SHOP CASE KNIVESFeel the quiet certainty that comes from carrying a knife crafted with purpose. The White River Hunter Fixed Blade Black Burlap 3.5in Plain SW Drop Point Knife is more than a cutting tool; it’s a dependable companion forged for the hunter who respects the land, the craftsman who values precision, and the outdoorsman who lives for the long miles between trailheads. Designed by Owen Baker Jr., this knife captures the balance between tradition and innovation, giving you a tool that blends American craftsmanship with modern performance. When the work is demanding and the window for error is small, you need a blade that answers with absolute reliability. This is that blade, built to match your determination every step of the way.
The White River Hunter was created to be the do-everything fixed blade for field, camp, and life in the wilderness. Its 3.5-inch CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel blade brings together edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance in a way few steels can match. The drop point profile, flat grind, and stonewashed finish give you predictable control whether you're dressing game, slicing cordage, or making fine cuts on detailed tasks. Its 62-64 HRC hardness ensures the blade stays sharp long after lesser steels fail, giving serious hunters and outdoorsmen the confidence to push farther.
The handle is shaped for long-term comfort, carved into a subtle recurve that rests naturally in the hand. Made from black burlap Micarta, it provides a sure grip, wet or dry, and offers the durability needed for a lifetime of use. Full-tang construction adds strength you can trust when batoning kindling or tackling heavier camp chores. The recessed finger choil enhances precision for close-quarters work, making it adaptable to everything from field dressing to fire prep.
At 8.25 inches overall and weighing just 4.3 ounces, the Hunter is light enough for all-day carry but substantial enough for serious tasks. It comes with a multi-position Kydex sheath designed for secure, customizable carry on your belt or pack. Every detail, from the blade geometry to the ergonomic contours, was built to deliver consistent performance in the field and to stand as a testament to American craftsmanship. This knife is 100 percent made in the USA and backed by a lifetime guarantee, ready to serve as a trusted partner on every expedition.
