Benchmade kitchen knives bring the same Oregon manufacturing and premium steel behind the company's folders to the cutting board and the camp stove. The culinary line runs CPM 154 throughout, a powder stainless that takes a fine edge, holds it through daily board work, and stands up to acidic ingredients. Handles come in Maple Valley Richlite, a paper composite that develops a warm patina with use, or OD green G10 with black DLC blades. Every piece is made in the USA and backed by the same lifetime LifeSharp service as the rest of the Benchmade knives catalog.
The Station Knife is the do-everything 6 inch prep knife that most people start with, in Maple Valley Richlite or a limited edition camo Cerakote build. For a full size blade, the 8 inch Chef Knife runs an 8.17 inch CPM 154 drop point in satin over Richlite or black DLC over OD green G10, with a Boltaron blade guard.
The Wildcoast is a 6.83 inch clip point utility knife built for cooking outdoors or at home, with a broad heel for chopping and a fine taper toward the tip for detail slicing. The True Paring handles peeling and trimming with a 4.12 inch clip point. The 3 Piece Travel Set pairs the Wildcoast and True Paring with the Meatcrafter, each with its own blade cover, a complete kit for a cabin, camper, or boat.
CPM 154 keeps a fine edge longer than typical kitchen stainless, and when it finally slows down, LifeSharp covers resharpening, cleaning, and adjustment free for the life of the knife. Most cutlery brands stop helping at the register. Keep them out of the dishwasher, and our kitchen knife buying and care guide covers the rest. The Fishcrafter fillet knives round out the line for anglers, and our full kitchen knives collection holds every culinary brand we carry. Benchmade kitchen knives are also a popular holiday gift, so order early if one needs to be under the tree.
