Since this thread has started, I have bought a 12 volt American Angler, 110volt AA, 110 volt mister twister, BD from walmart, and a Buba Blade. I have also got some Cutco and Havalon knifes. The BDs (White one and Black ones) run strong, but the gears strip out soo quick! they are not worth the $13. We are all on agreement with Rapala. I have also went through several AA MT3 (their all metal transmission), they are no good either at $99 each! Now they do not even make them! I probably broke them on the return policy! The mister twister is good, no complaints other than the short coiled cord! AA is by far the best electric knife. We have one that we call the Warrior, its 5 years old!The new 12volt AA was strong, and slid right through my catfish (i do not go through ribs, though) It is not underpowered. The 110 volt AA was the same. My Cutco's do get dull, regardless of what they tell you. The blade is too floppy to push right through crappie ribs. They are over priced. I have 3 of them. The Havalon is great to use as a scalpel, not a filleting knife. Finally, my son got me a Bubba blade last week. I cleaned the eucha fish with it. It is by far the best knife i have cleaned with! I would say it cut my cleaning time in half almost and was less effort than a good electric knife! If the Bubba blade can stand the test of time, I am now done with electric!
