the only good ones were made in the 60s, 70s. the old GE and yellow westinghouse, a few other made in america companies. . You can still find them, they were a common wedding gift back in the day. Check some online auctions sites. I found a new in the box, never used one for 12.00

Black & Decker at wally world for ten bucks. I get 1 to 2 summers use out of them. A thousand to fifteen hundred fish.

My American angler about 5 years old, 20 ft cord, 110 acres or 12 volt dc, only thing that would be better would be cordless.

Totally agree, so much easier and cheaper than the electric fillet knifes for a much higher price. I just buy my (or I use to) B & D electric knifes at Walmart for around $11 bucks, last me several years.

Thanks Guys , you have been most helpful ( insert sarcasm font)

there seems to be no clear cut winner , so I will pay my money and take
my chances ,

but really , thanks for the replies.

I'm tellin ya get the orange American angler !

My folks have a Regal electric knife from like 1980. Has been through literally thousands of fish and STILL works better than any knife you will find on the shelf today. Obviously you can't go buy this, but just wanted to make a point that things aren't made the same as they used to be... Most electric knives are junk, go get a cheap one at Wal-Mart and replace it after a year.

Vote for the AA knife it's the ticket

Do not under any circumstance buy Hamilton Beach, it is the worst design I have ever experienced you cannot grip it without pushing the blade eject button and your hand slips constantly, it has a hard time cutting a turkey. Go B&D, AA for sure.

the best knife I have found was a black and decker. I have burned up numerous mr twisters... target used to sell those black and decker knives.

Love my Rapala � bought it four years ago and been through at least 400 sandies and a bunch of crappie... still sharp and slippin through the fillets like butter.

I've used Mister Twister but I prefer the Salt Water one (blue and white). It seemed to have a lot more power than the green and yellow one. I have since bought a heavy duty Rapala (from Academy Sports). It has A LOT of power! A friend of mine who easily cleans over 1000 crappie a year had told me about the Rapala and he is sold on it.
