Rakekniven Peak (71°54′S 7°17′E) is a peak, 2,365 m, at the north end of Trollslottet Mountain in the Filchner Mountains, Queen Maud Land. The peak was plotted from surveys and air photos by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1900–60) and named Rakekniven (the razor) after its distinctive shape. It is an almost vertical granite spur protruding from the mountains, and was climbed by famous mountaineer Alex Lowe in 1996.
