electric knives

[ReelTime]

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.

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.
