I'm just wondering how long the blades will stay sharp.
I have finally broken down and ordered the electric Rapala knife. It was a hard decision to make but after being a diehard pursist when it comes to fileting fish and spending almost an hour and a half evertyime to filet 25 some bluegills by hand I have finally decided to try the electric deal as hard as it was to do. It's on the way. I still refuse to use tip-ups but that's a whole nother story. BTW if you see me ever using tipups please kill me. I still will not use an electic knife to filet my walleyes but for a mess of gills or perch it just takes too long by hand for me anymore. 2 hours is too long to spend cleaning 30 panfish after being out on the ice for a while.
I love my electric knife...I usually get about 2 years out of a Black and Decker...I would not suggest a cordless electric fillet knife, the ones that I have used are quite a bit heavier than the corded models and cause nasty hand fatigue and even hand cramps if you are cleaning enough fish.
