White River SMKW Exclusive Custom Model 1 Fixed Blade Knife FDE PVD S90V/Lasagne G-Carta WRM1-GCRTLS

Built for those who demand precision, durability, and control, the White River Custom Model 1 Fixed Blade Knife delivers a compact fixed blade that’s ready for serious work in the field or reliable everyday carry. Designed with purpose and built with premium materials, this American-made knife balances rugged performance with refined craftsmanship in a size that’s easy to carry but more than capable when the job demands it.

The 3-inch drop point blade is crafted from CPM S90V stainless tool steel, a premium steel known for exceptional edge retention and impressive wear resistance. Finished in a tough Flat Dark Earth PVD coating, the blade adds corrosion resistance while reducing glare during outdoor use. The drop point shape offers versatile cutting performance, giving you the control needed for detailed work along with the strength required for tougher cutting tasks.

The handle is crafted from striking Lasagne G-Carta, a distinctive composite made from natural fibers and fabrics combined with epoxy under pressure and heat. The result is an incredibly durable material with a tactile, secure feel in hand. Each handle block is unique, and this Lasagne pattern swirls together red, white, and brown layers that resemble the rich, stacked look of a classic layered lasagna. Extended tang construction adds strength and balance, while the large high finger choil allows you to choke up for outstanding control and power during precision cuts. A lanyard slot provides additional carry versatility in the field.

Measuring 7 inches overall and weighing just 3.2 ounces, the Model 1 offers excellent portability without sacrificing capability. A custom-molded Kydex sheath keeps the knife secure, protected, and ready when you need it.
