Thanks, Dutch,

I'll check my new ones again. My old Rapala(maybe 7-8 year old ) would work with others, but the 4 I bought late last year had moved the locking notch about 1/4" further from the hilt so that my Mako, Hooker and Turner blades, etc. would not latch in.. I have maybe 30-40 pairs of blades that I have picked up for different reasons and nothing but the Rapala would work in my new ones.

I simply may not have any Mister Twisters in the mix. I'll check tonight. Thanks for the info.

RAPALA non Electric flexible and solid LOVE this Knife i think it 8 inches long

For those of you who have several pair of dull electric knife blades. Try this!!!
Smith's 10 second Jiffy Sharpener. I know your not supposed to be able to sharpen a serrated blade, but it works. For $7.99 give it a try.

I just went to cabela's and picked up the knife I ordered a couple of weeks ago. It is the Ginsu that they had on sale from 60.00 to 29.00. I don't know if it is any good, we shall see. It came with 2 sets of blades and has the ability to use both 110 and 12 volt. I had a cheaper one for like 10 years so I figured I try this one. I have been using the manual knife and I sure can butcher the fish, not in a good way. If anyone has used this one let me know what I got myself into.

Mac,
Yes, that is what they are called and they work great!
I got 4 a while back that were on sale for 3 bucks a piece!

I have a Mister Twister that works good for me

I like Rapala. I tried Mister Twister and AA and I did not like them. The Rapala was a nice fit to my hand and the blade bends nicely and contours to the shape of the fish. They run about $50 though.

I have several older Rapala traditional fixed blade fillet knives that served me very well when I fished Saltwater almost exclusively but then discovered Dexter-Russell and switched to them a long time ago for that environment.

BPS stopped carrying Dexter this year and Academy carries a new version ( soft grey handle) I have never seen before. I have always used the white handled (food service) ones that I saw the deck hands using on the charter boats. They have one for every need and their sharpening tool is the best I have ever seen. They are just very hard to find retail.

i picked up a white handled dexter from academy last year near Port Aransas.. best fillet knife I have ever owned! i have never liked fixed blade knives, and always preferred the electric ones.. I prefer my dexter now! its awesome! make sure you get a good sharpener for it and keep it razor sharp!

DEXTER
I wonder if that's where they got the name for the TV Show?
Good show but a little too much for some.

I use the Buck Silver Creek 223. Love it.

My dad has had an american angler since I was a kid must say thats the best i have used

Been running A Mister Twister ( the low-cost green and yellow one) for years, and it has never let me down. My experience is that blades ( how sharp they are) are the limiting factor, not the power of the motor.
