White River SMKW Exclusive Custom Model 1 Fixed Blade Knife Black PVD S90V/Nightfire G-Carta WRM1-GCRTNF

Built for those who demand precision, durability, and control, the White River Custom Model 1 Fixed Blade Knife delivers a compact fixed blade designed for serious field use and dependable everyday carry. Built in the USA with premium materials and purpose-driven design, this knife strikes an ideal balance between portability and real-world cutting performance.

The 3-inch drop point blade is crafted from CPM S90V stainless tool steel, a premium steel prized for its exceptional edge retention and wear resistance. A rugged Black PVD coating enhances corrosion resistance while cutting down on glare, giving the blade a stealthy, hard-use finish suited for outdoor environments. The drop point profile provides outstanding versatility, offering precise control for detail work while maintaining the strength needed for heavier cutting tasks.

The handle is crafted from striking Nightfire G-Carta, a unique composite made from natural fibers and fabrics infused with epoxy under heat and pressure. This innovative material delivers the durability of modern synthetics with a textured feel that remains secure in the hand. The Nightfire pattern features a deep black base ignited with brilliant streaks of red, orange, and yellow, creating a fiery layered appearance that ensures every handle is one-of-a-kind. Extended tang construction adds strength and balance, while the large high finger choil allows you to choke up for maximum control during precise cutting tasks. A lanyard slot offers additional carry options when you’re working in the field.

At 7 inches overall and weighing just 3.2 ounces, the Model 1 is compact, lightweight, and ready for serious use. A custom-fitted Kydex sheath keeps the knife protected and accessible whenever you need it.
