Anglers who fillet fish often and want a dedicated blade in a common size, plus buyers who want to see a large volume of recent purchases and reviews before trusting an unfamiliar knife brand.
Skip if
Skip it if you just need a basic knife for occasional trips, since the Rapala 126SP covers that job at $10.49, or if a 9 inch stainless blade like the Kershaw 1259X at $20.51 fits your budget better.

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
Standing at the cleaning table after a good day on the water, the last thing you want is a fillet knife that flexes in the wrong spot or a handle that goes slick once it's wet. The KastKing 110VFKOR Fillet Knife is built around a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) handle meant to grip even when your hands are covered in fish slime, and it comes in an orange finish that is hard to lose in a tackle bag.
The knife measures 14.56 inches overall and is offered in 7 inch and 9 inch blade sizes, so anglers can match the blade length to the fish they typically clean, from panfish to larger saltwater species. It ships as a single unit for $42.49, positioning it above budget options like the Rapala 126SP at $10.49 but below specialty steel like the Dalstrong Scorpion Series.
At 570 reviews and a 4.3 star average, the 110VFKOR has built a review base larger than the Rapala BP136SH's 264 and the Opinel's 277, though it trails the Kershaw 1259X's 1,500 reviews and 4.6 stars. Its 500+ bought last month figure is the highest of any fillet knife in this comparison set, a sign that current demand favors this model over older, cheaper alternatives.
Pros
- 500+ units bought last month, the highest demand signal among the fillet knives compared here
- 4.3 star average across 570 reviews gives it a large, established feedback base
- TPE handle construction designed to stay grippy when wet
- Available in 7 inch and 9 inch blade lengths to match different fish sizes
- Bright orange color makes it easy to spot in a tackle bag or on a boat deck
- In stock at $42.49, priced between budget stainless knives and premium steel models
Cons
- At $42.49 it costs roughly four times the $10.49 Rapala 126SP
- 570 reviews is solid but well short of the Kershaw 1259X's 1,500
- 4.3 star average trails the 4.6 stars posted by both the Opinel and the Kershaw
- TPE is a synthetic handle material, not the wood or co-polymer some anglers prefer
- Ships as a single 1 count unit with no stated sheath in the listed specs

Performance notes
The 14.56 inch overall length on the 110VFKOR reflects a knife built for reach as much as control, and the 7 inch and 9 inch blade options let a buyer size the tool to the fish they clean most, shorter for trout and panfish, longer for salmon or saltwater species. A TPE handle is a rubber-like polymer that manufacturers use specifically because it resists getting slippery when coated in water or fish oil, which matters more for a fillet knife than almost any other blade in a tackle bag. The orange color is a practical choice too, since a dropped fillet knife is both a safety issue and a real loss at this price, and a bright handle is easier to spot on a deck or in grass. At one count per package, this is a single dedicated blade rather than a multi piece kit, so anyone wanting a spare or a paired boning knife needs to look elsewhere.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average across 570 reviews puts the 110VFKOR in solid territory, not the top of this fillet knife group but well above a niche or unproven product. What stands out is the 500+ bought last month figure, which is higher than every other fillet knife in this comparison, including the long-running Kershaw 1259X at 50+ and the Rapala 126SP at 100+. That combination of a large review base and strong recent purchase volume suggests steady, current demand rather than a one time spike. The 4.3 average sitting below the 4.5 to 4.6 stars posted by the Rapala and Kershaw models suggests satisfaction is good but not universal, which is typical for a mid priced knife competing against both cheaper and pricier alternatives.

Frequently asked questions
What size fillet knife blade should I choose from the 110VFKOR?
The KastKing 110VFKOR is offered in 7 inch and 9 inch blade sizes. The 7 inch option suits smaller panfish and trout, while the 9 inch blade gives more reach for larger fish like salmon or saltwater species, so match the length to the fish you clean most often.
Is the KastKing 110VFKOR worth $42.49 compared to cheaper fillet knives?
At $42.49 it costs more than the Rapala 126SP at $10.49, but its 500+ bought last month figure and 570 reviews at 4.3 stars show it has earned steady demand at that price. If budget matters most, the Rapala is the cheaper option, but current buying activity favors the KastKing.
What is the handle material on the KastKing 110VFKOR made of?
The handle is made from thermoplastic elastomer, listed as TPE in the specs. This is a synthetic rubber-like material chosen for grip retention when wet, which is a common approach on fillet knives meant for use around water and fish slime rather than a dry kitchen counter.
