RUNCL B1540151-01 Fillet Knife Review
Our verdict
The RUNCL B1540151-01 is a 6 piece fillet knife combo set priced at $13.59, close to the standalone $10.49 Rapala 126SP but delivering six knives instead of one. It holds a 4.5 star rating across 219 reviews, though bought last month reads 0+, meaning recent purchase volume trails the Rapala 126SP's 100+ despite the multi piece value angle.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers who want multiple fillet knives on hand for around $13.59, useful for backup blades, different sized cuts, or sharing among a fishing group. Good fit for budget minded buyers who value quantity and a 4.5 star rating over a single premium blade.
Skip if
Skip this set if you want one durable premium knife rather than six lighter pieces, since TPE construction points to a starter kit, not a heavy duty single blade. Also skip it if recent buying activity matters, since bought last month sits at 0+.

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
Picture needing a few different blade shapes for cleaning a mixed catch, say panfish one trip and something bigger the next, without buying knives one at a time. The RUNCL B1540151-01 answers that with a 6 piece combo set priced at $13.59, built from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) handles and weighing 1.98 pounds combined, with each piece around 6.1 inches.
That price puts it right alongside the $10.49 Rapala 126SP, the cheapest single knife in this comparison, except the RUNCL set delivers six pieces for a few dollars more. Its 4.5 star rating across 219 reviews sits close to the Rapala 126SP's 4.5 stars over 423 reviews and above the Rapala BP136SH's 4.4 stars, though with fewer total reviews than either.
The gap shows up in recent demand. Bought last month reads 0+ for the RUNCL set, the same as the Rapala BP136SH, while the Rapala 126SP shows 100+ and the Kershaw 1259X shows 50+. For anglers who want several knives on hand at a low combined price, the rating pattern here is solid, but this is not currently the fastest moving option in the lineup.
Pros
- 6 pieces included, more knives per purchase than any single blade rival
- 4.5 star rating across 219 reviews, matching the Rapala 126SP's average
- Priced at $13.59, close to the cheapest single knife in this comparison
- Lightweight TPE handle construction across the set
- Compact 6.1 inch length suits smaller fish and tighter cleaning spaces
Cons
- Bought last month is 0+, tied with the lowest demand signal in this comparison
- Fewer total reviews (219) than the Rapala 126SP (423) or Kershaw 1259X (1,500)
- TPE construction may not match the durability expectations of a stainless steel blade
- Combined 1.98 pound weight across 6 pieces means less heft per individual knife

Performance notes
With six pieces weighing 1.98 pounds combined, each individual knife in this RUNCL set works out to a fraction of a pound, lighter than a single blade built from heavier material. Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is a flexible, grippy material, chosen here across the whole set rather than a metal handle, which keeps cost down and makes each piece easy to hold even with wet hands. At 6.1 inches, these knives run close in length to the Rapala 126SP's 6 inches, a size suited to smaller panfish and trout rather than large saltwater species. Having six pieces in one purchase also means a backup is always on hand if one blade dulls or gets misplaced, which single knife purchases like the Rapala or Kershaw models do not offer.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 219 reviews closely matches the Rapala 126SP's 4.5 stars over 423 reviews, suggesting similar buyer satisfaction despite the RUNCL set having roughly half the review volume. The bought last month figure of 0+ stands out against the Rapala 126SP's 100+, pointing to lower current purchase momentum even though the historical rating pattern looks comparable. This combination, a solid rating with limited recent activity, often shows up with multi piece sets that get purchased less frequently but in bulk when they do sell, since one combo set can replace several single knife purchases at once. Buyers focused on established satisfaction scores rather than sales velocity may still find this a reasonable pick.

Frequently asked questions
Is the RUNCL B1540151-01 combo set a good value at $13.59?
At $13.59 for 6 pieces, it costs only a few dollars more than the single bladed Rapala 126SP at $10.49. Its 4.5 star rating across 219 reviews matches the Rapala 126SP's average, making the per knife cost look favorable if you need multiple blades.
What are the knives in this set made from?
The listed material is thermoplastic elastomer, known as TPE, used across all 6 pieces in the set. It is a flexible, grippy material rather than metal, which keeps the set lightweight at 1.98 pounds combined and helps with comfort during longer cleaning sessions.
Why does bought last month show 0+ for this set?
Amazon lists 0+ for bought last month, meaning no significant recent purchase volume was recorded, unlike the Rapala 126SP's 100+ in the same window. The 219 existing reviews and 4.5 star rating show the set has sold and satisfied buyers before, just not at a high rate most recently.
