Anyone know the best electric filet knife on the market????? Ours seem to overheat very quickly and the blades keep popping out. I know the "ol fashion" manual knife is good but it sure is tiresome after fishing all day. Also, anyone ever eat a rainbow runner? Book says they are excellent tablefare, never caught em before and never ate one.

Rainbows, are a good light meat fish kinda like amberjack. Did you catch them deep? I posted our trip with picture on the blue water board. I use to use an electric until I learned how to sharpen knives with paper wheels a ruge. They are actually sharper than a razor and saw a guy filet his skin trying to shave the hair off his arm. It takes about 5 min to touch them up after a trip.

I have a baldor and a delta grinder 3500 rpm, with paper wheels, one has 2500 grit carbon that I glue on the outer edge, the others are just plain compressed paper about 1" thick. I run the blades over them with caution not to over heat and change the temper and pollish the edge. Like the barber with a strop, but faster. These edges hold better and dont roll. If you ever been to gun shows and Bass Pro it's like that.
