FLISSA 820909687863 Fillet Knife Review

Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers who want two blade lengths in one purchase, an 8 inch knife for mid-size fillets and a 10 inch for large saltwater or offshore catches, and who don't mind paying more for the pair and its PA6+TPE handles.
Skip if
Skip it if $69.99 is more than you want to spend on fillet knives, since the Rapala 126SP covers similar ground for $10.49 and the Kershaw 1259X for $20.51, both as single blades rather than a set.

Overview
Anglers who split time between smaller panfish trips and bigger saltwater outings often end up owning two or three fillet knives just to cover the range of fish sizes. The FLISSA 820909687863 packages that solution directly, shipping as a 2 count set with an 8 inch and a 10 inch blade in the same box.
The listed length spec of 8.8 inches lines up with the larger of the two blades, built from a PA6+TPE handle material and finished in black. That handle material is a plastic and elastomer blend rather than the co-polymer used on the Kershaw 1259X, though FLISSA does not publish a weight figure the way Rapala and Kershaw do.
At $69.99, this set costs more than three times the $20.51 Kershaw 1259X and nearly seven times the $10.49 Rapala 126SP, so the pricing only makes sense if a buyer actually wants two blade lengths rather than one. The numbers back up the value case even at that price: a 4.6 star average across 410 reviews and 500+ bought last month, well ahead of the Rapala 126SP's 100+ and the Kershaw 1259X's 50+.
Pros
- 2 count set covers both an 8 inch and a 10 inch blade for different fish sizes
- 4.6 star rating across 410 reviews matches the top-rated Kershaw 1259X
- 500+ bought last month far outpaces the Rapala 126SP's 100+ and Kershaw 1259X's 50+
- PA6+TPE handle material is built for a secure, non-slip grip
- Black finish and two-knife design suit anglers who fillet a range of fish sizes
Cons
- At $69.99, it costs more than three times the Kershaw 1259X's $20.51
- No listed weight specs, unlike the Rapala 126SP (2.4 ounces) or Kershaw 1259X (3.5 ounces)
- Two knives in one package means less clarity on individual blade specs beyond the 8.8 inch listing
- Higher price only pays off for anglers who actually need two blade lengths

Performance notes
An 8 inch and a 10 inch blade cover distinctly different jobs. The shorter of the pair handles panfish, trout, and mid-size catches with more control, while the 10 inch blade is built for long, single-pass cuts on larger saltwater fish where a short blade would require multiple strokes. The 8.8 inch length spec appears to describe the larger blade in the set, close to the 9 inch Kershaw 1259X.
PA6+TPE construction combines a rigid nylon-based plastic with a softer elastomer, a common approach for building a grip that stays secure even when hands are wet, though it is a different material path than the co-polymer handle on the Kershaw 1259X. Shipping as a 2 count set also means storage for two blades rather than one, which is worth planning for given no sheath feature is listed here.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average across 410 reviews puts the FLISSA 820909687863 in the same rating tier as the Kershaw 1259X, which holds 4.6 stars over a much larger 1,500 reviews. What stands out is recent demand: 500+ bought last month is five times the Rapala 126SP's 100+ and ten times the Kershaw 1259X's 50+. For a set priced at $69.99, that level of purchase volume alongside a strong rating suggests buyers are finding the two-blade value proposition worth the higher cost rather than treating it as a one-time impulse buy they later regret.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the FLISSA fillet knife set cost so much more than the Rapala or Kershaw?
It ships as a 2 count set with an 8 inch and a 10 inch blade rather than a single knife, which explains why the $69.99 price is more than three times the $20.51 Kershaw 1259X and nearly seven times the $10.49 Rapala 126SP.
What is the handle made of?
The listed material is PA6+TPE, a nylon and elastomer blend, finished in black. That differs from the co-polymer handle on the Kershaw 1259X, though neither listing provides a side by side grip comparison beyond the material name, so anglers weighing feel and durability are working from spec sheets rather than a documented head to head.
Is demand strong for this set?
Yes. It shows 500+ bought last month, well above the Rapala 126SP's 100+ and the Kershaw 1259X's 50+, alongside a 4.6 star rating across 410 reviews, suggesting steady buyer satisfaction at this higher price point rather than a slow-moving, overpriced listing that buyers are avoiding.
