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!

Product reviews of Rapala Deluxe Electric Fillet Knife AC/DC

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.

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

Mike Bergstrom : Two Stars

does not work well

Pam : Very nice

This knife works great for fish, I just wish we would have bought one sooner.

Ashley Otto : Beware!

Went to use items and sparks flew, returning Immediately

Amazon Customer : Knife didn’t work right out of the box

Christmas gift...Knife didn’t work, didn’t realize it till he went fishing 6months later. If you get one, make sure you test it when you receive it.

Brenda Jenkins : Five Stars

My husband really likes this knife he fillets fish with it !!!

Kenneth McElwee : Great little knife

Great for cleaning catfish as you catch them on the lake.. take a small cooler, and a small cutting board, clean your fish on the water. No mess at home. Plenty sharp and enough power to do 4 or 5 pound catfish all day.

Ashley Otto : Beware!

Went to use items and sparks flew, returning Immediately

Rick : One Star

On off trigger sticks in the on position making it a dangerous tool. Should be taken off the market

LMK : Great product, Great price!!

Great product and I got it for a great price. Blades are designed for whatever you need with the flexibility and shape to move around the ribs. Love that it is AC and DC for versatility. Would definately recommend this.

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.

Amazon Customer : Lacking power

No power like 110 power

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!

Ashley Otto : Beware!

Went to use items and sparks flew, returning Immediately

Tncountryboy : Love it.

Extremely versatile. ..only way to be..

Applegirl17 : Nice

It does filet the fish but it’s a little bulky to use on angles.

susan abair : Five Stars

luv it cannot wait to skin my lg. muth bass.

Larry D. : Great Knife

So far have used this knife about 10 times and it cuts cleaning fish in half. Can be used right on the boat or at home in the house and so far no complaints...

Mark Duncan : Works as well as I had hoped

So far I've cleaned about 100 bluegills with it and a couple largemouth bass and crappies. I've had no problems and am actually enjoying cleaning fish for a change. Power seems low, but I never had any problem with it and it is very controllable. I'm happy with my decision. I love all the connection options it has available for power also. I've used it so far on the cigarette lighter in my truck and the AC outlet in the garage.

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.

Kay : Three Stars

Top of handle tends to come off while in the cutting action.

Jackie Allred : Slick for Perch

We purchased this knife to fillet perch. Normally, it would take 1.5 hours to fillet 50 perch with a regular knife, but this knife cut the job down to about 15 minutes. Easy cleanup and comes in a case.

susan abair : Five Stars

luv it cannot wait to skin my lg. muth bass.

Cynthia Ellis : Thank you for a great product

Thank you for a great product

Bruce E Lester : Five Stars

Love this knife. Does good job cleaning crappie.

Bob Cherry : Four Stars

good for skinning fish.

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.

Alyssa Banning : I sure did want the cordless one but decided to ...

I sure did want the cordless one but decided to get this one instead. Now I don't need to worry about batteries needing replaced after two years of sitting on the shelf. when this knife showed up I went straight to work using it to fillet somewhere around 70 talapia fish from a families aquaponics green house, the fillet knife worked very well and never gave trouble IMHO this fillet knife has already paid for it's self in short order!

Delfino munoz : Good idea with the case and multiple power options

Beware. I had two of these shipped to me and both had defective switches. They would only work if a massive amount of pressure was applied with two fingers and switch was rocked side to side. I managed to fillet a limit of small trout, but mangled many of the fillets concentrating on keeping the knife working rather than the the fillet job. Good idea with the case and multiple power options, and Amazon's return policy and shipping was awesome. However, until they solve this problem, its best to buy another design.

Alyssa Banning : I sure did want the cordless one but decided to ...

susan : Gears stripped after five small uses

Bought in July 2019. We did not use the item until March 2020. Gears stripped in four months of use - which was actually about five fish cleanings - and we are not cleaning lots of fish. Please save your money for a much better product.

Seeking One : Five Stars

husband loves it for cleaning fish at the lake.

Eric D. Rockers : Don't waste the money.

I gave this knife to my father-in-law as a Christmas present (2020). The first time he needed to use it was this past weekend (June 4, 2021). I helped him take it out of the package for the first time and plug it into a 110 outlet. The knife didn't work once plugged in. Then shortly after the black box on the 110V AC adapter began to smoke. We quickly unplugged it. After cleaning all our fish by hand I did try connecting the knife to a 12V battery and the knife work. However, the knife was too expensive not to be able to be plugged into a 110 outlet. Don't waste your money.

Jolene : Dangerous!!

I have used this knife twice. I am having trouble with it. It does not shut off when you let go of the button! Very Dangerous!!

Delfino munoz : Good idea with the case and multiple power options

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

Housegoddess : Great product!

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

Delfino munoz : Good idea with the case and multiple power options

TonyD. : Great value

Very good knife for cleaning fish.

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.

MiHa : This is the knife you want!

This knife set is VERY well made! At this price, I didn't know what to expect and thought that it may be flimsy, but it's not! Excellent cutting ability and the differing plug-in options make it handy for use at home or at the lake.

Kay : Three Stars

Top of handle tends to come off while in the cutting action.

Amazon Customer : One Star

I returned this item. Too expensive for the reviews I read/heard after purchasing.

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Really good boat knife.Perfect to do some quick filleting fish on boat .

Alyssa Banning : I sure did want the cordless one but decided to ...

Kay : Three Stars

Top of handle tends to come off while in the cutting action.

Pam : Very nice

This knife works great for fish, I just wish we would have bought one sooner.

Kay : Three Stars

Top of handle tends to come off while in the cutting action.

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..
