That's a $10 blade on a $70 Sawzall I could modify the blade in 15 minutes and he's selling it for $175. You can also just use a regular 12" 18 TPI blade to clean fish too. This isn't new, people have been using them for at least 20 years.

Not sure where you are finding the Dexter Blades he is using for $10 but please share.
He took the initiative to fit blade, put togather the package and market it, $175 sounds like a fair price to me. I checked on getting one and may end up getting one.
They are great for guides or someone who cleans a lot of redfish or sheepshead. What worries me is for weekend fisherman they might be dangerous one slip and lose a finger or a hand. Also think you lose a lot of meat that is not lost using a old fashion hand knife.

I have one and it's amazing for sheeps and reds. Took me about 6 fish to get use to it but now I'm good to go. After a night of Bowfishing or rod n reel day trip 6-8 limits of reds and 30-40 sheeps it will cut down your cleaning time. These blades are not 10 for sure. If you get them for 10.00 please share.

More durable than a Dexter Blade and $9.06 a piece and if you feel the need to cut a 2x4 while you fileting a fish you can, this guy didn't reinvent the wheel, he took a blade and retrofitted it to fit on a hand held sawzall. People have been doing this for years.

I didn't see where anyone said he reinvented the wheel, and with 9 guides on street of the canal none of us heard of it. Must be only in your area. But glad to know now and someone is letting people know.

Guess Mr. Messenger looks at youtube, This was posted 3 years ago... Nice invention!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1pjfNQDucQ

I use a regular fixed blade on redfish, its faster and more efficent. If the technic is correct, you don't have to waste your money on electric knives for Reds and Sheepshead.

He never said he invented it! He did fit a 9" Dexter Blade to it though one of the best fillet blades out their.

Don't understand why you guys would have problem with it and I have no horse in this race do not know him, do not own one. He is trying to make a few dollars for his trouble. I do not see what the issue with that. Unless its just yall did not think of it.

Check out the link above, Uses the Dexter Knife as well.

Like I said, I don't use electric knives for anything other than trout. Fixed blade does a great job and saves meat as well. I was just pointing out that the Exact Same item is shown on youtube years before this article

Question: when using reciprocating saw on deer or fish, how do you keep the receiver (where blade connects to tool) clear of debris (guts and sht)?

I didn't mean to upset anyone by posting this article. I just thought it was interesting and figured someone else might also find it interesting. 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.

Those big lake folks are just butt hurt because they get tired seeing the Dularge and Dulac boys post pictures of limits and happy customers.

All I was saying about the artical is these guides on east side of state are now all acting like they invented something new that has never been seen before .

If I was a betting man I would put money that someone 1st saw it down here on big lake .. As we have been using them for years


And side note : I don't use mind very often unless I get into some big reds because these things can cut your fingers or hand quick... Lots of power behind them

I'll put it this way. When the Krewe of Hercules Started their Rodeo 20 years ago, they were using Sawzalls to clean fish for the Sunday Fish Fry.

Use my Husqavauna 460 with a 24" bar for fish from bass size up to bull reds. Use my Husqavauna 350 with 18" bar for sacs and blue gills.

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..
