Decisions......decisions
You guys are killing me! Just when I thought I made a decision you guys are making me second guess. Ugh! I don't mind paying the money for a quality knife but some of you are making some good arguments for the B&D. I would at least have to buy it somewhere besides Walmart.....I despise their practices.

I will check with Cutcher this weekend and let you all know what knife he is using. It looked like a regular electric kitchen knife for carving hams, turkeys and standing rib roasts. Like I said I cannot imagine him using anything that is not reliable and durable. I think the B&D knives are also available at Meijer in Sandusky.

I have 4 American Angler electric knives and I haven't wore out any of them. The first one I bought about 10 years ago and it still works fine. When you clean them you need to keep water out of the inside of the knife motor. I use a rag w/ rubbing alcohol to clean the knife. My fishing buddies have gone through several Mister Twister knives they only last about 2 years.
The American Angler knife has the shark blade which goes through a walleye like a hot knife in butter. The blade is very thin and has hardly no drag when going through a walleye.
DON'T BUY A RECHARGEABLE!!! I bought an American Angler rechargeable and it was a total piece of $hit. It had no power and I couldn't even fillet 2 walleye before it went dead. I got so pissed off because it was the only knife I had with me, the rest of my knives were @ home. I slammed the POS into the concrete @ my marina and it busted into a couple hundred pieces. It felt so good to do that but there went $56 I would have gotten if I took it back for a refund.

Cutcher's uses a regular $15 Black & Decker electric kitchen knife from Wal-Mart. I've watched him clean walleye with it several times. He keeps several new ones on his shelf and says after a few thousand fish if one breaks or gets dull he just tosses it in the trash and breaks out a new one. He dips the blades in water between 3 or 4 fish.
American Angler used to have a model that was labeled "MT" which stands for metal transmission. I still have a couple of them and have clean lots of fish with them. They were way more durable than the newer ones that have plastic gears. When these stop cutting I will just by a couple of the B&D Wally World specials.Last edited by ReelTime; 07-13-2014 at 10:44 AM.

When is someone going to come out with a good electric knife. I'd pay 150.00 if you could fill et fish with it for 10+ years. I have also burnt up piranhas. Mr. Twisters. Rapala. Rapala lithium battery style..Etc ..sad there isn't a professional model out on the market.

Boss it's by 10 of the $15 Black & Deckers. I'm sure they will last at least a year each. Do the math...

ReelTime,
I get it, just surprising that you can buy everything else in this world from low end to high end, but in electric fillet knives there are only low end.

hey I started fishing Bula with Larry and we got a lot of big eyes over the weekend, My HD rapala knife was left in huron so we purchased a B&D for $12.00 at Walmart, It got the job done but really struggled on fish over 25 inches, you could feel the blades flexing and the knife got hot. The HD I purchased for 49 bucks on sale regular price 59 bucks performed 3 times faster than the B&D on larger fish and didn't get warm. We had a few walleyes in the 22 inch range and the B&d worked ok. If your not in a hurry to clean fish and don't use it a lot the B&D is a great option. I personally would buy the HD rapalla. The regular rapalla model that comes in the deluxe kit for 79 works no better than the B&D knife.
