Rapala R12 Heavy-Duty Lithium Fillet Knife Combo

Powerful, long lasting, and SO much faster to clean fish!Never had battery give out on me, 30 perch/walleye no problem. I use these to remove ribs and skin from backbone then remove ribs from fillets with a 7" rapala fillet knife. Once you get the hang of it takes maybe 45 seconds a fish. That's a huge difference from before I had this electric (battery) knife.Have also cleaned at same table as a friend with the "other" top brand electric knife and I wouldn't trade based on performance.Only drawback is the blades are not as universal as the other knives. He can easily find less aggressive and cheaper replacement blades, but he paid almost 100.00 more.I highly recommend!

I’ll put it up against any knife out there! We catch a lot of fish and it works like a champ!

Works as well as any I have used and I have used many. This knife runs a higher rpm than most and has some good torque. Blades are very sharp and it fillets well. Expensive and I think they are taking advantage there but the knife does work well on big walleye down to blue gill.

So I use the heck out of my knife. Im a guide and clean a lot of catfish and crappie with them. They out preform any batt knife out there. Most people don't like the Bubba knife and to be honest I haven't used that one because I love this one. Plus many of my friends switched to the R12. Now it's not going to last forever. I have broke 2 or 3 but I clean a lot of fish. I keep a spare for when I break one. The blades are great but I have yet to find the replacement black blades. The cheap silver ones work though. I love the 2 batts. I have cleaned over 100 crappie on one batt. I like the thumb button and it fits great in my hands. I like the freedom of not having a cord. That's a game changer. The R12 blows away the old Rapala knife. Now, I have had the thumb button go out before. Ive had them quit oscillating on one side as well. Ive also had them stick on and have to pull the batt. But I still use them and think it's the best option at this point and time.

I have tried many different Electric Fillet fish cleaning knives, with good results, But this is at the top of my list, And I do clean lots of fish mostly Crappie,

This is an excellent knife when it doesn’t break downThis knife is very capable of cleaning grouper with the proper fillet knives, which they don’t offerThe sharpest knives for cleaning bigger fish like grouper are actually what Bubba hasBut the Bubba knife is not comparable to this knife. One bit. It has three times the torque and a better fit for your hand.The problem is trying to get a hold of Rapala customer service .Which knows there is a problem with this plain knifeSomething strips out, and the blades do not engage.I hope RAPALA decides to stand behind these knives with a better way to get a hold of them than having to scroll through their whole site and trying to find the proper website or proper email site to be able to get a hold of them. They know they have a problem they need to deal with it.MY THOUGHTS ARE WHEN YOU BUY A KNIFE IT SHOULD LASTNOT HAVE TO CALL THE NUMBER HAVE THEM CALL YOU BACK THE NEXT DAY AND THEN SPINS AND WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING TO LOCATE AN EMAIL ADDRESS SO THEY CAN GET BACK TO YOU.I THINK MOST FISHERMAN CAN FEEL THAT THEIR TIME COULD BE MORE WELL SPENT THAN TRYING TO GET A WARRANTY ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF

Definitely a Cadillac compared to the Bubba knife. Do not waste your money on the expensive Bubba cordless knife. I cleaned 2 crappie with the Bubba and didn't take long to make my wrist irritated. This Rapala cordless is a awesome knife!!!!

This thing is great. Batteries hold a charge for ages and the blades are sharp and zip through the fillets like butter. The trigger is easy to use and is a better design than other electric knives I’ve tried. Cleaned two man limits of walleye and perch over a week in Ontario and never even got into the second battery. Excellent knife for the money.

Lots of power ! Works great , easy to use and fits very comfortable in your had. Makes cleaning your fish quick and easy.Nice case 2 sets of blades & 2 batteries.You won't regret buying this knife

Hade a Rapala Duluxe for years and needed something with a trigger on top because of weak fingers, but the R12 has top trigger and the power is unbelievable

Pour ceux qui aiment faire les filets de poissons ce couteaux est celui qu’il vous faut,lames tranchantes et les piles rechargeables gardent leur charge ,je suis très satisfait et je le recommande fortement 😁😄😄

super efficace

Love it. for walleye and pike
