The White River M1 Caper is a compact fixed blade built for precision-driven field work, offering exceptional control, premium materials, and dependable performance in a lightweight design. Proudly made in the USA by White River Knife & Tool, it’s engineered for hunters, outdoorsmen, and anyone who needs a reliable tool for detailed cutting tasks like caping, field dressing, carving, and general outdoor utility.
Its 3-inch drop point blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a top-tier modern steel known for its outstanding edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and impressive toughness. Designed to perform in demanding environments, it maintains sharpness through extended use while standing up to moisture, dirt, and harsh outdoor conditions. The stonewash finish delivers a rugged, low-reflection surface that helps conceal scratches and wear, reinforcing its hard-use character. The drop point geometry provides a strong, controllable tip paired with a versatile edge ideal for both fine detail work and general slicing tasks.
Full tang construction runs through the entire 7-inch overall length, giving the knife a solid, balanced feel with dependable structural strength. The .13-inch blade thickness supports durability without sacrificing cutting efficiency, while the 5.6-ounce weight keeps it comfortable for extended carry in the field.
The handle is crafted from black and OD green linen Micarta, delivering a layered, tactical aesthetic with exceptional grip performance. The textured surface ensures confident handling in wet, dry, or cold conditions, while the ergonomic shaping enhances comfort and control during prolonged use. Over time, the Micarta develops additional character while maintaining its reliable traction and durability. A lanyard hole at the rear of the handle adds practical carry and retention options.
A precision-molded black Kydex sheath is included, offering secure retention and quick access when needed. The integrated belt clip allows for flexible carry positioning, keeping the knife accessible whether worn on a belt or attached to gear. The sheath system is built for durability, weather resistance, and consistent field performance.
