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.

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.
