SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bark River Woodland Special Fixed Knife is built for those who demand reliability in the field and precision in hand. Compact, sturdy, and refined, this knife represents the perfect balance of size, strength, and cutting performance. With an overall length of 6.88 inches, it’s compact enough for easy carry while offering enough blade to handle tough outdoor tasks with confidence. Whether you’re skinning game, crafting camp tools, or preparing food fireside, the Woodland Special handles each task with smooth, predictable control.
At its core lies a 3-inch satin-finished A2 tool steel blade—a time-tested, high-carbon steel known for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and ease of sharpening. Bark River’s heat treatment process brings out the best in A2, ensuring the edge stays keen through demanding use. The drop point design enhances control, making it ideal for detailed cutting or field dressing without sacrificing strength at the tip. Every cut feels clean, deliberate, and efficient.
The black canvas Micarta handle offers both style and substance. Smoothly contoured for comfort, it provides a confident grip even when wet or cold. Micarta’s layered construction ensures long-term durability, resisting cracking, warping, and environmental wear. The full-tang construction delivers strength from tip to pommel, giving you complete confidence that this knife can take whatever the trail throws at it. A lanyard hole adds a touch of practicality, allowing for added security during use or easy attachment to your gear.
To complete the package, the Woodland Special comes with a hand-fitted brown leather belt sheath. The sheath carries the same level of craftsmanship as the knife itself—rugged yet refined, designed for secure carry and quick access. It’s a sheath that will age beautifully with time and use, developing character that reflects the miles you’ve traveled and the work you’ve done.
The Bark River Woodland Special isn’t a flashy knife—it’s a dependable companion built for serious outdoorsmen, hunters, and craftsmen who appreciate purpose-driven design and timeless materials. It’s a tool that feels at home in the wilderness, at camp, or on the workbench, ready for any task that calls for a sharp edge and steady hand. Tough, compact, and built for the backcountry—the Bark River Woodland Special delivers precision and power in a timeless fixed-blade design. Available at SMKW.
