SHOP CASE KNIVESThe White River Smith & Sons Brave in Natural Burlap Micarta is a compact, hard-working fixed blade built for users who demand reliability without excess. Made in the USA with high-end materials and field-tested craftsmanship, the Brave offers a balance of strength, control, and carry comfort. Whether you're deep in the backcountry, working the land, or just need a dependable everyday tool, this knife is designed to meet the challenge head-on.
At the heart of the Brave is a 3.5-inch drop point blade crafted from CPM Magnacut—a top-tier stainless steel known for its excellent edge retention, exceptional toughness, and resistance to corrosion. The stonewashed finish adds a rugged, low-glare look while helping mask scratches and wear from heavy use. The drop point blade design provides a strong, controllable tip and a wide belly, making it suitable for a range of cutting tasks from camp chores to precision slicing.
The handle is formed from natural burlap Micarta—tough, grippy, and infused with texture for a secure hold in any condition. As you use the knife, the handle material develops character and conforms subtly to your grip. Full tang construction means this knife is built with strength running through the entire spine, giving you the confidence to push the Brave through challenging tasks without compromise.
At 7.375 inches overall and weighing only 3.8 ounces, the Brave hits a sweet spot between compact size and functional reach. It comes with a custom-molded black Kydex sheath equipped with a belt loop attachment, offering multiple carry options and secure retention whether you’re on the move or working in place.
This knife is a product of American hands and minds, built with pride and precision. When performance matters and every ounce of gear counts, the Brave stands ready to deliver. Order it today from SMKW!
