iv been using a Mister Twister electric knife for 3 years and like them ok but should the blades dull only after about 80 fish? i do cut through the rib bones and understand that takes away from the life of the sharpness but would think they should last longer than that. having to buy new blades 4 times a year is not good. and i do cut on a good plastic cutter board. is this normal or do i have the wrong brand of knife ? thanks

Never liked the Mister Twister. Ive been using the Black & Decker from Walmart for 3 years. Same blades and ive cleaned hundreds of fish with it. 12 bucks. If i do switch I'll get the American Angler, the orange and black one.

Haag, I usually just sharpen my blades every so often, until the serration wears out then go get another pair of blades...not sure how many fish I have cleaned with the current blades, but it is a bunch more than the 4 fishing trips you are talking about. They are easy to sharpen on those small motorized belt sanders you can buy for that purpose...

You can also sharpen them with a 5/32nds chain saw file.

Doesn't take long & they will be sharp as when they were new.

X2 on sharpening, nuthn wrong with mister twister, they last forever

I have a piranha electric filet knife by mister twister. It has never performed half as well as my $13 black and decker electric knife from Wal-mart. This is the perfect post to offer it free to anyone who wants it. Local pick up in Leander. I don't want to ship it and I would feel bad selling it because it has no power in my opinion.

Mister twister has plastic gears unlike the brass ones in the American angler. I got my American Anglers back when academy sold em cheap and they're still going but if they weren't I would get the black and decker at Walmart before the mister twister. It's lucky to make it through 1000 fish before its toast.

I agree with with $12 regular electric knives in the kitchen wares area of Walmart. I have been using them for years. i did buy and try a Rapala electric knife a few years ago, what a waste. Was so hard to use, barely slice thru a crappie had to put as much pressure as if I was just using a filet knife. I think I threw it out. Don't know anything about Mr. Twister, but I would think blades should stay sharp longer than that.

American anglers used to be good back in old man days not sure now.

Get an 8" shark blade for whatever knife you use.

2X on the American Angler. I use the salt water blades and they sharp and seem to last a long time.

Yes! American Angler fillet knife all the way. I have used everything else and they all feel underpowered to me.

American Angler Pro with the Salt Water Blades!!

I also have two of these and love them:

You can get them on Amazon too.

10-4 on the Piranha! I have a new one hanging over my cleaning table at home. Would like to give to the Mister Twister rep some time. I was never able to clean a fish with it. Absolutely not enough power. I keep 2 or 3 Black and Deckers. Always a new one in the truck in the box just in case.

My blades are worn out on my Mr Twister Piranha. First time the knife outlasted the blades.
