When the catch is in the boat and it's time to get to work on smaller species, the Benchmade 18010 Fishcrafter is the knife serious anglers reach for. The 7" model sits squarely in the sweet spot for small to medium fish processing — long enough to handle trout, bass, walleye, and perch with a single smooth stroke, compact enough to give you full control through every detail of filleting, deboning, and cleaning. This is the Fishcrafter built for the lake angler, the river fisherman, and anyone who brings home fish worth treating right.

Part of Benchmade's Water Series, the 18010 is purpose-built for the harsh realities of the aquatic environment. The 7" trailing point blade is crafted from CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel (60-62 HRC) — one of the most advanced blade steels available, engineered to eliminate chromium carbides from the microstructure for a combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance that far surpasses traditional fillet knife steels. Benchmade's SelectEdge technology produces a razor-sharp, ultra-fine edge geometry specifically optimized for the powerful push-cutting and effortlessly smooth filleting that serious anglers demand. The thin 0.090" blade profile with medium flex allows the blade to hug the backbone and skin through each fish with minimal waste and maximum efficiency.

The Depth Blue Santoprene handle is textured for a secure, confident grip in the wettest conditions — whether you're working dockside, streamside, or in a rocking boat. Full tang construction ensures exceptional strength and balance throughout. The included Sonar Gray injection-molded sheath features two side slits for alternative mounting options and a drainage hole at the tip to protect the blade between uses. At just 2.84 oz and 11.89" overall, the 18010 is compact, lightweight, and built to go wherever the fish are. Proudly made in the USA and backed by Benchmade's LifeSharp lifetime sharpening service.
