SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bark River Highland Special Fixed Knife is crafted for outdoorsmen who demand a combination of strength, precision, and reliability in a larger, full-featured fixed blade. Measuring 7.88 inches overall, it offers the reach and cutting power needed for serious outdoor tasks while remaining balanced and easy to handle. Whether you’re hunting, bushcrafting, or performing camp chores, the Highland Special is built to excel in challenging conditions and provide years of dependable service.
At its core, the knife features a 4-inch satin-finished A2 tool steel drop point blade. A2 steel is celebrated for its toughness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening, making it a favorite among professionals and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Bark River’s meticulous heat treatment process enhances the steel’s natural qualities, delivering a blade that holds a sharp edge under extended use and stands up to demanding tasks without fail. The drop point design provides a strong, controllable tip for precision work while the broad, curved belly excels at slicing and carving, giving you versatile performance in a compact package.
The handle is constructed from green linen Micarta, a durable and stable material that offers excellent grip even in wet or slippery conditions. The textured surface and ergonomic contours provide comfort during extended use, while the full-tang construction ensures unmatched strength from tip to pommel. A lanyard hole at the handle’s base adds versatility, allowing you to tether the knife or attach it securely to your gear for quick access in the field.
Accompanying the Highland Special is a hand-fitted brown leather belt sheath that combines ruggedness with refined craftsmanship. Designed to hold the knife securely while allowing for fast, easy deployment, the sheath will age gracefully over time, developing a patina that reflects the adventures and work done with this knife.
Built for performance and reliability, the Bark River Highland Special Fixed Knife stands ready for any task the outdoors throws at it. Its combination of quality steel, durable handle material, and expert construction makes it a trusted companion in the field and at camp. Rugged, precise, and built for serious outdoor work—the Bark River Highland Special delivers unmatched performance. Available at SMKW.
