The White River Hunter is a premium fixed blade built for hunters, outdoorsmen, and anyone who expects reliable performance from their gear in demanding field conditions. Proudly made in the USA by White River Knife & Tool, it blends refined craftsmanship with rugged functionality, delivering a dependable cutting tool designed for real-world use in the wild.
Its 3.5-inch drop point blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a modern super steel known for its exceptional edge retention, outstanding toughness, and superior corrosion resistance. This makes it an ideal choice for extended outdoor use where consistency and durability matter most. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, refined look while reducing glare and enhancing corrosion resistance. The drop point geometry provides a strong, controllable tip and a full belly that excels at skinning, slicing, and precision field processing tasks.
Built on full tang construction, the Hunter runs solidly through its 8.25-inch overall length, ensuring maximum strength and reliability under heavy use. The .13-inch blade thickness offers a confident balance between durability and cutting efficiency, while the 5.6-ounce weight keeps it light enough for extended carry without sacrificing stability or performance in hand.
The handle is crafted from black and OD green linen Micarta, delivering a rugged, layered appearance with exceptional grip characteristics. The textured surface provides secure handling in wet, dry, or cold conditions, while the ergonomic shaping ensures comfort and control during prolonged field use. Over time, the Micarta develops additional character while maintaining its dependable performance in harsh environments. A lanyard hole at the rear of the handle adds practical carry and customization options.
A precision-molded black Kydex sheath is included, offering secure retention and fast access when needed. The integrated belt clip allows for versatile carry positioning, keeping the knife close at hand whether on a belt or attached to gear. The sheath system is built for dependable retention and quick deployment in the field.
