Thread: Electric Knives

are blades on electric knives interchangeable? I had no idea some were..

Some are some are not. From what I read in this thread apparently the Mr. Twister blades fit the Bubba. We have 3 of the older American made (2 12v 1 110) American knives, made in Walnut Ridge AR when they play out the bubba looks like the deal

Well now that's interesting. The short blades that came with my Bubba have had the backs cut away. They work ok on the bigger crappie but the smaller feesh get mangled in a hurry as the bones are no match for the Bubba. I like the full backed blades but don't like using the 3 1/12 ft long set up.
Is this the same reason you like the Twister blades?

Just got a Bubba battery knife for Christmas and have not used it yet. I have several older Mr. Twister blades and will heed this advise. On another note, can these Mr. Twister blades be sharpened efficiently or it is better just to get new ones?

I have sharpened mister twister blades, I have a worksharp belt type sharpener and they did cut better, I would have to look at the instructions but I believe it sharpens on the smooth side not the serrated side. I have also swiped the serrated side on a smaller diameter knife steel and that worked also. I probably need to experiment with sharpening them more.

I've been involved in knife sharpening as a side job for years. cattoon is right in this style blade needs to be resharpened on the flat, but very lightly as they are designed for a certain gap between blades to eliminate friction but as that gap grows product can get between and cause unnecessary separation. It is just not worth messing with other than a touch up or two till they can be replaced. That's a lot of fish before they need touched up. If the tips are damaged from hitting the table or something just pitch them and get new. Sharpening the serrated side is possible but not really worth the hassle.

I will admit I don’t catch as many fish as all you pros so i don’t get to use my knife as much as you guys/gals. My wife bought me the bubba cordless for Father’s Day last year and i love it. It sure beats running cords from my inverter in the truck or being dependent on power. The only thing i wish they would have done is make the back of the batteries flat so you could stand them up instead of laying them down. Just seems like it would be nice to have it standing up. Can’t give an opinion on how long it will last since I have only had it about 8 months and only caught one fish (LOL).

Welp, I wanted to be like everyone here so bought a cordless bubba today...I had an old corded berkley knife that was a PITA, was constantly having to mess with the fuse to keep it lit and just doesnt have much power for anything past decent sized crappies....never paid more than $20 for a filet knife in my life, how times change...
