SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bark River Little Creek Fixed Blade Knife in Natural Micarta proves that serious performance doesn’t require a large profile. Built as a compact, precision-oriented fixed blade, the Little Creek excels at fine cutting tasks where control matters most. Whether it’s opening packages at camp, carving notches, prepping food, or handling everyday utility work, this knife delivers dependable performance in a lightweight, easy-to-carry package.
The 2.5" drop point blade is crafted from CPM Cru-Wear steel, a premium tool steel known for its outstanding edge retention, toughness, and wear resistance. It’s a steel that thrives under real use, holding a keen edge through repeated cutting while resisting chipping and fatigue. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, practical look and helps reduce glare and friction during use. With its drop point profile, the blade offers excellent tip control and a strong spine, making it ideal for detailed work without sacrificing durability.
Full tang construction ensures strength and stability well beyond what its size might suggest. From blade to handle, the Little Creek is built as a single solid piece, delivering confidence in hand when pressure is applied. The handle scales are made from natural micarta, providing a warm, organic appearance that pairs well with its no-nonsense design. Micarta offers a secure grip even in wet or slippery conditions, and it becomes more tactile as it ages and sees use. A lanyard hole at the rear adds carry and retention options, enhancing versatility for neck carry, pocket carry, or pack attachment.
At just 5.5" overall and weighing only 1.65 ounces, the Little Creek is exceptionally light and compact. It disappears on the belt or in a pack, making it a go-to blade you won’t hesitate to carry every day. The included leather belt loop sheath offers secure retention and classic style, keeping the knife protected while allowing quick access when needed.
The Bark River Little Creek is built for users who value precision, craftsmanship, and reliability in a small fixed blade. It’s not designed to replace a larger camp knife, but it doesn’t try to. Instead, it shines as a refined, capable tool that’s always ready for the tasks that matter most.
