Interesting, I don't like to cut through the rib cage does an electric have the finesse to get around it?
Nope. Just saws right through whatever is in front of it.
Get a "guide" that forces you to apply the right angle to your blade and you will be an expert in no time👍👍
I like Wusthof fillet and kitchen knives myself.
Does the Rapala lithium electric fillet knife cut as fast as the Rapala corded heavy duty electric knife? Or is it more like the standard corded electric Rapala electric knife?
For panfish a USA(Schrade made) Uncle Henry has done the trick for me for many years. I am always on the lookout for a used USA(Schrade) made one.
for sure. i have one of the heavy duty rapala 110volt knives and the battery one as well. have made 2 of my friends beleivers as well in the battery operated. will never get rid of the corded heavy duty one but this cordless one is awesome and has power to spare. will make short work of a bucket of gills for sure.
on another note,i worked in food prep facilities,its important to have sani safe equipment when filleting fish.the gutz harbor very nasty bugs you want to avoid.i use a 20x30 inch sani safe fillet board white plastic and run water while filleting to slough off juices inside fishes cavity.i also scrub and disinfect baord after every use no matter how small.then dishwasher my knives, your good to go,and catch more fish not sit on the porceline throne!!!GOD BLESSmo
Still use a 4" Rapala for panfish and a 6" for larger fish. To old to change I guess.
I have an American Angler electric, and I like it a lot. It comes with a big 8" or 9" blade (I forget), but I bought the smaller blade since I'm mainly targeting panfish and that was a good decision. A lithium one would eliminate the cord, which would be nice. If I ever get another electric fillet knife, I'll likely go that route.
I bought a american angler pro (tan one). It'd motor is geared so low i can't even cut through a 17-18 inch walleye ribs with it. I thought the AA eknife was one of the best out there. i'm really NOT satisfied at all with it. As far a regular fillet knife, i use all rapala's. keep em sharp and they work well.
Thanks for all the replies and options on filet knives. I ended finding a Normark Fiskars 3D filet knife among all my ice fishing gear. My neighbor is a chef, he offered to sharpened it. All that's left now is too catch some fish!!!smitty
Isn't that something that you found that knife in your fishing gear. There are a million different ways to sharpen a knife and arguments every which way that come with it. Watch your chef neighbor sharpen the knife and you can learn to do it yourself. I don't go beserk sharpening a knife, a couple swipes on my flatstone is usually good.
That's a good video. I swipe the opposite of what this guy does only because I don't like the blade facing me coming back but it doesn't matter and it really is that easy.
