American Angler

 

I use the generic one you buy at wally world. Same one that does the turkey. Lasts a long time and inexpensive.

 

I also use the regular household electric knife (Proctor Silex). Works great & lasts. I use it even on the rib cage bone removal. I get several years use out of it easy & I filet lots of perch.

 

I've been using a Black & Decker that I got at Wally world a few weeks ago for $9.86. Previously had been using an American Angler but it finally bit the dust. While I liked/prefer the American Angler, for a third of the price, i'll probably stick with the B&D for now.

 

I bought a Mister Twister Saltwater at Happy Hooker and love it.

 

Have an American Angler Ultra that I've been using last 8 yrs still going strong , just blade getting a bit dull... But for 1/4 cost you can get the B&D or Proctor Silex from Walley World and heard it last several yrs

 

a gentleman at the fish cleaning station this past weekend had two american angler knives which flew through limits of eyes and perch all weekend. once one would start to warm up to the touch, he would switch to the other to avoid overheating. (just a thought for any electric knife so you don't burn one up)

 

Hamilton beach at wally world, $19.
First one last longer than the blades

 

what rapala knife do you have ? combo 110/12 volt or just 110 volt, I have both and the 110 has much more power then the dual voltage !!

 

had an american angler lasted 3 yrs so now got the b&d for 10 bucks gonna try that

 

Honostly keep your mister twister, just stretch the crap out of the cord, I had one for 8-10 years and cleaned 1000's of fish before it finally died, you will be hard pressed to find a better one. or hold it a different way.

 

i have 2 proctor and gamble carving knifes that i had to buy at wall mart last year because i forgot my american angler knifes. and they didnt have anything elce, and they was only like 9.00 each. they work better than any of the regular fillet knifes i have used so far. and i have used a bunch. the american angler has been the best of the regular fillet knifes so far. i have used the mr twister,s and some saltwater knife and a cabelas and a few more. and whatever you do dont get the ones that will work off 110v or 12v. they dont have enough power for nothin.

The wife bought be a berkley electric fillet knife a few months ago. While I can't say how durable it is I can say I'm very pleased with it so far.

 

Mr Twister Pirahna (saltwater) is about the only decent option out there now that the american angler mt3(metal transmission) has been discontinued.

That's the one I have now that the green/yellow took a dump. It's a nice knife. I like the 10 inch blade for big walleye and salmon.

 

Thanks for all your suggestions. I noticed that the American Angler MT3 has been discontinued plus those are about $80-$90. That Mister twister Piranha for about $35-$40 might be the ticket. Maybe get a B&B from wally world to use as a relief every couple fish.

The knife I've been using seems like the blades need to be sharpened. Anyone have any luck sharpening those serrated blades???

 

I have both the American Angler (lastest production-made in USA) and the Mister Twister. I didn't care for the straight blade on the MT so I adapted the curved AA to fit. Both do a fine job but the new AA is a smoother running motor and drive system IMO.

 

Mister Twister's now just came out with a scaling attachment for the new pirana and let me tell you it's the great tool I've used in years. check it out.

 

you might want to check out ebay. they usely have a bunch of electric fillet knifes.

I've been using the Wal-Mart, $10 B&D EK700 this year, and it has worked very well.

 

I just got a new rapala and found that it does not have the power to go through the bigger fish. I am going to send it back.

Serrated knife blades and gut hooks are sharpened differently than straight blades. Flat sharpening stones must not be used on them. You’ll need a specially-made, cone-shaped taper sharpener to get serrations. These often come with diamond layers, and they’re specifically designed to get inside each serration. I got mine at a Sears store a few years back. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM240913677P

They are made in different sizes.
