The Bark River Sahara Fixed Blade Knife in Black is a rugged, no-nonsense field knife built for dependable performance in demanding outdoor conditions. Designed with a clean, functional profile, the Sahara delivers the balance and control needed for serious work while remaining compact enough for comfortable, all-day carry. It’s a practical choice for camp chores, utility cutting, and general outdoor tasks where reliability matters more than flash.
At the heart of the Sahara is a 5" clip point blade crafted from A2 tool steel. A2 is a proven steel favored by outdoorsmen for its toughness, stability, and ease of sharpening in the field. It holds a working edge well and resists chipping under hard use, making it well suited for real-world cutting tasks. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, professional look while reducing glare and drag during cutting. The clip point profile provides a sharp, controllable tip for piercing and detail work, along with a long cutting edge that handles slicing and utility chores with confidence.
Full tang construction ensures the Sahara is built to take abuse. The blade and tang extend through the entire handle, creating solid balance and a confident feel when pressure is applied. The handle is made from black micarta, offering a secure, non-slip grip in wet, dry, or cold conditions. Micarta’s durability and textured surface make it a reliable choice for hard-use knives, and the black color gives the Sahara a clean, understated appearance. A lanyard hole at the rear adds carry and retention options, allowing you to customize how the knife rides or secures in use.
Measuring 9.6" overall, the Sahara strikes a practical balance between size and usability. It’s large enough to handle demanding tasks without feeling bulky or unwieldy. The included leather belt loop sheath provides secure, traditional carry and protects the knife when not in use, keeping it readily accessible in the field.
The Bark River Sahara in Black is built for users who want a dependable fixed blade they can rely on day after day. It combines proven materials, thoughtful design, and Bark River craftsmanship into a knife that’s ready for real work.
