Dexter Russell traditional carbon steel. Will be less than $15. I recommend getting a traditional steel with it. This is a good one for sure. If your looking at electric, ive had a lot of em, but the Rapala HD is about the best I’ve found. We flllet 60,90, and 120 crappie at one time a lot of times. And this is about the only one I can do 100 with without having to get another cause the motor is hot.
A friend, the Bible and a banker will get you though about anything.

I use several depending on size and everyone needs both manual and electric. No matter what I always use a cheap throw away pair of gloves to handle the fish. Much easier.

Gloves are a big help for sure. I use to use them Walmart brand electric knives. They was $15 I think. About every 30 fish or so I would just swap out with another one. But we do 1500 plus crappie a year and they just wouldn’t hold up. The HD I have now has done over 5000 fish since I’ve had it and still going strong. Well worth the $50ish it costed. Plus blades are like $10 a set and last a while also

I have cleaned a couple hundred with one like this so far this year.....no complaints yet. Ozark Trail Electric Fillet Knife https://g.co/kgs/7HGJa4 For the money these are hard to beat. I’ve used a bunch of them. When blades get dull, just buy a new knife.

I like them all perch but particularly the wooden handle carbon steel bladed ones. Traditional series,I think,but the blade will patina much faster than my white handle stain free DR blades. I have the traditional as well and several others of Dexter Russel knives. They are great knives. I honestly never fillet fish with it tho. The few fish I clean is done with a mister twister electric which is very geo as well.

The restaurants in Orange Beach buy lots of the 142-9SC serrated knife because it saws through the big frozen chunks of "fresh fish" that was caught in some third world country or raised in a Chinese sewer system. sounds about right. we went to doc's awhile back and the fish of the day was sway. some kind of vietmanese catfish raised under a hut in a rice paddy eating gook chit and scraps
We will burn that bridge when we get there

That Mister Twister has never gave me a reason to look for another brand... They gave me a reason to look for another brand. I bought the saltwater blue and white one because they're supposed to be more of a heavy duty knife. On my 2nd mess of Stripers it gave up the ghost. It stripped out one of the plastic gears that push and pull the blades. These were not huge stripers. I don't keep them over about 10 lbs. Well, rarely anyway. The ones that killed my knife were all between 5 and 8 lbs. The cheap knife I bought from Walmart to replace it with is doing great by the way.

That Mister Twister has never gave me a reason to look for another brand... I’ve cleaned 1000s of fish with an old Mister Twister, but the one i bought a few years again was garbage. I clean a lot of redfish. For the last two years I’ve been using an electric Rapala or a Bunba Blade:

If you know how to sharpen one, the Dexter Russel or a bubba blade is good steel.
But those battery powered rapala knives are f’n handy. I always hated sharpening Rapala fillet knives. I never could get them sharp as new. Sharpening is a big reason I like the DR traditional with traditional steel. I have only used the steel for years and a few swipes brings back shaving sharp. Being very thin carbon steel they sharpen extremely easily. Personally I would rather sharpen like that often than have a harder sharpening job less often. That's why I don't go in for expensive super steel fillet knives.

Berkley--when somebody gives me some fish. I can halfway sharpen electrics with the smallest chainsaw file I can find, and then a regular sharpener for the flat side. Bought an Ozark Trail 2 years ago and the teeth were so agressive it tore through the fish instead of cutting it.
