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.
OK was that you next to me cleaning fish at ICM? If so I was the blade slinger with the rainbow runner. If no one was to the right of me I could carry on like a slicing macine. Those were ordinary knives that I sharpen myself on paper wheels.
Wasnt me B4B, we were at Crystal Beach doing our butchering!!! Were you serious about the rainbow runner? I had never even heard of them and then we catch 3!!!!!! How do they taste????????
I like the black & decker and GE elect. knives sold in the house ware department at wal-mart or somewhere like that. I have two of them and they hold up better than any others I've owned. They'll get a little hot on a bunch of redfish, but that's any knife.
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.
