping. Go to Dick's Sporting Goods website for info.

Ive got the Rapala HD and it works for me, but I usually don't have many to clean.

if you have less than four different electric knives of different brands and four regular fillet knives.....you ain't got enough. I have a set of those real skinny blades for the American anglers I have...I kinda like them.Nut I use em all at different times. I have always had just one woman in my life.So I compensated by having to many boats,guns,and knives. The only electric knife I hate is one that gets hot when you clean 200 fish HAHA LOL BooYAh

I got an American Angler that my boys got me for father day over 20 years ago and it was the best I have ever used until one day this last spring when I was cleaning some fish and was bragging about it to others at the fish cleaning station and when I went to show them it , it slipped out of my hands from the fish slim and straight onto the concrete. Ugh, karma got me.

Talked to a guy in Kentucky this weekend that had his 22 years! That says it for me.

Black & Decker Slice Right Electric Knife at Walmart. A guide at Mark Twain was using one of these, had been on the same set of blades for 2 years. I've found them good and reliable. Around $12-13 depending on your location.

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 have a browning as well, but all they did was put their name on it. American Angler made it for Browning.

Well, I never threw that fillet knife away so I got it out yesterday to see if I could repair it and low and behold it works just fine again without doing anything to it but to wrap some electrical tape around the housing where it broke and then I cleaned yeaterdays catch with it. Karma is also forgiving.

Just a heads up ... in one of the previews of ads on Black Friday, Gander Mt. will have the Rapala HD fillet knife on sale for $39.99. A good price if you're in market for one. Not sure if that will be the online price, in case you don't live near a store. Check their website.
