Full Specifications

A balance of raw power and refined precision, the 4070-02 Wildcoast™ Knife is the essential blade for every outdoor chef. With its robust clip-point CPM-154 stainless steel blade featuring a rugged stonewash finish, this knife thrives in the wild—delivering effortless cuts whether at the water’s edge or deep in the backcountry. SelectEdge® technology ensures unparalleled sharpness, while the Maple Valley Richlite handle offers a durable, comfortable grip built for adventure. Designed for those who cook without limits, this is the knife that goes wherever the wild takes you. Over time, Richlite®, a paper composite material, will develop a natural patina, altering the original color of the material. "Patina” is a natural occurrence in the product that can either darken or lighten depending on exposure to light.

Frequently Asked Questions

What unique design elements define the Benchmade 4070-02 Wildcoast™? +

The Wildcoast™ sits at the intersection of a high-end chef's petty knife and a rugged camp knife. Its 7" clip-point blade offers the long reach of a utility knife, while the acute tip may be used for more precise work. A Maple Valley Richlite® and G10 handle rounds it out with durability and comfort suited for outdoor use.

Who is the 4070-02 Wildcoast™ designed for? +

The Wildcoast™ is built for chefs, camp cooks, grillers, overlanders, and backcountry guides who need a high-performing, versatile, and packable knife for a wide range of cooking tasks. Its long clip-point blade offers a balance of precision and cutting reach, while the full-length rocker profile and SelectEdge® geometry support efficient food preparation, from trimming and slicing meat and vegetables to dicing onions to more demanding outdoor and backyard cooking prep.

Why does the 4070-02 Wildcoast™ use a clip-point blade profile for a kitchen/camp knife? +

The clip-point profile combines a fine, controllable tip with a long, rocking cutting edge, making it well suited for tasks that involve repeated or rhythmic cutting, like dicing tomatoes or mincing garlic, or for long push cuts, like trimming meat or slicing vegetables. That versatility is part of what makes the knife effective across both indoor and outdoor cooking tasks.

What are the benefits of CPM® 154 stainless steel on the Wildcoast™? +

CPM® 154 stainless steel provides a strong balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance, both valuable for a culinary knife regularly exposed to food, moisture, and outdoor environments. On the Wildcoast™, it is hardened to 58–61 HRC and paired with Benchmade’s SelectEdge® sharpening for long-lasting, ultra-fine cutting performance. Benchmade also uses CPM® 154 across its cutlery lineup for its combination of toughness and edge retention.

How does the 4070-02 Wildcoast™ differ from a traditional chef's knife? +

A traditional chef's knife is primarily designed for dedicated kitchen prep, while the Wildcoast™ is built as a more versatile culinary tool for cooks who want the reach of a chef's knife with the versatility and portability of a utility knife. Its material choices reflect that purpose: CPM® 154 stainless steel provides an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance; the rugged stonewash finish helps conceal signs of wear from frequent transport and use; and the Richlite® handle offers a durable, moisture-resistant alternative to other natural materials.

How does the Wildcoast™ differ from the Benchmade Station Knife? +

The Station Knife is designed as a compact, all-purpose kitchen utility tool, with a shorter, broader 6" blade and slightly curved belly that works especially well when prepping in limited spaces. The Wildcoast™ uses a longer 7" blade that provides greater cutting reach and a rocker profile that promotes rhythmic cutting, making it better suited for cooks who want a versatile culinary knife for a broader range of outdoor and backyard cutting board tasks.
