A balance of raw power and refined precision, the 4070-02 Wildcoast™ Knife is the essential blade for every outdoor chef. With its robust clip-point CPM-154 stainless steel blade featuring a rugged stonewash finish, this knife thrives in the wild—delivering effortless cuts whether at the water’s edge or deep in the backcountry. SelectEdge® technology ensures unparalleled sharpness, while the Maple Valley Richlite handle offers a durable, comfortable grip built for adventure. Designed for those who cook without limits, this is the knife that goes wherever the wild takes you. Over time, Richlite®, a paper composite material, will develop a natural patina, altering the original color of the material. "Patina” is a natural occurrence in the product that can either darken or lighten depending on exposure to light.

MEET THE Wildcoast™

Designed with purpose and built to last, the Wildcoast™ sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by our promise that it will be yours, for life.

This powder-metal version of conventional 154CM steel has a much finer microstructure with smaller carbide particles than its counterpart, resulting in improved toughness and strength.

HANDLE

Richlite/G10

Used as a lightweight construction material for decades, Richlite is a durable, multi-layer fibrous paper composite that can be dyed in a wide array of colors.

OPENING ACTION

Fixed

These knives do not fold and typically include a sheath to protect the edge.

Specifications

HOW IT'S MADE

Every Benchmade knife begins with high-grade steel, laser-cut for precision and strength. Each blade is meticulously ground, beveled, and finished to exacting standards, ensuring exceptional performance and durability. Our handles are milled and machined in-house to the tightest tolerances, then hand-assembled and sharpened by expert technicians. With over thirty years of manufacturing excellence behind every edge, our knives are proudly crafted in our state-of-the-art facility in Oregon City, Oregon.

USE & CARE

Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:

• Prevent Rust:  All steels, regardless of grade or price, can eventually rust. To avoid corrosion, always keep your knife clean, dry, and lightly lubricated. If rust or spotting appears, a quality semi-chrome metal polish can usually restore the finish.

• Hand-Wash Only:  Always hand-wash your knife with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly.

• Use as Intended:  Benchmade knives are precision cutting tools. Do not use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch—unless specifically designed for those functions.

• Sharpen with Care:  If sharpening at home, avoid grinding wheels and high-speed machinery, as they can damage the blade. Use appropriate hand-sharpening methods for best results.

• Tighten Hardware:  Over time, handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may loosen. Use T6 and T10 Torx drivers for adjustments and apply a small amount of releasable thread-locker to maintain secure fittings.
