Thread: Electric Knife

Go to Walmart and buy their white electric knife in the cooking section. It works as well as any and only cost around $11. I've used about every type and brand and this is best for money and last just as long

I use the American Angler, but it is a older model. I understand Rapala makes a good one. For $11 the Walmart one might do.

AMERICAN angler for electric knife. Also have two Bubba Blades. Takes some practice but once you get used to them you can be just as quick as an electric knife. 9 inch flex. 9 inch stiffie check the website out. Rips right through the ribs.

Walmart $11 cheapie. Best I've used yet!

I've used the Hamilton Beach from Wal Mart. Worked fine. I'm using a Mister Twister right now. Works fine. I've used the Rapala, worked fine, but I personally didn't like it. It was borrowed and had a funky blade design that I wasn't used to... Basically, I think most brand knives are fine and will do the job. I suggest to not get too $$ invested in whatever you choose, because there's very effective models available for $20 or less. I don't look at electric knives as a one time purchase, I consider them disposable and a cost of doing business Ha ! Therefore, I don't get too $$ invested in any of them. I'm on year 4 with my Mister Twister, other than needing a good sharpening it doesn't show any signs of crapping out on me anytime soon. If it does, I won't be disappointed. I got 4 years out of a $20 purchase. In my eyes, the life of a knife is maintaining good sharp blades. Sharp blades reduce the stress on the motor which preserves the life of the knife.

Mister twister best I have found I have a cordless Rapala which is fine if no power but the blades run to slow compared to the Mister Twister when it gets dull they sell replacement blades not sure how to sharpen serrated blades.

DKB I've seen those youtube video's the bubba blades look pretty sweet, but I don't trust my self with one of those suckers. I'd have one to many victory drinks and fillet my finger! I might give the walmart knife a shot and if that doesn't suit me I will always have an $11 backup to keep in the boat....

My to 30 year old Rapalas work just fine and my diamond sharpener and honing steel keeps them working fine. I can actually shave with them!
