Overview
Rapala's RSB4 is a 4 inch fillet knife in stainless steel, sold with a sheath for storage. Rapala is a long established fishing brand, and this length sits at the shorter end of their fillet knife range, suited to panfish and smaller catches rather than large fish.
A 4 inch blade puts this knife in the panfish and trout category rather than the longer 6 to 9 inch blades used for salmon or larger saltwater species. The included sheath covers blade storage and basic transport safety.

Who it's for
