Bubba filet knife

[sprewett]

I am in the market for a new filet knife and was curious if Bubba knives are worth it?

I own a few Bubba blades and am pleased with the quality.

Warren Glover makes excellent knives. Know him as a personal friend and fellow knifemaker - You can't go wrong with a "Bubba" knife in any style he makes. Yes, he is Bubba.

I have a lithium electric bubba. Love it. I had an issue with the first one, it wouldn’t shut off unless you removed the battery. I’ve had the knife for about 2 years. Emailed bubba, the asked for a few pics of it and sent me a brand new knife. Customer service at its best on top of a quality knife

I have one, love it.

The dexter Russel knives are a great buy. Many guys in fish houses use em. Heard good things about the bubba too just love my dexters.

Thanks for the thread ! I was thinking of getting my dad one for Father’s Day

I will be getting me a Bubba blade then.
@menhadenman I have an entire kitchen set that was given to my wife and I 22 years ago when we got married. It is excellent stuff. The filet knife I have with it just doesn't seem to have enough flex like I would like.

To be clear, I'm talking about the Bubba cordless electric knife. For a manual fillet knife, I like the old classic wooden-handled Rapalas.

No kidding you think the rapala out performs the bubba? I would.oove the rapala just for price point but I don't want to short change myself.

I've never used a Bubba manual, but it can't be much better than the Rapala. I've filleted untold thousands of fish over the years with the old wooden-handled Rapalas. Get sharp easy, hold an edge well, just the right flexibility. The Rapala is also the only knife I use butchering and cutting up deer.
I love my electric Bubba for cleaning big amounts of fish. This was about 20 minutes work for me and my buddy with two Bubba electrics:

I’ve got one of the old rapalas in my truck too. Bet I picked it up in the 90s. They do pretty good too!

You’re making me want to try an electric one now @NCHillbilly

Bass pro lithium cordless has been my choice over the bubba blade solely due to price point. Cleaned many many fish and never been dissatisfied with the BP brand cordless.

Check out the Dexter Dextreme fillet knife. You won't be disappointed! It has the standard straight edge but on the other side, it has a serrated edge to cut through thick scales. We saw Viktor from Landshark Outdoors on YouTube use it and my husband bought one. It's a game changer. They're about $45
