This thing is incredible! Have absolutely beat it up the last couple years and it performs flawlessly, and makes cleaning fish fun. Wouldn't change a thing, and even splurged to buy another as a Christmas present for a family member. I really don't understand any negative reviews unless it's some undercover competitor snob or they're mistakenly reviewing a different, older fillet knife when the technology has drastically improved. You will NOT be disappointed!

Overrated power; for small fish only

Way overrated for its "power," this knife cannot cut through bigger fish (such as Lake Michigan lake trout), whereas my smallest bubba blade can. If you have ever wondered why charter capta… Read More

Way overrated for its "power," this knife cannot cut through bigger fish (such as Lake Michigan lake trout), whereas my smallest bubba blade can. If you have ever wondered why charter captains do not use electric knives, this knife will show you why. For me, a waste of money.

Ordered during the Memorial Day weekend sale. FishUSA provided a great price and promptly shipped the fillet knife. 5-Stars for FishUSA. Rapala on the other hand..... I liked the fillet knife, especially with the power button on top of the knife. It's a natural place to rest the thumb and its easy to keep pressure on it while cleaning fish. This knife is quick. I went through 2 limits of walleye like it was nothing. I can not tell you how much battery it used though, because the LED work light and battery level LEDs have never worked since I unpackaged the knife. The LEDs not working does not seem to impact knife performance However I question if it is a sign of future issues. I'll be reaching out to Rapala to see if they care to resolve the issue. For now though, I question their quality control practices. FishUSA - 5 ***** Rapala - 2 **

Lets face it, after a long day on the water we are all pretty tired and this knife makes cleaning fish a breeze instead of a chore. I only keep a meals worth of fish at a time (I do not freeze fish because Im a frequent fisherman) and I found myself having to sharpen my regular fillet knife after each cleaning just adding to this task. Then figured out if I bought another all serrated fillet knife to cut through the scales and through the rib bones it saved my regular fillet knives edge to use to remove the meat off the skin and do fine trimming. This Rapala R12 knife is the best of both worlds with power and finesse. The lithium battery (three 18650s per battery) lasts a long time and doesn't slow down when Im nearing the end of a long cleaning session. I like that I can clean fish anywhere with it. It is a little pricey but I would rather buy this quality knife I will have for a long time over one thats a little bit cheaper in price but not as high of quality.
