WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

Last fall my electric knife crapped out on me and I normally don't keep many fish till this time of the year so it has not been a need for a new one till now. Cleaned some after the Butla tourney, someone added to ours we already had, with a regular fillet knife, a good one but just don't like cleaning 15 or so with a regular knife. At Wally World the other day was looking and they had a couple of cheapo's and then they had the 89 dollar Ammerican, after much thought I went ahead and got the high dollar knife and am glad I did. When I got finished the knife wasn't hot, warm but not hot. Had a big bowl of fillets and a 5 gallon bucket running over with guts. Think the knife is a keeper and very pleased.
PS: This knife not recomended for them itlle bitty fesh, it would eat them slam up!!!!

Mine is 17 years old and going strong.

I've had some problems with mine not cutting good. I've used the shark blade and regular blade. Might just be me though.

Bout like anything else. U will get some good responses and some bad. I give them a five star because I have had a lot of cheap knives in my day that didn't make it a week. I have three American anglers and I have not been able to tear them up. I used to clean 40 fish at a time with one but now I clean a dozen or so and swap them out. Or if I'm by myself I clean a dozen then rib a while and then start back. This is just an estimate but I'm estimating my oldest of the three has cleaned close to 5,000 fish. Flat heads, blue cat, and crappie. These are good knives and worth every penny.

My old one was the blue AA and I can't remember when I bought it, LONG time ago. I do ribs with the electric too so no rest for it much when I start. Matter a fact I cut the ribs out when I flip the fillet over and then take the fillet off the skin. I am pleased for sure, got the fall camp fish done now its time to put us some up.

If your talking about the new orange handle AA knife then that's what I'm currently using. So far really like it. I picked up and extra set of shark blades from Louie at the Grizzly Jig Spring Tackle Show and enjoy those as well.

Thats the one, may have to get a set of the shark blades too.
