[#0000FF]Those are the main players in the industry. At one time you could walk into any tackle outlet, Walmart, Kmart, etc. and have your pic of electrics...and at reasonable prices. Much harder these days. And anglers are often limited in choice to the only one brand carried by any individual outlet.
About 3 or 4 years ago I ordered a special heavy duty electric fillet knife from KNIFE DEPOT...an online purveyor. Paid a good buck for it but it did not even fire up the first time I tried it. Got a refund and spent some time talking with a guy in customer service. He advised that a lot of the motors are now coming from China and formerly good quality electrics are now not so good. I just checked their website and found that they are not even selling ANY electrics any more.
I have demoed my American Angler knives to quite a few BFTers. Most will agree that they are capable of turning out a good batch of fillets in short order. That is unless there happens to be a loose nut on the handle.
