Just placed a order with grizzly jig and added one of these to my order. the lady up there said they had gotten a bunch of complaints on bad ones so they sent all they had in stock back to them. she offered me the mr twister but i don't think i want one of those. anybody had any problems out of the american angler elec knife lately???
I have been thru several high priced electric fillet knives that would not hold up. I now use the lower priced Mr. Twister and it has done me a good job.
I bet I have filleted over 5000 fish with the one I have. Been through many sets of blades and the knife is still running strong.
Which one would that be?Quote:

there are two listed in grizzly's catalog, a number 31613 for $31.95 and a 31300 MT3 series that goes for 69.95. i assume the latter is a more powerful or a heavier duty unit than the first one.Quote:

Used the mr. twister for years and tryied the american angler with the shark blade and its all i use goes right thru them rib cages on a 3 lber.
I've got the American Angler with the shark blades and it does a great job. I like their blades better than what comes with the Mister Twister. Just personal preference though.
I have a model #31225-0906 that's at least 3 years old. It was a kit that came with three different blades and a case. So fat it has done all I have asked of it. If it croaked today, I'd look for another.
Mine croaked yesterday while carvin a ham for a church social. Guess I'm in the market as well. Mine made a serious pop just as she quit.
Shark blades from Grizzly with any knife.
I have been using one that was made for carving hams and turkey for several years, it has a slightly slower rpm to it but it is still going strong. I can recall the name of it though as it has worn off and can no longer read it. I will have to take off the cover and see if it is printed inside somewhere.
Is the Mr. Twister comfortable to hold? I think I used one not to long ago but not sure it was someone elses at a ramp and it was awkward to me.
I've been using my american angler for a 3-4 years. I rarely ever clean more than 15 or so though as that makes more than a good mess for us. I use my chainsaw file and just keep sharpening the blades.
The MT I have has a very comfortable trigger on the bottom just right for my index finger. I can use it at any angle I need to filet a slab... and it doesn't choke down in large ribs either.
i emailed american angler and got a reply from a lady by the name of pat out of walnut ridge ark. she says they no longer make the mt series and all they supply now is the 31600 series........
I use a Black and Decker home version and it hasn't given me a minutes problem and I have had it for 10 years.
Been using the Black&Decker slim grip for a long, long time. Love 'em. The one I'm using now is 10 years old. Still kicking.Thumbs Up
I, too, use the Black&Decker. 20 years old and still going strong.
I bought the amer angler salt water a couple of years ago and it broke as soon as I started using it. Bought it because of those skinny blades it came with. Called them and they wouldnt send me the part that was broke inside. So I pieced it together with so I pieced it together with some old parts from another knife and then I gave it to my son. A buddy that cooks in BBQ contests gave me a couple of the ones they use to cut pork and turkey. They work just as good. Bottom line, I think they are all the same even if it doesn't say 'fish'.
