FISHCRAFTER 5”

Advertisement

Every angler has a favourite fillet knife. The Benchmade Fishcrafter 5″ has all the makings of becoming that one. Designed specifically for processing fish, the Fishcrafter pairs a flexible 5-inch blade with CPM MagnaCut steel—a “super steel” that has a rare combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. That’s a big advantage for a knife that spends its life around water, fish slime, scales, and salt.

The slim, flexible blade makes quick work of everything from walleye and trout to larger pike and salmon, while the textured Santoprene handle maintains a secure grip even when wet. Benchmade also includes a molded sheath that protects the edge and makes transport easy.

For Canadian dads who spend their summers catching and cleaning fish, the Fishcrafter is a gift they’ll appreciate. It’s a premium tool built to last, and unlike most Father’s Day gifts, it’ll likely still be in use decades from now. And one day it’ll be passed down to their kids. Wink, wink.
