I've had a couple Rapalas for over 30 years, not going to say they are anything special, but they work well enough that after using them on probably over a thousand fish I've never seriously concidered upgrading. A few swipes on a steel after each use and minor touch ups with a fine stone a couple times a year keep them shaving sharp.
They are still made by Marttiini in Finland, yes.
