What's the Best electric fillet knife

[Don G]

How do the EK 600 and 700 look in comparison?

EK 600 & 700 have larger handles....The comfort factor went away when the EK 100 & 200 were replaced..

Um
.. Why not get a regular fillet knife instead?

Not to be rude, but have you ever used an electric filet knife? Them other thangs is work!!!

A friend of mine I fish with uses a regular fillet knife, but only if there are a few to clean. He has never used an electric knife, and won't try, but if there is a bunch to clean, guess who has to get out the electric knife to make short time of it!! There's nothing wrong with the regular fillet knife if you want to spend alot of time cleaning the fish, but I like to stand around and drink, which you have more time to do if you use an electric knife!!!!!!

I prefer a SHARP regular knife over a electric knife. It's much easier for me to follow the spine and get the most meat out of a crappie. The meats too precious to let some get away!

Tried electic, but after tearing up three I haven't bought another. Got tired of gears stripping, not being able easily sharpen dull blades, and plain ol' burning 'em up. Don't have those problems with a regular knife.

Most folks I know that don't like regular knifes don't know how to sharpen a knife. If it's sharp, like shaving the hair on your arms sharp, a regular knife works wonders.

I post this on every "electric filet knife" thread:::::::

If anyone ever finds a new Black & Decker EK-100 or EK-200 please let me know.....Thumbs UpThumbs Up

I have used them all and the B&D 100 or 200(2 blades) is the best in my opinion...Hands ClappingHands Clapping

I am looking for these exact same knives. I could get so much meat with them you could read the paper thru them. They really messed up when they changed them.

You want a regular knife sharp, but not to sharp, or you will cut through the skin instead of taking the meat off the skin. I use an electric Rapala to fillet and use a regular Rapala to cut out the ribs. That works best for me. EB

I have a Rapala that works great, but my rather is the wife's Oster electric knife. Accepts any blade you can buy for fillet knives and is comfortable, stays cool, has fast action. I can flat out clean anyone I know when it is in my hands. It's old, but I'll use it till it smokes.

I use a crapala. That's what is, but hey I own it. Shouldn't last to
Long anyway.

I have read through all these post and they are now older. I was wondering if anyone had any newer opinions on filet knives. I am wanting to get one for my husband for his birthday. Thanks!

Still love my American angler. I've cleaned a lot of crappies with this thing.
