SHOP CASE KNIVESThe White River Smith & Sons Brave in Maple and Black Richlite is a compact fixed blade built for those who value reliable gear with American-made quality. Proudly crafted in the USA, this knife brings together the trusted performance of White River Knife & Tool and the refined design sensibility of Smith & Sons. The result is a lightweight, field-ready tool that’s as tough as it is versatile.
At the heart of the Brave is a 3.5-inch drop point blade made from CPM Magnacut—an advanced stainless steel known for its impressive edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The stonewash finish adds a rugged, low-glare appearance while helping to resist wear and scratches over time. The drop point profile offers the control and balance needed for everything from backcountry bushcraft to daily utility tasks.
This knife features full tang construction, ensuring strength and stability from the tip of the blade to the handle’s end. The handle itself is a blend of natural maple and black Richlite—durable, water-resistant, and built to handle tough environments while offering an eye-catching contrast of natural warmth and modern material. The sculpted shape fills the hand comfortably, providing a confident grip in dry or wet conditions alike.
Weighing just 3.8 ounces and measuring 7.375 inches overall, the Brave is compact enough for easy belt or pack carry without sacrificing cutting power or control. It comes equipped with a black Kydex sheath featuring a belt loop attachment for secure and accessible carry in the field or around town. Whether you're processing game, prepping kindling, or just handling camp chores, this knife is built to perform.
Made in the USA with care and precision, the White River Smith & Sons Brave stands as a testament to American knife-making craftsmanship. It’s built for users who demand gear that works as hard as they do. Order it today from SMKW!
