I'm looking for a commerical grade fillet knife. I'm not so much worried about the price because I look at it as the knife will pay for itself with the amout of fillets I catch. This is what I got, I have a number of hoop nets and catch plenty catfish and the knives I bought in the past don't hold up. I tried the original mister twister and that lasted me about a year and I burnt up the motor in it, so then I got the salt water mister twister and that one is going on about a year and a half and the motor on it is starting to go out. I look at the rapala ones but I'm nervous about getting one cause it looks like the replacement blades are hard to find for it. If I have to I will just buy a mister twister every year or so but I was looking for a knife to last me about 3-5 years. I'm cleaning about 500 to 800 fish a year so I would really like to find a decent knife. Thanks.

Get a bubba blade. The electric knifes don't hold up

maybe you could find something pneumatic? thatd prob be your best bet for lasting a good while

I use Dexter Russell filet knives. Good whetstone and steel to keep em sharp. Got my knifes from Memphis Net and Twine. I buy a dozen of each blade lengths. I also use a DR butcher knife too.

X2 on the dexter knives. I have a couple i keep in my boats for bait etc.

I just use the wood handle rapala filet knife. Cleaned many a fish with em.

I've never seen a fish house use electric knives. They may, I just haven't seen it.

A sharp knife will make much cleaner cuts than an electric, and just as fast.

I was looking for something electric cause I can't see myself skinning 50-100 fish.

I'd rather filet knife over electric any day. I can't fuk wit electric ones tears the fish up that I'm cleanin

i bought a 7'" dexter.... love it

Dexters the real deal.

This Dexter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NG ... il_1p_0_ti

Or get you a Sawzall and a meat blade That's what the hog butcher uses...

Go to bed bath and beyond if you want a better electric. Dexter if you want a regular knife. I only use my electrics to clean trout. For those who say electrics fuck the fish up, you are doing it wrong. I also never buy new blades for my electrics I just buy whole new knife kits. The reason all y'all's are burning up is because y'all are on an off the button like a dickhead. I tape my buttons down

Dexter Russell and a good Case or Forschner sharpening steel and you should be good to go. If you maintain the knives with a steel and don't abuse them, they will never break down, wear out, or get so dull you can't use them.

If u getting that long out of electric, u are doing good, I get 2 weeks to 1 month out of Hamilton beach, I find those are the best for the money.

Hamilton beach is the best electric knife get em from target

I use Hamilton beach but I go to bed bath and beyond to get them

I know a couple dudes that rigged up the small rigid reciprocating saw to cut big redfish with, takes some getting used to. I'm get me one of those soon.

The scalloped blade dexter is a bad mofo! Just need to figure out how to sharpen it?

Round file

Literally takes 2 minutes. I would rather sharpen a knife rather than a chainsaw blade.

Check the prices through Memphis Net and Twine. I buy a lot of knives and their prices are really good. If you ever try using a Dexter Russel butcher knife for filleting catfish you might never come back.

All I usse is dexters. 9" fleet for trout and spot skinned fish. A 14" serrated for reds tuna AJ's and tougher skinned fish.
