Electric fillet knife suggestions?
#1
I am looking into buying an electric fillet knife for the first time but I'm a little overwhelmed with the available choices. I am considering the Mister Twister Pirahna model but I'm not quite sure yet. Any suggestions! Which models do you use? What do you think are the pros or cons? Thank you in advance!

Once again Tubedude is right on the money. We use an American Angler, and it had cut over 1000 fillets and is still going strong. Ours came from good old Sportsman's.
I don't know how other many brands use two blades that scissor back and forth like our AA does, but that type works very good. DKS.

FYI... I just got a Valentines Day present from my wife a day early and it is an electric fillet knife. It is packaged in a Browning Fishing black plastic storage case, but the knife is made by American Angler. It is really nice. It comes with a 120V plug for the wall, plus a cigarette lighter plug for you car/truck and then it has an adapter you plug the cigarette plug into that has two clips so you can clip it on a 12V battery. I used one exactly like it last week to fillet whitefish from Bear Lake and it worked awesome. Much better than the no-name electric knife I've been using for the last 7 years. It was about $25 from Bass Pro Shops.

I can also vouch for the American Angler brand of filleting knives. I have both the 120v and 12v models and they work great. The 12v model I've taken on camping trips and comes in really handy around camp. I've had mine for about three years, and were both picked up at K-mart at a clearance price, $10 each, which I think were pretty good deals. I recommend buying a pair of 6" blades for filleting smaller fish like perch and bluegills. My knives have gone through hundreds of fish, including tough ones like some good-sized channel catfishand, and are still holding up really well. Good luck on your purchase.
