Has anyone used a Rapala Lithium-Ion Cordless Filet Knife? They are on sale for $49.99 at Academy. Are they any good?

heres the deal with virtually all electric fillet knives sold in the US.
They are all made in china, and all pretty much the same, as far as durabilty, ergonomics, safety, ect. What the problem is is that the blades are trash, and the sharpness of the blades is very inconsistant. You may buy an electric knife that comes with a very sharp set of blades, and it will work great. If the knife comes with a so/ so set of blades the knife will work so/so. The duller the blades the harder the knife has to work.
You can go buy a new set of replacement blades and they may be duller than the blades you are replacing. If the blades are sharp and even and work the way they are supposed to, the knife doesnt have to work hard.
If someone made a high quality set of blades that stayed sharp for a long time and fit the more common name brand electric knives, they would get rich. The problem is the blades , not the electric motor units.

Bought one... not too impressed... Might work on crappie, but not so good on hybrids...
If you have electricity available a 15.00 dollar electric will work better..
Just my .02$....

I've got one I use sometimes. They work good on crappie, and decent on whites and cats. Not so good on cleaning hybrid. Two batteries, when fully charged, will easily clean a limit of crappie or sandies. It will clean two limits but it just takes a little longer as the batteries start to wear. They have their time and place but are not a complete substitute for a plug in knife.

Thanks for the input. Looks like I may be getting one for Christmas. I have a private lake I can fish and there is no power there. I like to clean them at the lake as we sometimes go to the company park for a fish fry and taking a generator is a pain. Thanks again.
