    I use an old Black and Decker straight blade slim grip. I have cleaned buckets of fish with it. It's starting getting a little warm after 30 or so fish. The next one May not be worth a flip but this one is at least 12 years old!

    I have the new Rapala Ion cordless knife and I really like it, so far. I bought an extra battery, but a single battery will fillet over 30 fish. I filleted over 70 fish Friday and still had good power on the second battery. That's the Ion model, not the old one.

    American Angler. No questions. I have one that is 15 or 20 years old that works like a charm. New blades every few years.

    I strongly recommend you go to ebay, search American made electric knife, and buy the style that you prefer. You can buy vintage American made, near new, in the box for $15-20 including shipping. I had an American made Hamilton Beach knife that was given to me and the wife when we got married almost 30 years ago and it lasted till a couple of years ago. I have since went thru new Rapala, Mister Twister, and whatever brand electric knife WalMart had. They were ALL Chinese JUNK!
    I now have a Regal (it's the most power), a General Electric straight handle, and a straight handle Hamilton Beach. They are all AMERICAN made and are head and shoulders above the Chinese NEW knives. I should now be set for life.....

    I used to use American Angler but not anymore. In my opinion, you are better off spending money on an old one that hasn't been used too much than a new one. Bad reviews (3 out of 5) from what I've seen on the new higher priced one. Like many, I would spend more money for one that was good enough to be used commercially. I want one made to last.

    i look for the old 60's sunbeam electric carving knives at garage sales ive had couple different electic fillet knives but ive burned them up pretty quick. i also like the flexibility of the old electric knives and i think they stay sharper longer.

It was just made to carve turkeys and roasts I guess. I was american made though.
    I am still using an old G.E. electric knife that I got as a safety prize back in the 60's when I was working for DuPont. This thing has been the best electric knife I have ever seen. It has cleaned a lot of fish over the last forty something years. Made in the USA, I wouldn't swap it for a tow sack full of the China made junk.

    Have used an American Angler for over ten years and literally 1000's of fish, and other than replacing blades, has not gave me any trouble
