Not sure if the birch handled Rapala's are still made in Finland, but the Finnish Rapalas were decent knives for the money. Mora actually makes some pretty good fillet knives too for a decent price. If you want to spend more I'd go with a Grohman.
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.
