SHOP CASE KNIVESThe White River Ursus Fixed Blade is a purpose-built tool crafted to thrive in the harshest outdoor conditions. Whether you're deep in the backcountry, setting up camp, or preparing kindling, this knife delivers uncompromising performance in a clean, functional package. Proudly made in the USA, the Ursus 45 stands out for its robust construction, premium materials, and field-tested reliability.
With a 4.5-inch drop point blade, the Ursus offers outstanding versatility for bushcraft, survival, and heavy-duty utility tasks. The stonewashed finish on the blade minimizes glare and masks wear, while the .158-inch thickness gives it the backbone to handle batoning, prying, and controlled chopping. Depending on the version, you'll get either CPM S35VN steel at 58-60 Rockwell hardness or CPM MagnaCut at 62-64—both offering excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
The black burlap Micarta handle is built for serious grip, even in wet or cold conditions. Contoured and comfortable, it fills the hand without creating hotspots during prolonged use. Full-tang construction ensures structural integrity from tip to pommel, and the handle slabs are securely bolted on for long-term durability. A pronounced finger guard provides safety and control during high-pressure cuts.
Included is a molded Kydex sheath designed for secure retention and convenient belt carry. It’s rugged, lightweight, and field-ready, just like the knife it holds. Weighing in at 8.3 ounces and stretching to 9.5 inches overall, the Ursus is well-balanced and easy to maneuver, yet tough enough for the long haul.
From wilderness guides to serious outdoorsmen, the White River Ursus is built for those who demand performance without compromise. Its American craftsmanship, high-end steel options, and ergonomic design make it a staple in any outdoor loadout. Order yours today with SMKW!
