What electric Fillet Knife to buy
« on: Jan 10, 2012, 07:44 AM »
OK After hacking a perch to death I am done with my cheap fillet knife (non-electric)

I want an electric one...I mostly go after pan fish but occasionally I get into the eyes and a pike or two

let the debate rage!

I have an American Angler knife and a Rapala, the steel on the Rapala holds its edge better for me !

I have an American angler. This is the second one because the first wore the gears out of it from all the fish I cleaned.  ;) ;)  I have a Rapala also but I dont like it because it seems to not have enough speed in the blades for the way i clean fish.  It may be just me but that is my opinion

I have an American Angler. Only complaint about it is sometimes the one blade pops out when going through a larger bone. Nice thing about the American Angler is there are a lot of different blades available and you can use blades marketed under different brand names also.

I'd like to know if a corded electric fileting knife is better than a battery one? Also, what kind of battery do they use and how long does a charge last?

corded is the only way to go in my opinion, unlimited run time, more power etc.

They make 110volt (with a cord), 12volt (connects to a 12volt battery or power supply) or cordless with an onboard battery. I have the 110volt version and I extended the cord. If you fillet fish only on a boat you would probably want the 12volt version to hook up to the boat battery.
