White River SMKW Exclusive Custom Model 1 Fixed Blade Knife FDE PVD S90V Brown Trout G-Carta WRM1-GCRTBT

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 use in the field or dependable everyday carry. This is a purpose-built American knife crafted with premium materials and clean, functional design that performs when the work gets real.

The 3-inch drop point blade is forged from CPM S90V stainless tool steel, a high-performance steel known for exceptional edge retention and outstanding wear resistance. Finished in a rugged Flat Dark Earth PVD coating, the blade offers added corrosion protection while minimizing glare during outdoor use. The versatile drop point profile excels at controlled slicing, detailed cutting, and general utility work.

The Brown Trout textured G-Carta handle blends the durability of G-10 with the organic feel of Micarta, producing a grip that’s tough, comfortable, and incredibly secure in hand. The layered texture enhances traction even in wet or demanding conditions. Its extended tang construction increases overall strength and balance, while the large high finger choil allows you to choke up for precise control when the task calls for accuracy and power. A lanyard slot adds another carry option for field use.

At 7 inches overall and weighing just 3.2 ounces, the Model 1 offers an ideal balance of compact carry and capable cutting performance. A precision-molded Kydex sheath keeps the knife secure and ready for fast deployment whenever you need it.
