Overview

The Rapala HDEFAC pairs a 7.5 inch stainless steel blade with a 9 inch overall length and weighs 1.8 pounds, a weight that points to an electric fillet knife rather than a manual one. It ships as a single unit.

The model code and the heft here line up more with a corded electric fillet knife than a hand blade, since a manual fillet knife typically weighs a fraction of a pound. The stainless steel blade resists corrosion from fish slime and saltwater exposure.
