Title: Old Timer Lithium Ion fillet knife
Post by: natahka72 on Jul 20, 2021, 04:36 PM

Has anyone bought or used this fillet knife? It is new this year so it is hard to find reviews or YouTube videos about it. Seems like a decent price, but is it a good price for the wrong reason?

The Rapala comes with two blades and two batteries, but I'm not sure I would need that anyways.

I have no experience with the old timer but I would stay far away from Rapalas. I have cooked more than one. Can't clean more than about 15 gills before they are burning your hand.

Nice, looking forward to a review. I spent a lot for the rapala and love it, but interested in seeing how this works.

Does anyone know the weight of this knife. I have used a couple in the past but after 15 minutes or so I have a hard time with their weight with carpal tunnel. I do like the design.

The old blue and yellow American angler that they used to sell at walmart for 20 bucks was the best. I had one for about 8 years and my buddy had one for close to 10 years. Plenty of power and didn't get crazy hot. Only American anglers I see now are over $70

I received the Old Timer electric knife on time last Friday and put it on the recommended charge for 31/2 hours. Like most everywhere else it has been really hot here and I haven't been fishing yet so still no report on the functionality of the knife. Stay tuned.
