Its a shame I didn't read this 30 minutes ago. I just bought and used a B&D electric knife from Walmart. Hope there isn't a huge deference.
Ive used American Angler, Mister Twister (yellow and green) and the Piranha (blue and white) Mr. Twister. All have worked OK and Ive worn out a few of the first two mentioned. I get the Piranha pretty hot at times cleaning limits of fish now. Ive had it a year. From reviews Ive watched on U-tube the Rapala Heavy Duty for @ $50 will be my next fillet knife. It's stated to be 3 times the knife of all the others mentioned. It's even rated better than the Bubba knives in a few of the reviews from commercial fishermen on U-tube. Time will tell..........
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Have owed and wore out several!
I now have the cordless bubba and wouldn’t have anything else !
All y’all high dollar folks. I buy mine at the goodwill, a couple of them were 3 whole dollars and last a few years. Can’t begin to tell you what brands. Sometimes they don’t last and some last a good long while. I hardly keep any fish anymore, much less a limit, and have gone back to the old standby Rapala knife. All kidding aside, I’ve never bought a good one but I will buy another one day. The cordless sounds like a good deal. But my knives from the goodwill, that’s the truth.

I haven't had much luck with electric knives. I usually cut too deep or something. I find the old time method with a sharp knife is nearly as fast cleaning fish as with the electric knife. Having to cut the ribs out after the electric knife is used just makes the process seem longer. But I am old school. Perhaps too old.
Go cheap. I bought a 12V American Angler over 25 years ago and it still works. Never changed the blades and could not count the number of fished I've cleaned with it. I also have a 120V DC I recently bought from Academy. It was also a cheap-o model and seems to work fine. Only had it a year but it works great for now. I use the 120V when I'm fishing from base camp with my RV. The 12V I use at home when just driving to and from fishing. Just plug it in to the boat and clean the fish in the backyard next to the shop. More convenient than running an extension cord. Just keep the motors dry and don't try to clean to large of a fish with large bones with them (like 20 lbs red snapper or such.)

Thanks for all the feedback guys, very helpful…..that Bubba electric knife looks really nice and impressive but that’s way more then I’m willing to pay. I didn’t want to spend a whole lot just something that will get the job done without hassle. I ended up buying a Hamilton beach electric knife from Walmart for $32. Came with a 9” and a 5” blade. Great reviews on Amazon but I’m sure majority aren’t cleaning fish with it LOL. It says it has a “powerful 120 watt” motor….but who knows, all I’m going to clean with it is crappie. If it stinks I can always return it, but do you all think this will do the job?
