SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Battle Horse Knives Birch River Flat Ground Maple brings together precision, balance, and classic craftsmanship in a compact fixed-blade built for real field use. With a 3.00" cutting edge and an overall length of 6.875", it’s sized for control without feeling delicate, offering just the right amount of blade for processing small game, cleaning fish, carving wood, or handling all-purpose camp tasks. The O1 tool steel blade is 0.125" thick, taking a razor-keen edge while holding up through repeated, hard use. Its flat grind makes slicing clean and efficient, letting you work with accuracy instead of brute force.
Weighing only 3 oz, this knife carries feather-light yet performs with surprising authority. The smooth Maple handle gives it a warm, traditional feel that fits naturally in the hand. Its contours provide dependable purchase, while the full-tang construction ensures the blade stays solid and steady through fine cuts and detailed work. The natural grain of the Maple adds a touch of craftsmanship without compromising the rugged durability expected from a Battle Horse knife. A simple leather sheath rounds out the package, keeping the blade protected and ready for whatever the day brings.
Built in the USA, the Birch River Maple is purpose-driven and straightforward — no bulk, no gimmicks, just the reliable performance demanded by hunters, anglers, and outdoorsmen who need a trustworthy cutting tool at their side.
