SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bark River Sahara Fixed Blade Knife with Bocote Wood handle is a rugged, versatile field knife designed for dependable performance and classic styling. Built for serious outdoor use, it combines proven materials with thoughtful craftsmanship to deliver a knife that performs reliably in demanding conditions while offering a touch of natural elegance. The Sahara is ideal for camp chores, slicing, carving, and general utility work, providing confidence and control with every cut.
At the heart of the Sahara is a 5" clip point blade crafted from A2 tool steel. Known for its toughness, stability, and ease of sharpening in the field, A2 steel holds a strong working edge and resists chipping under hard use. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, professional look, reduces glare, and allows smooth, efficient cutting. The clip point profile provides a precise, controllable tip for piercing and detail work while offering a long, practical cutting edge for slicing and utility tasks, making it versatile enough for a wide range of outdoor applications.
Full tang construction ensures the Sahara is as durable as it is capable. The tang extends through the entire handle, providing excellent balance and a solid feel in hand. The handle is made from Bocote Wood, a dense, richly grained hardwood known for both beauty and durability. Bocote offers a secure grip and a natural warmth in hand, giving the knife a premium look without sacrificing rugged functionality. Its smooth yet tactile surface ensures comfortable handling, and the wood’s unique grain patterns make each knife distinct.
Measuring 9.6" overall and weighing 7.5 ounces, the Sahara has a substantial, well-balanced feel that allows confident control during demanding tasks. It’s large enough for serious work but remains manageable for everyday outdoor use. The included leather belt loop sheath provides secure, accessible carry while protecting the knife when not in use. Its traditional styling complements the natural elegance of the Bocote handle and the functional, field-ready design of the blade.
The Bark River Sahara with Bocote Wood handle is built for outdoorsmen who value a combination of durability, functionality, and classic craftsmanship. It’s a field-ready fixed blade that performs reliably while standing out with natural wood aesthetics.
