Given how few fish one can keep these days I don't really see the need for the electric. My sharpe blade can last for as many fish as our group is allowed to keep.

Default electric knife

Got one for sale. Only used it a couple times. Handle is too big for my hands, but they seem to work great. Pm me if your interested in buying one.

i also have the corded berkley electric knife and love it. the only issue i have is after a prolonged use the blades get dull and i thought about sharpening it but not sure how since its a serrated blade. bought some replacement blades not cheap, so i also bought an electric knife sharpener that supposedly can sharpen serrated blades too. haven't tried it yet afraid of making it worst. i normally use a sharpening stone for all my blades but never done serrated blades before.

I'm on my second Rapala cordless. I find the batteries are good for at least a dozen northerns, but these days I don't care to do more than 6 fish a day, unless I'm helping others. I have 3 different length blades. I just slab my fish at the lake, then take out bones at home. I got mine after having watched my buddy zip through fish like no tomorrow. When we fish state side, most of the guys are using the green/yellow corded knives, and I mean most of the guys. Where we clean fish they have quite a few plugins overhead. What I find amazing is how fine you can cut, you can almost take the scales off and leave the skin behind. I also use mine for carving the turkey. I don't care to be without one again.
