Review on πŸ”ͺ Rapala4 Soft Grip Fillet Knife with Single Stage Sharpener and Sheath: The Perfect Set for Precision Filleting by Ryan Marx

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cheap but reasonably decent knife - plastic bolster and retractable blade

When I received this knife I was dismayed to learn that the bolster is plastic not metal and that the blade is right after the Unpacking in the holder wobbles. It sharpened well and I have used it successfully to butcher four rabbits, but I have found the blade to be very easy to sharpen and needs to be sharpened very hard after each rabbit. It's not the most flexible steel, but it's not super hard either. I will say the grip is comfortable and not slippery at all even when wet and covered in slimy rabbit bits. All in all I wouldn't buy this again. For light work, however, it is quite suitable at this price. (I really don't think anyone uses this to break 40lbs of fish a night like another review claims).

Pros
  • solid construction
Cons
  • nuanced
