old knife gave up on me and its time to get a new one. I was thinking I would like a rechargeable one but haven't found a good one yet .I guess corded would be ok but being able to clean fish were there is no power would be nice.so who has a knife they just love?
Bubba !!
I'll second the Bubba blade. I have the corded model and I love it. I can't speak for the cordless model firsthand, but I have heard good reviews from fishing buddies that have one. Another, slightly cheaper, option for a corded knife is the heavy duty rapala or the regular rapala. The gray/black model that's larger is more heavy duty and it was a very good knife for me for years before finally the plastic blade holder inside the knife broke. The regular rapala was a favorite of mine of years, but I went through 1 every year or two. I think rapala has a cordless model as well, but I don't know anything about it.
5 years ago I got a new unused American Angler 12 volt at an auction for $10. Used a bunch and still works great.

$30 buck mr. twister ftw...
I've got a cordless Bubba. Comes in a nice case with 2 rechargeable batteries, charger and 4 sets of blades. Best electric knife on the market IMO. Got a great deal on it at Sportsman's Outfitters back in December.
Does the Bubba get hot?
I got a regular household model with the rapala filet blades. Works fine, but get freaking hot in my hand....kind of a good problem I guess.
I haven't noticed it getting hot.
been using Mr Twister forever never a problem, never gotten hot cleaning a couple limits of fish.
I love my cordless bubba, and my 7” bubba knife. I even got my cordless for $65! I cleaned 150 fish the other night on 1 (not full) charge.
were do you get them for 65 bucks
They have had a sale the passed week or so, and they do them quite often. I also get an additional 30% off because I’m active duty military and have membership through a site that allows me to be affiliated with bubbaQuote:

Well, I just jumped on the Bubba Bandwagon... Bass pro has the bubba electric on for $69 ... I'll give it a go at that price
Please give us a report after you have used it for a while I have been contemplating a different electric knife.Quote:

I still have mine from about 20 years ago. Only trouble is the blades are tricky to get out sometimes. I can’t imagine how many fish it has gone thru!Quote:
