Rapala 6-Inch Fillet Knives

I have had a Rappala fillet knife for over 45 years, and the wooden handle has finally become unrepairable. I loved that knife because it was easy to sharpen and held a razor sharp edge very well. Best knife I have ever owned. So, now I purchased this new Rappala fillet knife expecting disappointment because it was made in China. To my surprise, it's actually a great knife. It's not the quality of my old Rappala fillet knife, but a close second. The blade is razor sharp and holds its edge. The handle is plastic, which is actually more hygienic than the old wood handled version. The blade thickness isn't quite as narrow and flexible as my old knife, but it's OK. Overall, for as inexpensive as this Rappala fillet knife is, it's a damn good knife. The only issue is it doesn't come with a belt loop sheath, and only has a rigid plastic sheath to protect the edge while in a drawer or tackle box. Still, it's well worth purchasing, and I recommend it.

My husband uses these knives all the time for fileting fish. Cheap but yet but very durable

Great knife & price, easy to sharpen.Con : hard plastic handle is not desireable to me due to possible slippage.

Holds the edge well

Cheap plastic handle, but just as sharp as my more expensive knives!

I love this knife. I was first introduced to this knife brand by my father. He had one in his tacklebox and I always used it. It was easy for me to use and being left handed some knives can be difficult. Not this one! It fits my hand and is very easy to use. The blade is thin and flexable. I love these knives.

It was not as sharp as described. Had to resharpen it myself.

Good for the price. Stays sharp and sharpens easy. The tip could be better but that’s not Hard to fix
