Our take on the Benchmade 18040S Water Series Fixed Blade

The Benchmade 18040S is a fixed-blade water knife built for hard use on boats and docks. Its sheepsfoot blade in CPM-MagnaCut steel at 60-62 HRC holds an edge well and resists corrosion, and the partial serrations make short work of line, rope and bait. The molded Sonar Gray sheath with a push-button release mounts on a belt, pack or boat. It suits anglers, sailors and anyone who needs a tough, easy-to-clean blade in a wet environment. Against folding water knives it trades pocketability for strength and simpler cleaning.

Questions and answers

What is the 18040S best used for?
Cutting line, rope and bait on boats, plus general hard-use utility on the water. The sheepsfoot shape and partial serrations are aimed at those jobs.
How does CPM-MagnaCut hold up in saltwater?
MagnaCut is a highly stainless, corrosion-resistant steel, which suits wet, salty use. Rinse and dry it after saltwater exposure to keep it in shape.
Does it come with a sheath?
Yes. It ships with a molded Sonar Gray sheath that mounts on a belt, pack or boat and uses a push-button retention release.
How does it compare with a folding water knife?
A fixed blade is stronger, simpler to clean and faster to deploy, but it is bulkier to carry. A folder is more pocketable but has more places for salt and grime to collect.
Is the blade serrated?
It is partially serrated. The serrations help on rope and bait, while the plain section handles cleaner slicing.
Where is the Benchmade 18040S Water Series Fixed Blade cheapest?
At West Marine, for $224.99, as of our latest check.
