CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for demanding field use and refined with time-tested design, the ESEE Belt Knife is a dependable fixed blade rooted in the traditional Canadian Belt Knife pattern. Designed by James Gibson and crafted in the USA by White River Knives, this compact workhorse is purpose-built for utility, game processing, camp chores, and countless other backcountry tasks. Whether you're deep in the wilderness or handling everyday carry needs, it delivers the reliability and cutting performance serious users expect from the ESEE name.
The Belt Knife measures 7.25 inches overall with a stout 2.8-inch cutting edge and a 0.13-inch blade thickness. It's made from tough MagnaCut stainless steel, hardened to 62-63 HRC, offering an ideal balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Weighing just 5.9 ounces (or 4.1 ounces without the included sheath), it strikes a perfect balance between portability and in-hand control.
The handle features sculpted burlap Micarta scales that offer a warm, natural feel and excellent grip even in wet or cold conditions. A custom leather pouch sheath with belt loop rounds out the package, giving it a classic field carry option with modern performance.
Built to handle hard use in unpredictable environments, this knife is everything a compact outdoor blade should be: straightforward, overbuilt, and field-proven.
