Repair Of Rapala Electric Fillet Knife

[Minnetonka]

I have a 10 year old electric fillet knife that stopped working. I suspect that it would be a relatively easy fix but I do not have time. Does anybody out there know if someone does repair on these knives?

Unless you only filleted one or 2 fish a year. It may be time for a new one.

Made with plastic gears.... Junk. Lucky you got that many years out of it. Must only fillet a few fish per year.

Depends on the knife. I've got 10 years out of them filleting 100's of fish. I usually clean them for our group all the time. Declaring their all junk is misleading.

I've used rapala non electric and leech lake fillet knives for 30+ years... 1000s of fish... Never had one fail... If its plastic and If you have to plug it in, something IS going to fail halfway through the job...

That's not a fair comparison. He's asking about electric. Of course a fixed blade won't fail. That's like comparing a chainsaw to a bucksaw that lasted 100 years.
