The Fishcrafter™: Built for the Water, Engineered for the Catch

The Fishcrafter™ is Benchmade's dedicated fishing knife, a fixed blade precision-engineered for the full range of on-the-water tasks, from delicate finesse work on small panfish to breaking down larger saltwater species. Slim, agile, and built to handle wet, demanding conditions without missing a cut. Whether you're on a boat at dawn, streamside after a long wade, or cleaning your catch at the end of the day, the Fishcrafter™ is the knife that earns its place in every angler's kit, and stays there.

Designed for Every Task and Every Catch

Every Fishcrafter™ starts with CPM MagnaCut® Stainless Steel hardened to 60-62 HRC; a next-generation blade steel that outperforms most stainless in edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It stays sharper longer, so you spend more time fishing and less time sharpening. The trailing-point blade geometry follows bone effortlessly, and SelectEdge® technology means a razor-sharp edge straight out of the sheath. A textured Santoprene® handle locks in grip even when wet, while the molded sheath with drain hole and alternative mounting options keeps your blade protected and ready between uses.

The family comes in three sizes to match the fish you're after. The 5" Fishcrafter™ is tuned for small species like crappie, perch, and bluegill — lightweight and highly flexible for the precision and control where finesse matters most. The 7" Fishcrafter™ is the versatile all-rounder, with medium flex that balances filleting, deboning, and cleaning across a wide range of small to medium species. And the 9" Fishcrafter™ is built for medium to large fish, its long straight edge delivers smooth, clean strokes, while the upswept tip and finger guard with jimping keep every push-cut controlled and precise.
