Recently, the Consumer Product Safety Commission of the United States（CPSC issued a notice stating that,Scott Fetzer Consumer Brands (SFCB) has announced a recall of electric fish knives under the American Angler brand, citing the risk of tearing.
It is understood that this type of fish knife is thin and flexible, and there are currently two types on the market, one is a traditional fish knife, and the other is an electric one. The fish knives recalled this time belong to the latter.
Electric fish knives can help complete most of the cleaning tasks for fish. Their design is similar to an electric reciprocating saw, with two thin blades installed side by side on the handle. When starting, one blade is pushed forward while the other blade is pulled back.
This helps the knife cut through the skin and flesh of the fish without exerting too much pressure on the blade, allowing the user to easily maintain control of the knife throughout the entire cleaning process. If people are planning to clean up a large amount of fish, this is a good choice.
