The White River M1 Caper is a compact fixed blade designed for precision work in the field, delivering exceptional control without sacrificing strength or reliability. Proudly made in the USA by White River Knife & Tool, it brings together premium materials and refined craftsmanship in a lightweight, purpose-driven design that excels at detailed outdoor tasks like caping, field dressing, carving, and general utility work.
Its 3-inch drop point blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for outstanding edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and impressive toughness. Built for demanding outdoor environments, it holds its edge through extended use while resisting wear from moisture and harsh conditions. The stonewash finish adds a rugged, low-maintenance appearance that helps conceal scratches and signs of use, making it ideal for hard field work. The drop point profile provides excellent control with a strong, precise tip and a versatile edge suited for both fine detail work and general cutting tasks.
Full tang construction runs through the entire 7-inch overall length of the knife, delivering a solid, balanced feel with dependable strength under pressure. The .13-inch blade thickness supports durability without compromising cutting efficiency, while the 5.6-ounce weight keeps it light enough for comfortable all-day carry in the field.
The handle is built from black burlap Micarta, a proven material valued for its durability, stability, and reliable grip in all weather conditions. Its textured surface enhances control in wet or dry environments, while the ergonomic shaping promotes comfort and reduces fatigue during extended use. A lanyard hole at the rear of the handle adds versatility for carry customization and retention in the field.
A precision-molded black Kydex sheath is included, offering secure retention and fast, reliable access when needed. The integrated belt clip allows for flexible carry options, keeping the knife positioned for quick deployment whether worn on a belt or attached to gear. The sheath system is designed for durability, weather resistance, and consistent performance in rugged environments.
