Questions about Rapala 9" Fish'n Fillet Knife / Single Stage Sharpener / Sheath

how long is this knife? just wanna make sure before making decision.

Answer: Blade-8 3/4",handle-4 7/8",tot-13 1/2", blade is measured straight handle to tip (if measured along radius of curve it would be 9" of edge. One more thing, I know you didn't ask about this but: this is the best designed sheath for a filet knife in the world.

Answer: The blade is 9" long rather than 7" long. It is a good knife to use when filleting bigger fish.

Answer: Read the package and descriptions 9" Very nice for salt water or larger fish, Easy to sharpen. I put several coats of tung oil on the handle to help preserve it, No it's not a custom or higher dollar fillet knive with a steel that stays sharper longer. For the bucks a nice knife. I've had the smaller version for years. You do need to rinse and wipe the blade with mineral or other oil after use as this knife will rust.

Answer: The blade is 9" the rapalla 7 has a 7" blade.

Answer: The blade is 9". Great for use in the kitchen also. We have the 6" bladed one also. Both are quite useful.

If I am wading into the water with the sheath on, am I going to ruin it? And can anyone tell me about this sharpener?

Answer: It's quality stainless. If saltwater rinse it afterwards. Don't leave in sheath wet when finished. Allow both to dry.

Answer: The sheath is rawhide leather. It should hold up just as well is a leather belt. I have been having one since 1980 and still in good shape and been through The Weather. The shop no holds up very well. Ceramic doesn't hardly wear out.

Answer: It's quality stainless. If saltwater rinse it afterwards. Don't leave in sheath wet when finished. Allow both to dry.

Where is this knife manufactured?

Answer: I have 4" skinning knife made by them and it came from Finland. I have this knife and they are identical except for length.

Answer: I believe it is made in Finland. I have had one for over 30 years that my Dad had. I bought my own, and gave one to each of my sons. What a knife!

Answer: I never paid much attention to place of manufacture, I thought it was made in Sweden

Answer: Do you not know how to use google?

Need to clarify / what is the Overall length of knife ?( not just the blade ). Thank you

Answer: I believe it is 14 inches...

Product reviews of Rapala 9" Fish'n Fillet Knife / Single Stage Sharpener / Sheath

Anthony Earl : Great deal

Great product

Stewart C : Wish I had found it before now!

This knife is perfect for fillet'ing any fish or size fish. Extremely sharp, and it looks like this guy will be with me for a very long time. The sharpener that comes with it is easy to use and effective also.

T. Maris : Rapala 9 Fillet Knife

This knife is great. When you catch large fish it enables you to easily fillet them because of the lenghth of the blade.

martha j. : Handy for big striper filets

Great for removing large filets

dale riley : Fast shipping

Good product

Shamish : Great knife!

My Dad had a 9" Rapala that I saved when he died. I remember him using it when I was a kid in the 50's. I still use it as a great kitchen knife to cut almost anything. It is a great knife, and I bought a 4" one in 2014. Best knife you will ever own.

Mark Torres : Nice

Love it.

Daniel J. Bowens : Five Stars

Love it....

ronny111 : Overpriced and not very sharp

This knife is an overpriced joke. I ended up using one of the kitchen knives after struggling with a decent size bass. I would have returned it if I was not too lazy to do it.

Dulce Láriz : Excelente

Fue un regalo para mi pareja, le gustó mucho. Es muy filoso y esta muy bonito.

cabana jean-francois : De qualité

Unclassique pour les gros poisson ideal pour brochet

TPG : What the Doc ordered

Had one of these for years and lost it somehow. Very glad to find another large one. Very sharpe

Jason : Works as described!

Works as described!

Shane Locke : A first class fillet blade!

This is a fantastic fillet knife, purchased for a busy summer on the Alaskan Kenai River. It has done its job and we are very happy with it. Recommended!

C. Sue Pickett : Five Stars

Wonderful for any fisherman that fillets fish!

Dulce Láriz : Excelente

Fue un regalo para mi pareja, le gustó mucho. Es muy filoso y esta muy bonito.

Sterling : Simply The Best Fillet Knife Out There

I broke down and bought a new 9" Rapala Fillet knife because I was feeling sorry for my old one which is probably thirty years old. The blade is getting pretty thin but it still shaves after a couple of strokes through the Warthog sharpener.

Poor thing, the wood handle finally cracked so I had to dip it into liquid plastic which worked very well so there's a tip for you. It improves your grip on the knife as well as protects the wood.

When you fillet fish as often as I do you want a knife that gets sharp and stays sharp...this is the knife you want.

The 9" blade flexes perfectly and will slide right along the backbone of the fish. I use mine for boning out deer meat too.

Get one or two; you won't regret it.

GemCindi : Same quality knife for decades!

Bought this to replace my husbands Rapala 7-1/2” knife that he has had for 30 years. The old one was getting thin, it has been well used. The new one is of equal quality from the birch handle to the leather sheath. He loved the new knife, but kept the old knife too. It’s still good! You won’t be disappointed in any of the Rapala knives.

Len : Great Knife

Great fillet knife for large 3 to 8 pound trout! It’s big enough to power through bones when filleting! Very pleased!

Lt Dan : Just the right flexibility.

I have used Rapala knives for filleting fish for over 50 years now. They seem to have just the right flexibility for skinning especially with soft skinned fish like sea trout. I have used other brands occasionally over the years but always count on Rapala.

Joseph C. Campbell : fine knife

Works as I expected ,stays sharp and does the job.

Anthony Earl : Great deal

Great product

Sevener : very good knife for the larger Salmon

Sharp, very good knife for the larger Salmon.

Ray : Classic of all the fillet knives.

Looks like the same quality as the ones I grew up with since the 70's. Classic style, great blade that sharpens well, top quality sheath. I have many rapala knives and they have all served me well. I know how to sharpen properly, so that helps.
