Benchmade's Fishcrafter is an essential tool for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts. Designed for precision and ease of processing small to medium-sized fish, this filleting knife is a testament to Benchmade's commitment to quality.

The Fishcrafter features a razor-sharp SelectEdge blade expertly crafted from CPM MagnaCut steel. This particular steel provides the perfect balance of corrosion resistance and durability, making it ideal for the rigors of fishing. The thin profile of the blade, with a medium flex, allows for effective filleting, boning and cleaning. The knife comes with a molded Sonar Gray sheath designed with alternative mounting options and a small hole in the tip for drainage. Part of Benchmade's Water Class, the Fishcrafter is a reliable companion for your fishing adventures.

On December 9, 1942, during the Second World War, KA-BAR presented a knife to the United States Marine Corps hoping it would become the standard weapon. In collaboration with the Marine Supply Department, the project was revised, and production began on an improved combat and utility knife.

During the war, USMC KA-BAR knives gained such recognition for their quality and abundance that "KABAR" became the common name. It was adopted by the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Underwater Demolition Teams. Years later, many KA-BAR knives were reactivated in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2019, KA-Bar partnered with Spartan Blades to form Pineland Cutlery. CEO John Stitt aimed to create a "KA-BAR" with improved strength, robustness, and corrosion resistance. During development, metallurgist Larrin Thomas identified CPM MagnaCut® steel with the desired qualities.

CPM MagnaCut® is a sintered high-carbon steel produced by Crucible Industries and specifically designed for blades. Spartan Blades developed the Spartan-KA-BAR using CNC machining, cryogenic treatment, and PVD coatings.
