Product Description
The Benchmade Fishcrafter is a purpose-built fish processing knife — a 5-inch trailing point that won't corrode in the salt, gut acids, and constant moisture exposure of serious fishing use.
Ground from CPM MagnaCut and finished satin, the blade outperforms conventional fishing knife stainless, maintaining its edge through extended fish cleaning sessions while resisting the combination of saltwater and organic acids that accelerates corrosion on standard alloys. The trailing point profile sweeps the tip above the centerline, concentrating the cutting edge in the belly for the long, smooth strokes that fillet and skin fish efficiently without the tip digging. The Depth Blue Santoprene handle is rubber-overmolded for a positive grip with wet or slimy hands.
- Blade: CPM MagnaCut, satin trailing point, hollow grind — holds an edge through extended fish cleaning sessions, resists saltwater and gut acid corrosion
- Handle: Depth Blue Santoprene, rubber-overmolded — positive grip with wet or slimy hands, won't slip during processing
- Construction: Fixed blade, full-tang stability for fish processing tasks — no folding mechanism
- Carry: 2.58 oz, includes Sonar Gray injection molded polymer sheath for edge protection and safe carry
Anglers who fillet and clean fish regularly and want a blade that resists saltwater corrosion. Buyers who want CPM MagnaCut's edge retention on a dedicated fishing knife instead of a general-purpose fixed blade. Anyone who wants a rubber-grip handle built for wet, slippery conditions.
