I loved my American Angler for years and still do but I have the cordless Bubba now and it's been phenomenal.

Thank you boys very much for all your responses. I have a couple of buddies that have the Bubba and they really like it also. But they are pricey! Of course everything is nowadays. I went to Wallyworld and was going to buy the American Angler, suggested by some of you boys, but they didnt have one. I went online and checked on some top rated fillet knives and the Bubba was highly rated. So was the Rapala R12 Heavy Duty lithium. The top rated one, for what it is worth, was the Kastking Lithium-ion Speed Demon Pro. 95 dollars. I ended up ordering it. I also ordered a Tower Top 2/10/25 battery charger. 90 dollars. It was highly rated. Once again i sincerely appreciate your input. 

ps Happy Birthday Champ!!

It's hard for some folks to admit that they dislike something that they paid too much for.   

The Bubba batteries are great, I can clean 3 messes of fish on a single charge....no need for the extra battery.   But that POS is slow, and the gap between the blades is excessive, so it doesn't saw through rib bones very efficiently.  

Ok for Crappie I suppose.....but what knife isn't?   🙄 I can clean a mess of crappie with a butter knife.

My bubba blade was a lot cheaper being the corded version. Everytime I clean fish I'm next to a plug so I didn't feel the need for the battery one. I also got a bad taste in my mouth after having the Rapala battery knife back before lithium's were a thing. That old battery Rapala I had couldn't cut butter
