Rapala Fish n Fillet Superflex Knife

I have 3 fillet knives, and this one is my primary knife. Teflon scratches eventually, but so far mine is staying strong. Ceramic steel and this knife and I can do some fast fillets.

It takes quite a bit for me to say wow when i see something, but when i opened the package and took this knife out, thats exactly what i said. The craftsmanship is superb, especially for a mass produced, factory item like this. It is really lightweight, but strong. The blade is flexible and razor sharp out of the box and makes cleaning a breeze. The handle and brass are quality and finely made as is the sheath. This knife looks like someone made it by hand and took their time in doing it. Thats the quality i saw and felt and thats what made me say wow. Im highly pleased and couldnt recommend this knife enough. If you are looking at this, just buy it. You wont regret it.

I've never had a problem with cleaning fish, so, for decades, I have not only cleaned those that I've caught, I usually have friends & family bring their catch to me for cleaning as well. I have even received a free Canadian fishing trip just so the group would have a resident fish cleaner. Being a sucker sometimes pays off eh? Because of this I have made "friends" with more than one filet knife over the years. I have only used the Superflex Knife one time, but it was a 6 hr. cleaning session so I think I have a good feel for it at this point. The blade is indeed more flexible than the regular Rapala, but not excessively so. The one thing that I did notice, which isn't the knife's fault, is that I was having a little control issue with the Superflex blade. I attributed this to the black coating on the blade, which allows it to slide through the filet easier. Once I adjusted for that, by using lighter pressure on certain cuts, I was back in the groove. More than likely this will be my newest "friend", at least on the smaller fish, but will probably rely on the regular Rapala's heavier blade when dealing with heavier boned fish. All & all the Superflex Knife is an excellent choice for those looking for something a little more flexible than the regular Rapala, which is also a good knife in the humble opinion of this fish cleaning "sucker." I have cleaned so many fish with my regular Rapala that the blade & I have become one, which may be why I experienced the minor "control" issue with the Superflex Knife.

great for cleaning small fish like perch and bluegills except it isn't good at removing scales as blade too thin and flexible. But VERY sharp, and takes head and fins off easily. The leather case, however, is totally worthless. The knife does not fit well in the case, and falls out easily when worn on my belt. I lost my knife twice before refusing to use the case further. Knife a bit on expensive side for its size.

I've been filleting fish for 40 years--ever since my little brother (who is better at everything than I am but never brags about it) declared that he was not cleaning one more of my fish! He was the one that taught me how to fillet a fish, and he used a Rapala fillet knife. I've occasionally tried other brands, but 40 years later I'm still using Rapala. And with good reason--I got more than 10 years out of my last knife (which I still use around the kitchen), and thought I'd upgrade a little with its replacement. The PTFE non-stick coating on the blade does indeed help this knife remove the fillet from the skin more smoothly. I didn't notice a major difference on the other cuts--just the super sharp and supple performance I've come to expect from a Rapala. Expect an update on Rapala's latest offerings in another 10 years! On a side note, this product Lansky PS-MED01 BladeMedic makes a really great sidekick for the Rapala fillet knife. While you can tell I'm a big Rapala fan, this one does a better job than the little Rapala sharpeners.

This knife has worked great so far for filleting and skinning fresh-caught ocean fish. It's a bit harder to work with on some of the larger fish (as, of course, there's less ability to flex around the larger bones), but it's still long enough to get the job done. And for smaller fish, it's great and sensitive enough for filleting very closely. I do think it's getting duller and I'm skeptical about how to sharpen it. I've tried to sharpen it with standard knife sharpeners I use for all my kitchen knives and I'm not sure if it's really gotten sharper or not. With the non-stick surface (which seems like it's probably been helpful), I'm just not sure if I'm getting at the actual blade or not when I try to sharpen it. Anyway, still holding up well though!

I purchased this as a gift for my grandson as I love my older Rapalas that were given to me by my father and I purchased myself. I never had to worry where they were made...they were all extremely high quality Made in Finland by Martini. The inscription on this knife blade is "Martini Finland." That would leave one to believe this was made in Finland by the Martini company. If you believe that you would be wrong as it is actually made in Estonia! And Rapala messes up another icon of the fishing world!!

Pros and cons....So this knife is great for most all fish, but when I put it up against a 26 inch redfish, it held up pretty well, but a little too flimsy for such a tough fish like that. I like a little give ofcoarse, but for a redfish, I need something a little more sturdy. It was still great though and the 6 inch size I ordered cut through a 26 inch red just making it. Could use 9 inch for sure for the big fish. And I would reccomend ordering a 7 inch instead of 6. It is super sharp and awesome for a regular fillet knife for sure. I will still definately order another for my regular needs. Just throwing out the little details we sometimes need when shopping online.

Excellent knife with a proven track record. This brand is synonymous with quality and holds an edge very well. The Teflon on the knife makes it better than their originals. We have several of these knives and they’re amazing.

Alles Prima

Totally awesome fillet knife. We'll buy again most definitely!

主に猪の解体に使ってますが良いです。 見た目は貧弱ですがスキニングも出来 骨スキに加え頭骨の切り離しも出来ます。 刃が薄いので頚骨の間に刃が入りますので小物から100kg超級までokです。 2本使ってます。

1a Filetiermesser ... schon reichlich Fisch filetiert und immer noch scharf, bin gespannt wie lange noch. es ist jeden Cent wert :)
