[#0000FF]I fell for the hype on the Bubba Blade too. I bought one and tried it on several species. Haven't found any species for which the BB works better than my American Angler electrics...120V and 12 volt.
I was disappointed in the "factory edge". According to the commercials the knives are super sharp right out of the box. Maybe by their standards...not mine. I have worked in commercial fishing and on party boats. I keep my knives SHARP. I had to work on the BB for over an hour to get an edge I was semi happy with. Even then it did not outperform my electrics. And forget it when it came to filleting catfish. The BB took a lot of work to hack through the rib bones of even cookie cutter sized cats...whereas my electrics just slide right through.
Knives are always a very subjective matter...like lures, rods, reels, lines, etc. If you find something you like and it works well for you...then that is the right model for you. Doesn't matter what others think about it.
