[cool][#0000ff]Hey, O4T, I'm glad you approve of the pics. That knife is an AMERICAN ANGLER...not American Eagle. I got both my first one (in the pics) and the yet unopened second one at WallyWorld, but down in Arizona. Not sure if they carry them in Utah.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]They also have them listed both in Cabelas and BassProShops. Cabelas is currently showing them as sold out. Here is the info from BPS.[/#0000ff]

This is the perfect knife for both fresh- and saltwater anglers. It's the first electric knife series ever to fill all the needs for filleting fish. With a cooler operating, faster cutting blade, and less fatiguing comfort grip-filleting has never been easier. 8" blade reduces friction for better control and precision. $29.99 110 volt. $39.99 cordless.

[#0000ff]Not sure if they have them at Sportsmans. If they don't, I am sure that whatever they carry will work better than a dull "whatever-you're-using-now" knife.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]over the years I have used several different types of electric knives. I went through several of the "Mister Twister" electrics. They also cost about $25 (even in the olden days) but they did not last more than about a year. Of course, I used them on some pretty big fish, but I have also worked over some biggies with the American Angler...including catfish up to 30 pounds.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You can also borrow the household electric knife, that you got for a wedding present but have never used except to mangle a turkey once. Most of them will work.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have also tried the 12 volt models, that you hook to your car with a lighter plug in. The ones I have used just did not seem to have the power.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Some of the newer cordless rechargeable models are great for quick jobs in the field. Modern batteries and technology combine to provide knives that have plenty of power and hold a charge for about 30 minutes worth of steady slicing. If you can't finish a batch of fish in that time, you either kept too many or you need to work on your filleting skills.[/#0000ff]
