SHOP CASE KNIVESThe White River Smith & Sons Brave is a compact fixed blade with big capability, built for serious use and proudly made in the USA. Whether you’re navigating remote terrain, handling daily chores, or prepping for the unexpected, the Brave is a reliable companion that delivers strength and control in a streamlined, easy-to-carry package. Born from the collaboration of two respected American makers—White River Knife & Tool and Smith & Sons—this knife reflects true craftsmanship and attention to detail.
At the heart of the Brave is a 3.5-inch CPM Magnacut drop point blade with a rugged stonewash finish. Magnacut is a next-generation stainless steel known for its exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it a top-tier choice for users who need a dependable blade in any environment. The drop point shape offers a strong tip, a generous belly, and controlled slicing performance—perfect for field dressing, camp tasks, and general utility.
The full tang construction ensures the knife is ready for heavy use, while the natural canvas Micarta handle with black liners delivers a secure, confident grip in any condition. Micarta offers durability, moisture resistance, and a tactile feel that improves the more you use it. The black liners add contrast and structure without sacrificing comfort or control. Measuring 7.375 inches overall and weighing just 3.8 ounces, the Brave strikes the right balance between compact carry and functional ergonomics.
The knife comes with a black Kydex sheath equipped with a belt loop, offering reliable retention and versatile carry options. Whether you mount it vertically or scout style, the sheath keeps the Brave ready for action at a moment's notice.
