Questions about Rapala Deluxe Electric Fillet Knife AC/DC

Anyone used this knife with other then fish, like like fowl ?

Answer: I used it on walleye, very poorly made. Under powered. I feel ripped off! Once I found it was useless for its sole purpose of filleting fish I threw it in my drawer for there it would remain as a fixture. I tried it for turkey and roast beef....again under powered and USELESS!!!!

Answer: I used it for fish and it did not work all that well with fish, I returned the knife and went with a none electric one, much better.

Answer: I only used this knife on fish. I was not satisfied with it at all. It did not have the power if needed to do a good job of cleaning fish. I sent it back after the first week.

I received the product and case was broken. It had a zip tie to keep it together? Can we get a new case?

Answer: I am sorry to hear about the handle. All of the knives come with a zip lock on. The come from the factory that way. There is no way for me to get another box. If it will help you I can give you a small refund of $8.00 dollars. Sorry for the inconvience Bob

Answer: My new one came with a tie also but my case was alright, I thank they would replace it.

Answer: a little glue gun repair will get you back in business

As a Christmas gift, I hesitate to buy this knife. It's the only one that can plug into a boat. Is it really as bad as the reviews say?

Answer: First time used and it was broken. Since my husband did not use it until fishing season beyond 30 days it could not be refunded. Lost my money. Not worth it.

Answer: I use mine on direct outlet connection. Never had ay issues.

Answer: Yea it is. And then some

Answer: My husband got this as a Christmas gift on 12/26/15.First time he used it the trigger stuck.

Answer: I had major problems with it. The motor isn't strong enough to last. Tje trigger wasn't designed well. I sent back two of them because the trihhers wouldn't work. May e you will get lucky??

Answer: I think it works both ac and dc filet's fish in no time flat

Answer: I love mine. Works like a charm. be careful it heats up after the 50the fish

Does this version really have an 18 foot cord as listed? thanks!! (18 foot power cord is 5th spec. down on ad).

Answer: I only have the 110V version and it's cord is only about 8'. Still the best electric filleting knife I've owned.

Answer: I have never measured it but, for my use, it is too long. 18 feet sounds about right. I have been using this knife for 15 years and cleaned over 40.000 fish with three knives... Wore one out and bought another new one 4 times.. Only thing is that they should be regreased after about 2,000 fish. LOL Not a hard job to do either.

Answer: Although I never measured it, it is no doubt very long. I pull my truck up to a picnic table where I clean fish. It has far more cable then I need. The only issue I have with the long cable is storage between uses. I wrap the line around the knife handle for storage. It requires unwinding it with the same process that you wind it or it will tend to knot up.

what is the warranty on this knife?

Answer: I'm not sure. It was a gift, but never did work. Too bad for them.

How many amps does this draw when used with 12 volt?

Answer: I use it on 12 volts many times although I mostly use the transformer. When I did hook it up to my automobile battery I cleaned over 100 fish at a time and never had to worry about my car starting. Can't be more than 3-5 amps 12 volts (around 35-50 watts)

Does this model come with the compact travel case?

Answer: This product does come with a case.

Answer: Im very sorry but this item doesnt include the traveling case.

Answer: Yes, The unit is hard cased and I keep it on board as a backup to the lithium powered Rapala filet knife. I would estimate the hard case to be maybe 15 long, 7 wide, and 4 deep but the provided dimensions are estimates from memory.

Answer: The knives do come with a travel case. So far it has been everything you could ask far.

Answer: yesit came with a hard case

how long would this run off a motorcycle battery? thanks........................

Answer: Long enough to clean your fish probably. I use a small battery for my trolling moter after I catch fish.

Answer: Not very long, and I am not sure that one would pull it. Save your money, this is not a very good knife, its quite slow and does not do a good job.

Where this knife work on frozen fish?

Answer: Hard frozen fish I would say "no". Half thawed it likely would work well.

Answer: have worked on almost frozen

How long is both baldes

Answer: you asked "How long are both of the blades"? I would say that without using a ruler , my guess is around ten or eleven inches. Hope this helps you, and yes it has done a fine job for me

Answer: Two sets of blades one set 6" other set 8"

Answer: 8 TO 9 INCHES

How many come in one order?

Answer: WOW...REALLY? If you order one then you mayhap to get one.

Answer: 1 unit; one large and one small set on blades; one electric cord and one battery cord. Good product. This is the second set we have bought.

Answer: 1

Answer: one

Do you sell blades for the electric fishing knife ?

I have NOT recieved thisd item yet!!

Whats the best way to sharpen blades. Aslo any tips on keep motor clean or inside where blades connect? Do you spray anything in there where blades or

Answer: Unless you are cutting through big bones, I have never had to sharpen my blades and I have used this knife for 15 years and cleaned 10,000 fish with each of 4 new knives. I am NOT kidding! Been retired all that time...

Where can i get the ac to dc adapter?

As a Christmas gift, I hesitate to buy this knife. It's the only one that can plug into a boat. Is it really as bad as the reviews say?

Answer: First time used and it was broken. Since my husband did not use it until fishing season beyond 30 days it could not be refunded. Lost my money. Not worth it.

Answer: I use mine on direct outlet connection. Never had ay issues.

Answer: Yea it is. And then some

Answer: I think it works both ac and dc filet's fish in no time flat

Answer: I love mine. Works like a charm. be careful it heats up after the 50the fish

Will this knife work when used with a four-wheeler battery?

Answer: I've got the 110V one so no experience with 12 volt one. I expect if the battery is 12V it should work fine.

Answer: as long as the battery is 12volt, it's fine.

Answer: if it is 12 Volts it will work .

Answer: yes but will work a lot better if ya leave motor running while in use.

Answer: No

Answer: Yes

Where lease knife set on recall??

Answer: I bought one a year ago and I haven’t heard anything about it. Hmmmm!

where is the blade release? Is it on top where you'll push it when in use?

Answer: Release on top.

Answer: yes believe it or not the release is right where your thumb always is. dumb....

Product reviews of Rapala Deluxe Electric Fillet Knife AC/DC

royce kirk : Four Stars

works good, thanks

A.W. : He was very disappointed so I ended up having to go out and ...

The first time my dad used this it broke. I had given it to him as a gift and he hadn't used it right away so I couldn't return it. He was very disappointed so I ended up having to go out and buy another brand.

JJ : has option to use AC or DC power

Havent actually used it to clean a fish but its excellent quality kit including the box it comes in and the ACDC option puts it heads above the other choices when ur out on a boat etc..

TonyD. : Great value

Very good knife for cleaning fish.

Vincent B Clark : Five Stars

Easy to use.

Kristy L. Goodale : Five Stars

Very nice.

Matt D. : I took it apart and the trigger didn't contact the actuator button well enough so i put a couple folds of electrical tape inside

the trigger had to be pressed unreasonably hard to activate the knife. I took it apart and the trigger didn't contact the actuator button well enough so i put a couple folds of electrical tape inside the trigger to span the distance so now it works better. So if you're willing to take it apart for this, it's a good fileting knife. I was worried it may cut through the bones or through the skin as part of the process but it did not... the blade design is good.

Patti Jo McGrath : Easy to use on the fly while fishing.

Great knife! Just ordered my 3rd knife set in a 20 year span. We clean our fish on the go while salmon fishing so as to return the carcass for the young fry. Very sturdy, easy to use and clean up. Fish bagged and knife put away in no time. Thanks Rapala!

Bruce E Lester : Five Stars

Love this knife. Does good job cleaning crappie.

C. E. Vance : That's the ticket!

Have used this for a long time. Works well after doing a hundred or so salmon and steelhead

rabungirl : love this knife

This is the second Rapala electric knife I've owned. The first lasted for years. That's why I purchased the same knife set again. Use it when fishing and cutting roast. Love it.

Pattie Price : Works good, it has a learning curve!

It's a work in progress!

Kathie Bradley : Dead on Arrival - Did Not Honor Warranty

Well, I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband. Once spring fishing picked up, he got it out to use it, and it does not work. I mean, he did not even open it until he was ready to use it and it was dead. The problem here is that nobody would take it back and the "30 day warranty" was expired. I was sad that his gift ended up not working, he was disappointed that a favorite brand of his did nothing to replace the defective unit.

Housegoddess : Great product!

Perfect for cleaning catfish. Getting it turned in was a dilemma.

Amazon Customer : Lacking power

No power like 110 power

Tweediaflower : Present for my Dad

My father filets his fish on a fish cleaning station he sets up in the trunk of his car. He likes to use an electric knife that runs off battery power or connects to his car's cigarette lighter. He has even attached the hookups to the battery in the boat and that worked well too. He raves about how well it works.

Sandy B. : Don’t buy

Way to much cord and you have this big square box you have to find a spot to place it. Then it sticks and won’t shut off.

Matt D. : I took it apart and the trigger didn't contact the actuator button well enough so i put a couple folds of electrical tape inside

Ron Witkowski : Fast delivery and runs quiet

Just received the knife but so far it works runs very quiet time will tell maybe this weekend

Kindle Customer : Ok

Didn’t like the way blades cut. Almost had to saw to fillet bigger fish.

Tncountryboy : Love it.

Extremely versatile. ..only way to be..

Lil.Hansen : Two Stars

Good price, but did not work right out of the box. First time husband tried to use it-nothing worked.

JJ : has option to use AC or DC power

Havent actually used it to clean a fish but its excellent quality kit including the box it comes in and the ACDC option puts it heads above the other choices when ur out on a boat etc..

dan kellogg : Five Stars

love this... makes cleaning a breeze

kristine hart : we love the knife works good out on our boat

we love the knife works good out on our boat, we cleaned 60 pearch before it even got warm

Marilyn Delfo : This knife doesn't work.

Is there a special way to turn this knife on? We've had it on the charger, but it doesn't seem to charge. Is there instruction on it, of is this something we aren't doing.

Donice Allison : Time saver

Runs very powerfully. Great for my boat.

Lil.Hansen : Two Stars

Good price, but did not work right out of the box. First time husband tried to use it-nothing worked.

JJ : has option to use AC or DC power

Havent actually used it to clean a fish but its excellent quality kit including the box it comes in and the ACDC option puts it heads above the other choices when ur out on a boat etc..

Zachary Hewlett : Very low rpm

Underpowered junk. I have a 20 dollar electric knife from Walmart that puts out more rpm than this thing.

Dennis J. Coplin SR : Rapala makes great products, this knife is no different. Highly recommend.

Great filet knife, has two blades and is AC/DC so you have multiple power choices.

Rob : Undoubtedly designed by the liability legal team

Very weak, dull and slow. Wasted a lot of fish meat trying to fillet a dozen medium sized sand bass even when running it on the 110 converter. I trashed the case or would be returning it as it is not useable

Cynthia Ellis : Thank you for a great product

Thank you for a great product

Mike Bergstrom : Two Stars

does not work well

Seeking One : Five Stars

husband loves it for cleaning fish at the lake.

EndOfWeekGeek : 0 for 2

Couldn't wait to make the switch to an electric fillet knife. Ordered this. The first one delivered and only one of the two blades would lock in place, the other would come flying out and launch across the room every time I turned the knife on. Exchanged it with Amazon, swift and painless. New one arrived. Turned it on and all was good. Didn't get out fishing again, as it arrived in the fall. Got it out of my drawer in the spring and it would not turn on. Tested the AC adapter and it's good, so something is wrong with the knife. It does have a 2 year warranty, so I'm returning this one and trying an American Angler that gets great reviews and sells for a few dollars less rather than give this yet another chance.

Sherri Hammons : Real fishermen shouldn't do without this knife.

I've bought and borrowed similar fillet knives but none of them even compare to this one. All you have to do is guide it and it does all the work. Be cleaning fish for 50 years and this was my best experience.

K. Redmann : Blades are disappointing

Blades don't appear to be what is represented in photo, and not very useful based upon my first experience. I would return it except it was a gift and don't want to hurt others feeling, but serious fisherman will not have the patience needed with this knife

EndOfWeekGeek : 0 for 2

Amazon Customer : This product was amazing when we first bought it

This product was amazing when we first bought it. But not even 6 months later it barely had enough power to cut a few fish last night. Is this normal? Do we need to replace the blades or the whole product? It's only been used maybe 5 times total would assume we would get more life out of it.

K Lech : Deluxe Fillet Knife

I ordered it before the fishing trip and I loved it. The case, long cords, 12V, 110V, car battery clips, multiple blades, priced good... Loved it! Then I set it up to clean the fish. I did one. The motor stops any time you push on the knife. Looks like the knife does not get enough power. Could be because the 12 V motor? I'll try one running on 110 and will see. I'd sure like to keep it, but can't really use it the way it is.

Amazon Customer : does not cut!!

Awful. Had to literally rip/tear through the fish. Ended up just throwing away the first fish. Figured on the second I'd just have to cut the whole side off and leave the scales on. Only gave it two stars bc it can connect to cig lighter outlet and to boat batter as well as AC power, which is why I bought it. I'd buy a generator to run a cheap Mister Twister before bying this again. Wish I could return it but it is covered with butchered fish parts....

Chan Man : COMPLETE GARBAGE

Replace this unit after the other one burned out after a couple dozed uses. Motor burned out 5 minutes into first use. Both purchased on Amazon.

RAP : Don't waste your money

I purchased this knife based on a 110 volt Rapala used by my relative to clean Redfish. I went to use my 12 volt with plugged in a/c-d/c adaptar on a large mess of redfish we caught in south Lousiana. I started out on a small red and could barely get it through the first line of scales. I thought I was doing something wrong. I tried again on an even smaller fish with no success. Meanwhile my cousin was burning through 20-24 inch fish like butter with his 110 volt knife. My knife stalled, got hot and would not cut even the flesh of the fish. The blades themselves were plenty sharp but the motor would not create any type of RPMs. I would not waste money on another Rapala like this one.

J• Wright : Electric fillet knife

Great knife for fish filleting. Works great and very comfortable and sturdy.

E. Baker : This knife is good for at least 10,000 fish

This is the 4th knife like this I have purchased in the last 14 years. I have cleaned over 30,000 fish with the other 3 knives and am looking forward to the next 10,000 with this knife. BTW I do fish 4-5 days every week being retired helps... They fixed the on/off switch problem with this knife so I don't have to tweak it (like I did knife #3) at all. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Amazon Customer : This product was amazing when we first bought it

kristine hart : we love the knife works good out on our boat

we love the knife works good out on our boat, we cleaned 60 pearch before it even got warm

Brian T. : Works better & fast then Fillet knife

Weak motor bogs very easy so you have to take your time,plus one knife was dull for being new.

Marilyn Delfo : This knife doesn't work.

Is there a special way to turn this knife on? We've had it on the charger, but it doesn't seem to charge. Is there instruction on it, of is this something we aren't doing.
