Benchmade Fishcrafter 5" Knife | 18030

Finesse Meets Force for Precision Filleting

The Benchmade Fishcrafter 5" Knife | 18030 is purpose-built for anglers who value clean cuts and confident control. Tuned specifically for smaller freshwater species like crappie, perch, and bluegill, this knife blends flexibility with strength—delivering effortless fillets without tearing or hesitation. It’s a compact, field-ready blade designed to make quick, accurate work of every fish.

Flexible MagnaCut Performance

At the heart of the Fishcrafter is a flexible trailing-point blade crafted from premium MagnaCut® stainless steel. Sharpened with Benchmade’s SelectEdge® technology, it glides through delicate flesh with razor precision while maintaining toughness and corrosion resistance. The blade’s controlled flex allows smooth, precise strokes that hug the bone—ideal for finesse filleting where accuracy matters most.

Secure Grip in Wet Conditions

A textured Santoprene® handle in Depth Blue provides exceptional grip even when wet, slimy, or cold. Ergonomically shaped for control without fatigue, the handle keeps the knife planted in hand during fast-paced processing. Lightweight and balanced, the Fishcrafter is easy to maneuver, while the molded sheath protects the blade for safe transport and storage between spots.
