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 to put in. http://www.mustad.no/productcatalog/na/product.php?id=2864

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? , Calvin

Salsa get a Work-Sharp knife & tool sharpener after you get them sharp you just have to touch them up when your done you can have a razor edge in 2 minutes or less I carry 4 or 5 fillet knifes around at the same time....that helps a lot in casae I dull one or two I use a 10inch old timer fillet knife....easy to sharpen and holds an edge I will say that any decent fillet knife that is SHARPENED properly will do the trick Sam! Tell us how to sharpen them...you will save me about $200/year
If it ain't broke don't fix it...but go ahead and work on it anyway.....
