The Story Behind the Blade

Capt. Paul Bates runs an offshore charter service based out of Kemah, Texas. The Filletzall® fish blade idea came to him after working a long day on the water, then coming back to the chore of cleaning all his clients fish. He was exhausted from the hot day, and cleaning each fish by hand took a lot of added energy.

In attempt to make this process easier, Capt. Bates took his Dexter-Russell® fillet knife, removed the blade from the sheath, and grinded the handle-end of the blade down and drilled a hole to fasten it in place to his electronic reciprocating saw, termed "Sawzall" by Milwaukee Electronic Tools. 

His idea worked. The electronic fillet knife blade he was using combined with the reciprocating saw's heavy duty gears made for one unstoppable combination in cleaning fish. 

How Does It Compare to Typical Electronic Fillet Knives?

  • Filletzall® Electronic Fillet Blades are significantly stronger and more heavy duty than most electronic fillet knives. 
  • Reciprocating saws have heavier duty gears compared to typical electronic fillet knives and are more readily available.
  • More cost-effective for people who already own reciprocating saws or are on the market for a reciprocating saw.
