    Default favorite fillet knife/ or electric knife?


    i have always used a traditional fillet knife. the knifes are not that great and dull quick making you have to resharpen often or making filleting a chore. so whats your favorite knife? or electric knife? i have never used electric before? is it alot nicer or easier with electric?? im sure they dont need replaced that often.. but are they easy to control on smaller fish like crappie, perch and gills?

    Oh boy.....here we go! I'll start it off. American Angler electric fillet knife. Who's next?
    If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.:rolleyes:

    Wonna them 8 dollar black and decker electric carving from rural king works just as good, then cut out rib cages with 4 inch fillet knife

    Got a 7" Rapala manual fillet knife, flexible and holds an edge well enough to get through a limit (25) of crappie. I usually give it a quick touch up on a steel before I start a batch of fish. Takes less than a minute to fillet a fish and I don't end up with guts and eggs all over my cutting board like I do when I tried an electric.

    I use the electric Rapala with the cord. Works good for me. I know a couple of other guys I fish with that use them and like them.

    I used to be a big American Angler fan but the last one I bought will probably be the last one I'll ever buy. Looks to be much cheaper made than the ones I used to get. The one before it only lasted a couple of months and when I took it apart I saw where the screws had worked out of it.

    I saw where someone recommended buying one of the old ones from the 1960's. (I think it was called an EK1) My buddy used to have an old one and used it for over 20 years. I looked it up on ebay and bought one. Liked it so much, I bought another one for a back up. Cost 1/2 what the A.A. ones cost. Very satifised, bigger motor, stiffer blade. They really don't make them like they used too. Have bought several A.A. over the years. THAT'S THE PROBLEM!

    I do use a small rapala knife to cut around the ribs.

    Have also splurged and bought a real good German steel fillet knife from Williams Sonova (or whatever the name is) that is high quality and should last a long, long time.
