Electric filet knife

[Pooch]

My vote goes to the Mister Twister. I've had mine for twenty years and it's still going strong. It's the 110 volt model.---Pooch

Here is the customer service number for the "makers" (actually made in China) of the American Angler Fillet Knives:

Douglas "Quickut"? Is this guy for real? What a name for a knife maker. He's a real candidate for the "Name Matches The Job Club"!

The best knife I have ever used hands down was the old black & decker slim grip. Never got to hot to hold and the blade was flexible enough to fillet crappie so well that I swear you could read a newspaper through the meat it left behind. Best part of all they sold for less than $10 at Wal-mart. :p

We never needed the pointed tip on an elec. knife anyway as we always rib with pearing knifes.

A little tip for you all that I have learned that helps the fillet process.

Keep a bucket/pitcher of water, deep enough to submerge your blades handy while you are using your knife.
About every 3 fish dunk the blades into the water and run the knife for a few seconds. This seems to keep the flesh from building up between the blades, and the knife moves smoother thru you fillet.

Hope this helps.

My fishing buddy has a Mister Twister that he has a problem with the
meat build up between the blades. I have never had that problem with the American angler.
Are you using the Twister?

I have an American Angler and I love it. Never had any trouble with it yet.

No Joe,
I have an American Angler, but no Mister Twister. I use the cheap ones.
I use the American Angler for Red Snapper and large salt water fish that I catch.

I find that if the fish come out of my livewell this happens more often then when they have been on ice.
