Anglers who want the best-rated knife in this comparison, a 4.8 star average across 2,000 reviews, without paying the full $144.94 of the electric BUBBA 1095705, and who still want strong 300+ monthly demand behind it.
Skip if
Skip it if you specifically want the motorized electric blade of the BUBBA 1095705, since the 1991724 is a lighter 3.2 pound knife built around a titanium and stainless steel blade rather than a motor.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
Getting a knife that holds its edge fillet after fillet without constant resharpening matters most on a heavy fishing week, and the BUBBA 1991724 leans into that with a stainless steel and titanium blade priced at $72.99.
At 3.2 pounds it is lighter than the 4.2 to 4.3 pound electric-style BUBBA models but still heavier than any manual knife from Rapala or Kershaw in this comparison. It measures 9 inches in both the listed length and size fields, comes in red, and ships with a storage case included as a listed feature, keeping the blade protected between trips.
What sets the 1991724 apart is its rating: 4.8 stars across 2,000 reviews is the highest combination of score and volume of any fillet knife covered here, edging out the 1095705's 4.7 stars across 6,300 reviews and well ahead of the sub-4.6 star scores on the Rapala and unbranded knives. Amazon also lists 300+ bought in the last month, tying it with the 1095705 for the strongest recent demand signal in the lineup. At $72.99, roughly half the price of the electric 1095705, the 1991724 pairs the top rating in this comparison with strong ongoing sales, making it the standout value in the BUBBA family.

Performance notes
Titanium blended with stainless steel is a combination usually chosen for added corrosion resistance and edge durability without the full weight of a solid steel blade, which likely explains why the 1991724 comes in lighter at 3.2 pounds than the pure stainless BUBBA models at over 4 pounds. A 9 inch blade, matching both the length and size fields here, gives enough reach for larger fish while staying manageable for repeated strokes across a full cleaning session. The included storage case matters as much for blade longevity as convenience, since keeping a fillet blade covered between uses protects both the edge and whoever reaches into the tackle bag next. At 3.2 pounds this knife sits in a middle weight class, lighter than the electric BUBBA options but still solidly built compared to the ounce-range manual knives from other brands.
What buyers say
A 4.8 star average across 2,000 reviews is the strongest rating and volume combination in this entire comparison, edging out even the 4.7 stars the pricier 1095705 holds across a larger 6,300 review base. That the 1991724 also shows 300+ bought in the last month, tied for the top demand figure here, suggests this rating is not a fluke from a small early batch but a pattern holding up as sales continue. For a $72.99 knife to combine the highest star rating in its category with the highest purchase volume points to a product that is meeting or exceeding what buyers expected, more so than any other fillet knife covered in this comparison.

What is the BUBBA 1991724 blade made from?
It uses a combination of stainless steel and titanium, a pairing chosen for corrosion resistance and edge durability without the heavier build of the pure stainless BUBBA electric models. At 3.2 pounds it stays noticeably lighter than the 4.2 to 4.3 pound electric-style knives in the same lineup.
Does the BUBBA 1991724 come with a case?
Yes, a storage case is listed as an included feature, which helps protect the blade and keeps it contained when packed with other tackle. That is one of several details, alongside the 9 inch blade and 3.2 pound weight, that round out the $72.99 package.
