Can I see pic.'s of your??? I want 1.. After reading the article..I was wondering the same thing.. He must have used a lathe to fashion the sawed off Dexter blade so the saws all would accept it and lock in place.. $175 for a saws-all and the knife blade is a little steep in my humble opinion...He's probably making double what it cost him to have them made..If he can sell a few more power to him. I can buy a whole lot of knifes for $175...

I've always believed that I could fillet reds and trout with a very sharp fillet knife faster and get a better fillet by doing it with a simple very sharp fillet knife.

I've seen lots of knifes and electric knifes.. NEVER the Saws all..

The one handed sawsall hasn't been around but for 2 years. It's a fairly new tool that's now made by rigid, Milwaukee and a few other bands. The tool costs $80 at Home Depot and the blade is $25 bucks. If you make it at home you have to cut the plastic handle off, then grind out the tang to fit the saw. Then there is shipping. So all in all, $175 for it to show up at your front door is not that bad. Making it yourself you save $75 assuming you don't jack up the first blade. It's really not a big deal I made some blades my self, using cut off blades on my grinder. But not everyone has that skill.

I'm sure it may have been tried out before this article was posted, but I had never seen it before now. Feel free to ignore this post if you have already seen it posted. If you have not seen it before, hope you find it to be just an interesting article like I did.

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting such a controversial subject, no we can't ignore the post that's ludicrous. :spineyes:

Its a small rigid sawzall shaped like an electric filet knife. Cosy 79.00 ay home depot. The blade can be any blade you want. But a std. mister twister blade can be used. A grinder and a sharp drill bit will allow you shape it to match a sawzall blade. Use the sawzall blade as a pattern. Or any serrated dexter blade. Just knock the handle off. Iy really does a great job on big boned fish. Cant stop it!

Bet a bubba blade will work really good too, someone make me one I will pay $100

has anyone used it on Reef Fish such as red/mangrove snapper or trigger fish? i feel like it would work and save a bunch of time on those mangrove hauls

You would ban a grandmother?!! Jk - I'm enjoying the comments and interesting ideas some people are posting. The negative ones just slide off of me. I've always hunted and fished and raising 3 sons I've always been amazed at the variety of things they can come up with to put a different spin on a mundane task. Just don't take it so seriously! It's just a tool for cleaning. Not like it's a presidential election. Oops - did I just start another controversial thread?! :*****:

It works great on red and mangrove snapper. It really is unstoppable. Just use caution on working close to your hands.

May have to try it out...Go out with 6 guys and catch/shoot 60 groves makes for a long couple hours of cleaning lol but the fish tacos be worth it

The first time I saw it used was in grand isle. Charter boat was loaded with mangroves. He ran thru em like trout. That's what sold me. That was five yrs ago.

please tell me this is something new?..dude I been cleaning my fish this way with a 20 dollar cutting knife for yrs....lol....maybe I missed the point but on the video, he isn't doing anything that many anglers already do with cheap equipment...jus saying.....I even hold the tip with my finger and run the blade lol....
