Rapala Heavy Duty Electric Fillet Knife

Rapala Heavy Duty Electric Fillet Knife Product Review

Out of all the electric fillet knives out there, the Rapala Heavy-Duty Electric Fillet Knife has to be one of the best.

Rapala is the world’s leading manufacturer of fishing lures and various other fishing products and has been providing the world with top quality products since the 1930s.

Blade

The blade on this knife is a healthy 7.5 inches, and it uses reciprocating blades, rendering it ultra-sharp. The powerful knife can easily cut through rib bones and backbones and help you prepare fish in no time.

The reciprocating blades move back and forth to cut through the flesh and bones quickly and easily, giving you a super clean cut.

7.5 inches is large enough for big fish such as walleye, salmon or trout, but it’s better suited to small to medium fish. Either way, you shouldn’t experience any issues as the knife will glide through the flesh like butter.

As it’s such a sharp knife, you have to be gentle and delicate if you have a heavy hand. You don’t want to cut right through the backbone, do you? It has twice the blade speed and three times the power of a standard electric fillet knife.

The blade is also quite flexible; flexible enough so that you can peel the fillet right down on the fish’s skin.

The knife is easily washed and dishwasher safe, so you don’t need to stress about getting the knife dirty! As it’s ok to go in the dishwasher, it will save you a few minutes of getting the fish smell off the knife.

Design

This knife can be operated easily just by pressing the on button. The knife only works when the button is pressed in, which is great if you have safety concerns.

The grip on the handle is brilliant, so you’ll have full control of the knife whenever it’s in your hands. Slippery handles can easily lead to accidents, so this handle has a strong grip. The relaxed grip will ensure you have a fatigue-free filleting session.

This is the perfect sized knife – it’s not too big or too small. The compact design makes it easily portable, and it can easily become a permanent part of your fishing kit. It’ll fit in any tackle box, bag, or even your pocket.

Please bear in mind that this isn’t a cordless knife – it has an 8-foot long power cord, which will give you more than enough reach.

You’d think such a good electric knife would make a lot of noise, but the motor is surprisingly quiet. This is because Rapala’s custom airflow design allows air to flow through the motor, keeping it cool and quiet – which is always a bonus!
