Benchmade Fishcrafter 18020 – 9" CPM-MagnaCut Trailing Point Fillet Knife
The Benchmade Fishcrafter 18020 is a large 9" fillet knife built for filleting medium to large fish, where the extra length makes for smooth, clean cuts. Its CPM-MagnaCut trailing point blade uses SelectEdge sharpening, with a long flat edge for stability and an upswept tip that aids in deboning. The durable Depth Blue Santoprene handle adds a finger guard and ample jimping for a secure grip, and the Sonar Gray molded sheath keeps the blade protected. Benchmade builds the Fishcrafter 18020 in Oregon City, Oregon, and Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer.
