*Awesome product! Great quality feel **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s light yet extremely sturdy and well built. Will definitely recommend. Already placing a second order!*
The 9inch blade is quiet long but it's a strong and sharp knife. My husband used this fillet knife to cut up venison and it worked well!
Great video. Very informative and concise. The only suggestion I would make is to disconnect the battery when inserting or removing the blades rather than rely on the safety switch. I always unplug my corded knives because they typically do not have trigger guards.
Great suggestion!
I ordered two of these based on the reviews. czcams.com/users/postUgkxqmKabisEv81ul5v7OhvVxxOpt2CJruI- Received them on time and they look good. I really like the handle on these knives as they feel good in my hand. I'm giving them 4 stars on look and feel, but have not had the chance to put them to the test yet. I mostly fish for catfish and can hopefully try them out in the next few days. If they hold an edge throughout a limit of catfish, they'll be worth another star.Update...I used the 9" strong and the 9" fillet on a mess of catfish. I did put a sharpening on these before I started. I want a razor edge to fillet fish but they weren't quite that sharp. The people who gave these knives crappy reviews and said they were sending them back was because they weren't razor sharp. So what, do they not have a knife sharpener?? Good grief! I mean you have to sharpen any knife from time to time.I personally like them and am pleased with them. If you're too lazy to sharpen a knife then hire someone to clean your fish lol.I've never bought a knife in my life that would shave hair right out of the box. Don't be afraid to purchase the knives. They're pretty nice in my opinion.
Nice! Just bought the same thing tonight!!!
Thanks for checking out the video! Hopefully you get to put the knife to work soon!
Great vid man, appreciate it
Thanks for watching!
I work for American outdoors in Colombia mo and pick these all day plus all other kinds of products
Nice review video. Music was a good touch too
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Great advice, nice video, thank you ❤️
nice review!
Nice video, thanks. Just remember you don't have to move a electric back and forth just apply pressure.
Thanks for watching! We have found that moving the knife helps limit the amount of pressure needed. This is important when first learning a knife as it prevents accidentally cutting through the backbone.
Moving the knife back and fourth will actually cause you to fight against yourself you never do this with an electric knife
Thanks for the information. We will keep this in mind as we use the knife more in the future!
Let that knife do the work bub
Thanks for the advice! We are getting used to the electric knife world and old habits die hard😉
Good job! I just bought one and like it so far! I had bought a Rapala and returned it. The model I bought has terrible ergonomics and the blade release was right where you would want to put your thumb while filleting. Also, the trigger set up was awful.
Thanks for watching! We were curious about the Rapala version. Thanks for sharing your insight.
dang stein hitting the big leagues you finally gonna ditch these kids?
Now I know who is going to clean fish next time your up north!!!
brad davenport you send the invite, we will bring the knife!
I can appreciate the acknowledgment of preferring to use a manual knife. The sawing action of ANY blade bruises and tears small bits of the flesh which gives less yield, and actually changes the way the fish tastes. (Hence why sushi masters use a Deba and Yanagiba style knives so that can make nice linear single cuts instead of using a sawing motion). I find it interesting that Americans look at 'speed' as the main defining characteristic of filleting whereas island cultures that live on fish, and have been processing fish for centuries look to the quality of the filet. One approach is geared to the individual filleter, the other is a focus on providing quality for others.
Thanks for the great info!
Ever looked at the quality of fillet between a slow and fast knife?? Try pulling a chainsaw across a piece of wood without having it running.. Speed matters
Thank you awesome video

Hmm ive never tried leaving the skin on one side unless it was a mistake! Seems to get alot more meat out of it!
Does Bubba make blades for left handed people?
Is this knife powerful enough to cut through beef and pork bone?
We haven’t tried that yet, but would be surprised if it could. We will give it a shot in the near future and let you know.
Does the charger have a shut-off when fully charged or do you have to constantly monitor it so it does not overheat?
Per the manual, It does shut-off once fully charged. That is a great question given Lithium batteries can be finicky with charging.
Thank you, I did track down the manual.
Sounds good. Thanks for watching!
Ive charged my rapala once in 2 yrs. Used 6 or 7 times.
That is impressive! They must have some quality batteries with that knife!
@@YouBetchaOutdoors1 i like thin blades on bubba. Wondering if they'd fit in the rapala... Good video👍
Thanks for watching! That’s a good question. I imagine it wouldn’t be an exact fit. However, I would like to think we will see more advancement in blade design from all companies.
How did it work on walleye and Jack fish
For walleye and pike, the slower blade speed is noticeable. It still cuts, but we would recommend a corded knife for larger fish.
What Size of blades would you recommend for burbot or lake trout?
I would say the 9” would be best for those species. It would come to personal preference as far as choosing the flex or stiff option. Thanks for watching!
You loose a ton of meat due to the fact the blade is so thick. Makes lots of fish paste even with a quick one motion filet. Doesn’t filet as well as a sharp fixed blade.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙋♂️🙋♂️
My old school mister twister knife 110AC looks to have twice the power....I was hoping this would finally be the magic knife I was hoping for but I don't see it. Thanks for the video.
That mister twister knife really is an industry standard. Tough to compete with things that just plain work! Thanks for watching!
Well it is a corded knife so it's going to have much more power naturally.
How do I get one
They are available online and in-store from most major retailers.
Good video but no way pay that much money when you can do the same thing with a 10.00 electric from wallmart.
Thanks for watching! Had to google Walmart electric fillet knives... they do have one for $14... a comparison video might be necessary!
Great review sir!
Thanks for watching!
If you have to “saw” with an electric knife it’s junk. And I’ve never seen anyone leave the skin on a filet to make removing the ribs “easier”, lol. Maybe you’re just used to a straight up knife?
You are correct. The transfer from a traditional knife to an electric has been tricky. Keeping the skin on seems to hold the meat together better when trying to keep the belly meat while removing ribs. Totally agree that it is not easier for removing the skin.
I came to say the same thing. You don’t need to saw with an electric knife
Why do you cut the fillet all the way off 😂🤦🏻♂️
This is the method we have gotten comfortable with. We are always open to new suggestions. How do you do it?
Leave everything hooked at the tail once it’s filed down and flipped out then just buzz meat off leave skin hooked to rest of the fish
Thanks for the tip!
No right or wrong I don't guess. My 2 copper pcs agree to leave the fillet attached, for added DeSkinning support. Then I'd like to add the PUSH down Angle Up, instead of pull up, or simply Waste-Cut it off of the rib /bellie meat. Only other thing I see to be inefficient, would be the initial cut behind the gills. I don't like the straight cut. Round it back to you and get that thicker portion. I like longer, flexible blades. However, looking for an excuse to buy a new fillet knife. I typically stay away from cordless anything, but trying to make the stride. A good power inverter and a few extension cords takes juice out of the equation altogether. But, this Bubba product looks like its worth trying.
Thanks for the tip about the initial cut. That makes sense!
This knife struggles with big fish.
Sincerely please club the fish dead first and then demonstrate. It would be real cruel to put the fish in pain.
