White River SMKW Exclusive Custom Model 1 Fixed Blade Knife FDE PVD S90V/Vintage Especial G-Carta WRM1-GCRTVET

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 work in the field or dependable everyday carry. Built in the USA with premium materials and purposeful design, this knife combines rugged capability with a distinctive look that stands out while still performing when it counts.

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

The handle is made from vibrant Vintage Especial G-Carta, a distinctive composite crafted from natural fibers and fabrics fused with epoxy under pressure and heat. The result is an incredibly durable material with a tactile grip that feels secure in hand. The Vintage Especial pattern features bold multi-colored striping that gives the handle a lively, layered appearance reminiscent of classic woven textiles. Because each block of G-Carta is individually created, every handle carries its own unique color flow and pattern. Extended tang construction provides added strength and balance, while the large high finger choil allows you to choke up on the blade for enhanced control and cutting power. A lanyard slot offers an additional carry option when working in the field.

Measuring 7 inches overall and weighing just 3.2 ounces, the Model 1 offers excellent portability without sacrificing performance. A custom-molded Kydex sheath keeps the knife protected and ready for quick access whenever needed.
