The White River Hunter is a purpose-built fixed blade designed for hunters, outdoorsmen, and anyone who values precision craftsmanship paired with dependable field performance. Made in the USA by White River Knife & Tool, it brings together premium materials, clean execution, and rugged practicality in a knife that’s ready for serious outdoor work.
Its 3.5-inch drop point blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a top-tier modern steel known for its exceptional edge retention, impressive toughness, and outstanding corrosion resistance. This combination makes it especially well-suited for demanding field use where reliability matters most. The satin finish provides a refined, low-reflection surface while adding a layer of protection against wear and the elements. The drop point profile offers excellent control with a strong, reinforced tip and a generous belly, making it ideal for skinning, slicing, and detailed processing tasks where precision is essential.
Full tang construction runs through the entire 8.25-inch length of the knife, delivering strength and stability you can trust in hard-use situations. With a .13-inch blade thickness, it maintains a strong balance between durability and cutting efficiency. At just 5.6 ounces, it carries light in the hand while still feeling solid and capable during extended use in the field.
The handle is built from natural burlap Micarta, a material known for its outstanding grip and long-term durability. The textured, organic appearance gives each knife a distinct character while improving traction in wet or dry conditions. It remains secure and comfortable through extended tasks, even when exposed to moisture or cold. A lanyard hole at the end of the handle adds additional carry and customization options for field readiness.
A precision-molded black Kydex sheath is included for secure retention and reliable carry. The integrated belt clip allows for flexible positioning, keeping the knife accessible and ready whether worn on gear, pack, or belt. The system is built for fast deployment and dependable protection in outdoor environments.
