I have used the rapala 120/12v with descent results for about 6 years. I have discovered that it has much more power when connected directly to 12v battery than when using the 120 adapter. I used this knife to clean hundreds if not >1000 white bass and many hundred crappie since I purchased the knife. The blades were becoming very dull so I purchased the mister twister piranha about a year or so ago. It has noticeably more power and the blades seem to be better suited for fish cleaning. I have cleaned several slot reds, a couple hundred whiting and about 90 1-2lb croakers last week. It zips right through the ribs (croaker and whiting) and easily separates the fish flesh from the skin. Would highly recommend the mister twister piranha with the only reservation being the very short cord with limited flexibility. I highly suggest plugging any electrical device into a GFCI receptacle when using in wet locations (cleaning fish) to reduce risk of severe electrical shock.

Where are the 110/120 outlets located in relation to the fish cleaning stations at the pier? Will the short cord reach?

JJFISH. Danny pointed out to me that the serrated knives are only scalloped on one side and don't cut as well for left handed people. They're made more for right handed people. Never realized that, but then again I'm right handed! Maybe like left vs right handed scissors?
Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
