Product Description

The Benchmade Fishcrafter 18030 is a purpose-built fishing fixed blade — a 5-inch CPM MagnaCut trailing point in a rubber-overmolded Santoprene handle, designed for anglers who want a fish processing knife that won't corrode in the salt, gut acids, and constant moisture exposure of serious fishing use.

The blade is CPM MagnaCut, Benchmade's choice when corrosion resistance and edge retention both matter in the same knife. CPM MagnaCut outperforms conventional fishing knife stainless — it maintains its edge through extended fish cleaning sessions, resists the combination of saltwater and organic acids that accelerates corrosion on standard alloys, and sharpens easily at the end of a long day on the water. 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 blue Santoprene handle is rubber-overmolded for a positive grip with wet or slimy hands — it won't slip when it matters. The included sheath protects the edge and allows safe belt or tackle box carry between uses.

Ships same or next business day from Knifeworks in Columbia, Louisiana.
