The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Not every angler wants to spend big on a fillet knife, and at $11.99 this unbranded option is priced to compete directly with the cheapest names in this comparison, sitting just above the $10.49 Rapala 126SP.
The blade is described as a flexible stainless steel design sized 7 to 9 inches, paired with a polypropylene handle that keeps the overall weight to 7.04 ounces. It comes in an orange and black color scheme and ships as a single pack that includes a storage case, a feature not listed on either Rapala model in this comparison. The 9 inch size figure matches the upper end of the blade's stated 7 to 9 inch range.
Despite carrying no brand name, this knife holds a 4.5 star average across 1,000 reviews, a rating that matches the Rapala 126SP and sits only slightly behind the 4.6 stars of the KastKing Spartacus, BUBBA 1095704, Kershaw 1259X and Dexter SG133-8EG. Where it lags is recent demand, with Amazon listing 0+ units bought in the last month, the same figure as the KastKing Spartacus and well below the 50+ to 300+ seen on the other knives here. At $11.99 with a storage case included, it is one of the cheapest ways into this category, even without the recent sales momentum some competitors show.

- At $11.99 it is one of the least expensive fillet knives in this comparison
- 4.5 star average across 1,000 reviews matches the Rapala 126SP's rating on a larger review sample
- Flexible stainless steel blade is sized for a 7 to 9 inch range, covering smaller and larger fish
- Includes a storage case, a feature not listed on the Rapala fillet knives here
- At 7.04 ounces it stays light and easy to handle for extended use
Cons
- Amazon lists 0+ bought in the last month, tied for the weakest recent demand signal in this comparison
- No brand name is listed, unlike every other knife in this lineup
- Its 1,000 reviews and 4.5 stars trail the top-rated BUBBA 1095705 at 4.7 stars across 6,300 reviews
- Polypropylene is a lower-cost handle material than the co-polymer or stainless builds on some alternatives

Performance notes
A flexible blade is meant to follow the contour of a fish's bones rather than cut straight through them, which matters most on the 7 to 9 inch range this blade is sized for, wide enough to handle a range of fish sizes with one knife. Stainless steel keeps the edge from corroding after repeated contact with fish and rinse water, a standard choice at this price point. The polypropylene handle helps keep total weight to 7.04 ounces, lighter than the KastKing Spartacus at 15.16 ounces and far lighter than either pound-plus BUBBA model, which suits anglers who prioritize a light, easy to control grip over added heft. The included storage case protects the flexible blade between uses and makes it easier to pack alongside other tackle without a separate sheath purchase.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 1,000 reviews is a strong result for a knife with no listed brand name, matching the established Rapala 126SP on a larger sample size. That suggests buyers are judging the knife on its own merits rather than a name, and the volume of reviews indicates it has moved in real numbers over time. The 0+ bought in the last month figure is the same weak recent signal seen on the KastKing Spartacus, which does not undercut the historical rating but does suggest current sales momentum has slowed compared to whatever period generated its 1,000 reviews. For a budget pick at $11.99, the rating-to-price ratio still reads favorably.

Frequently asked questions
Does this fillet knife come with a case?
Yes, the listing includes a storage case as a feature alongside the flexible stainless steel blade, which is not listed on the Rapala fillet knives covered in this same comparison. At $11.99 and 7.04 ounces, the case adds practical storage without pushing the price near the branded alternatives here.
What size fish is this knife built for?
The blade is sized in a 7 to 9 inch range, with the size field listing 9 inches specifically, making it suited to a variety of fish sizes rather than one narrow use case. The flexible stainless steel construction is meant to follow the fish's bones through that whole range.
Is this fillet knife still popular?
It holds a 4.5 star average across 1,000 reviews, but Amazon lists 0+ units bought in the last month, so recent demand looks weaker than its long-term rating history suggests. At $11.99 the price stays low regardless, making it an inexpensive option even without current sales momentum.
