The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At $100.0, the SORD FBA-PARENT sits at the top of the price range for fillet knives in this comparison, ahead of even the Toadfish 1094's $88.0. That price buys a fiberglass build with a 12.5 inch length, a sheath included, and a listed weight of just 0.35 ounces, making it the lightest tool on the shelf by a wide margin.
Where the SORD stands apart from the Toadfish is demand. Despite costing more, it shows 100+ bought last month, well ahead of the Toadfish's 0+ and matching the Rapala 126SP's 100+ figure at a fraction of that knife's $10.49 price. That's a meaningfully different signal than a high price with no recent purchase activity behind it.
The rating pattern also holds up. A 4.7 star average across 269 reviews ties the danco RKB-P-010 and the Toadfish 1094 for the top rating in this group, and it comes with nearly 70 percent more reviews than the Toadfish's 163. Combined with the strong bought-last-month figure, the review pattern suggests this is a knife with both satisfied owners and consistent recent sales, even at the highest price point in the comparison.
Pros
- 4.7 star rating across 269 reviews, tied for the top rating in this fillet knife group
- 100+ bought last month, the strongest recent demand of any knife priced above $50
- Fiberglass build with a sheath included for storage
- Listed weight of just 0.35 ounces, by far the lightest in this comparison
- 269 reviews outpaces the Toadfish 1094's 163 by a wide margin
Cons
- At $100.0, it's the most expensive fillet knife in this comparison
- Costs nearly ten times the Rapala 126SP's $10.49
- Costs almost five times the Kershaw 1259X's $20.51
- 269 reviews is still well short of the Kershaw's 1,500

Performance notes
A fiberglass build at 12.5 inches overall and a listed weight of just 0.35 ounces makes this the lightest knife in the comparison by a wide margin, which should reduce hand fatigue during longer cleaning sessions on a full catch. The included sheath covers storage and transport, protecting the edge in a tackle bag or boat compartment. The size and color fields list a 9 inch measurement alongside a '7 inch medium flex' designation, which points to more than one length or flex variant being sold under this same listing, so it's worth confirming exactly which configuration you're ordering before checkout. At $100.0, the spec sheet supports a lightweight, low-fatigue design as the main pitch, rather than heft or a premium exotic blade material.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average across 269 reviews places the SORD FBA-PARENT among the top-rated knives in this set, level with the danco RKB-P-010 and the Toadfish 1094, and ahead of the Kershaw's 4.6 stars and the Rapala 126SP's 4.5 stars. What sets it apart is the bought-last-month figure of 100+, matching the budget Rapala 126SP's demand despite a price nearly ten times higher. That combination of a strong rating, a meaningful review base, and active recent purchasing suggests buyers are choosing this knife deliberately rather than defaulting to it, even with far cheaper alternatives available in the same category.
