Quick take

A 6 in flexible stainless steel fillet knife with a contoured handle and built-in ceramic sharpener.

The Rapala Deluxe Falcon is a 6-inch fillet knife with a flexible stainless steel needle-point blade and a textured polymer handle with an integrated finger guard. It is ambidextrous and weighs about 0.3 pounds. The hard sheath has a ceramic-stick sharpener built in, so you can touch up the edge at the water before the next fish goes on the board.

Best for

Filleting panfish and medium-sized fish
Anglers who want to keep the blade sharp in the field
Processing fish at camp or the dock

Skip if

You fillet large fish regularly; a longer blade works better
You do not want the learning curve for proper filleting technique

Strengths

Flexible stainless steel blade follows the fish's natural contours
Ceramic stick sharpener integrated into the sheath for field maintenance
Finger guard protects your hand during slippery filleting

Trade-offs

6 in blade is short for large catfish or striped bass
Stainless steel is not quite as sharp as high-carbon for filleting
Requires proper technique to avoid damaging the meat
