I've used Rapala and american angler electric knives that are just as good as my electric outdoorsman. I have also used just a regular house electic that did the job just fine. As far as the blades i've used the pointed one's and the rounded one's and both do the rib bones just fine, i really couldn't tell that much difference. The main thing is keeping sharp blades, but they last a really long time. You will never have to skin another catfish, just run along the back bone flip and run right along the skin. Like i said before try it you won't go back.
