I use the Work Sharp on my blades. Easy to use and put a razor sharp edge on your knives.

Over this past summer fishing down on the Red River I was forced to use a fillet knife and I became pretty fast at it. I had a nice MUSTAD 9" fillet knife I started with but it wasnt stiff enought so I ended buying a KVD set from walmart; which is made by mustad as well but have a stiffer blade, and a cheap sharpener and it has worked great for me ever since. I do love the American Angler electric knifes tho. I think that you get a nicer cut using a sharp fillet knife instead of an electric knife. But to each is his own and everyone will have there own 2cents to put in.

A 5/32nd chain saw file will sharpen electric knife blades in just a few minutes.

About 8 passes on each notch of each single blade with the flat side of the blade face down and it will be good as new!

Where can you get a 5/32 chain saw file? Home Depot/Lowes?
