NEXT BEST: Bubba 110V Electric Fillet Knife
A new edition to the electric knife market by a known blade maker. Bubba’s Electric Fillet Knife boasts one of the fastest motors and sharpest blades. It’s quiet and powerful. Our only complaint is the grip is a bit large in your hands in comparison to the American Angler. Bubba also makes a Cordless Knife for when a plug is not available.
