  The sheath is well made and has an added pocket that can be used for a small sharpening stone or perhaps a multi-tool...  In short, for this price range, it is a decent knife with some exceptional features

 The edges of the handle do not come flush with the tang of the knife and when you look closely along the top of the sides of the handles you can see small dimples from the molding process. If you use gloves, which I do, the handle defects will not be a problem. However, it would be nice if the handles were defect-free. Another defect is found in the blade itself

 However, it would be nice if the handles were defect-free. Another defect is found in the blade itself. If you run your finger along the top of the spine of the knife you can feel dips and nooks that should have been ground out in the finishing process. Under normal outback use this shouldn't become an issue and can probably be dismissed as a cosmetic flaw

 There are a few flaws that keep this knife from getting five stars. The most obvious flaws deal with the handles. The edges of the handle do not come flush with the tang of the knife and when you look closely along the top of the sides of the handles you can see small dimples from the molding process. If you use gloves, which I do, the handle defects will not be a problem

Beefy well balanced knife ...

 PROS: -1095 high carbon steel / full tang. Great for knives in a harsh environment, and full tang is a MUST. -At about 1/4 in. thick, this knife screams durability, and can withstand plenty of abuse

 -The grip fasteners. Now here where we split hairs, I'm sure. I believe a true "survival" knife is one you don't have to take care of or maintain often, if at all. With these little screws/ nuts holding the handle to the steel, that leaves room for oxidation and rust

 -Extra, removable mini cargo pouch on the sheath. I'm HUGE on more pockets, and this comes through!  CONS: -THE SHEATH!! Now although the knife itself is absolutely fantastic, the sheath leaves a bit to be desired. First off its just nylon with a plastic insert for the blade. Not a high quality nylon, but in all fairness

 edges are slightly off on some points and the steel doesn't even contact the grips in others, giving it a slight "warped" look. With so much dedication seemingly infused into the creation of this awesome blade, one would think the creators wouldn't skimp out on the details. -The grip fasteners. Now here where we split hairs, I'm sure

IDEAL FOR A RURAL SURVIVALIST, or B.O.B.

rubber handle is not flushed with the tang, you can feel the metal edges when holding.  heavy, solid and sturdy. surely will last

Handle could be better

 1095 steel, for the price this is a plus since this steel is pretty good for outdoors/survival tasks, will need to be taken care of to avoid rust though. Looks and feels tough, very thick spine, don't think it will suffer any damage when chopping or battoning. Price!, for the size and steel material this is a great price point.  Ok now for the CONS: The balance feels a little off, I can't quite describe it but it just something you have to feel for yourself

 Having said the above in order for you to enjoy this knife you have to see it for what it is, an affordable made in Taiwan tank/beater knife for medium to heavy chores with good steel and a not so good aesthetic finish. This is a great option for a BOB or remote/primitive backpacking trip where wood processing will be high on the list of priorities and you decide not to brig a hatchet or axe. Hope this review is helpful in making your decision.

For the price excellent for a BOB system.

 For the price, I’m not aware of a tougher small chopping capable knife. The ergonomics are somewhat decidedly fixed with the finger grooves. And my hands are medium, but the knife, albeit with no gloves, feels good. The thick 1/4 inch blade reminds me of my Ka Bar BK2

 In closing, of the 40 knives that I’ve collected, this will be the bruiser that may actually get used for hard work. Buy if if you’re considering it!

 The negatives are the fit of the scales to the handle is what you should expect from a rough beast under $40.00. The scales aren’t even with the contours of the grip at all. I learned this would be the case in other reviews and it’s very very correct

What I highly recommend is the really good value for under $40.00. For the price, I’m not aware of a tougher small chopping capable knife. The ergonomics are somewhat decidedly fixed with the finger grooves

Built Like A Tank.

 Out of the box, the sheer bulk of the knife was the first thing I noticed - as many others have said, this thing is a beast, weighing in at close to a full pound. The grips are nicer than expected, rubber-like and with a slight give that gives a comfortable feel. I wish they fit better, as the tang slightly protrudes all around the handle. It's not uncomfortable, but I do wonder if that would be true once the knife was used for any extended period

  The knife was not sharp out of the box and as I was inspecting the blade, I noticed it was bent. As I looked down the spine toward the point, it curved a bit to the left. I put a straight edge against the knife to confirm, and it did show a curve. I'm not sure how it escaped factory QC

 Fortunately Amazon was superb in taking the return and getting a new knife out in a few days.  The replacement came, this time with a straight blade, though still not very sharp out of the box. The grind looks ok, but may need some work, which isn't shocking considering the price point. Like my previously returned knife, this one had the same same fit issues with the handles

  Overall, this is a good knife for the price, but it's not going to replace the Ontario SK-5 Blackbird as my primary knife in my emergency/bugout kit. It's just too heavy, and doesn't have the overall quality. Then again, it doesn't have the Blackbird's price tag. This is a nice knife for the price to keep around the house and should serve you well in most tasks

Excellent price for a good, but not great knife.

Let's be clear here... This knife is definitely one of the best bargains going! I don't think you can get a more heavy duty knife for this price guys

 Why is this important? Well, a common complain from owners of this knife as well as the knife I received, is that the edge grind can be uneven causing the tip of the knife to be off center.  I had to spend a little time on my sharpening stones to center the tip of the knife, but I was willing to make that concession for a knife at this price.  3. This is kind of related to #2, but the knife does not come sharp out of the box in most cases

 So expect to have to sharpen it before your first outing with the knife. Once again, no big deal. Every knife owner should know how to sharpen and maintain his/her blades anyways!  4. The sheath is not the highest quality here guys

 But honestly, you could do A LOT worse at this price! The sheath is definitely very sturdy and should serve you perfectly well. The sheath also has a small sized pocket on the front that can be used to hold any number of things such as a small sharpening stone, maches, ferro rod, lighter, compass, etc. The pocket also has the added benefit of being detachable if you decide you would rather remove it.  All in all, I think this is a great value knife! Your getting a full quarter inch thick blade made from 1095 high carbon steel

Great for the price, but you have to spend some time on it.

No Nonsense EDC

 This one comes with the car deck sheath. You can get a leather sheath form, but most of the time you're gon na find it is coming with that Kydex sheath and then it's the signature of the with your White River guarantee by the owner of White River knife and tool, and then you also get In the Box a little instruction card or your sheet on the different ways you can mount the lid on it, four different ways: one carry so next and now let me get you a close-up of the knife and sheet itself. So here you have the knife in its sheath, I, the one I purchased was the the black and gray toned colored micarta. I went ahead and stripped that and add it dyed it with some cherry red to give it a little bit of red

 Through you there's different positions, you can adjust it to and it works out very well, and the retention on it is is solid, solid retention for sure it has. It has a little bit of a click there and it grabs it and it holds in place no shaking you're not going to lose this thing. You know you can run with it down the trail. What have you? It'S not going anywhere solid retention, and this is nicely rounded, as as a push release on do it, so you can pull out the knife, so excellent, sheath, no nonsense! You know fairly streamlined, build good quality, couldn't be happier for $ 150 to get that that kind of Steel that s35vn steel on a on an every day carry blade

 An excellent feel excellent ergonomics. If you need to choke up and throw your finger out there towards the tip and do some finer cutting it's, it's still excellent feel for doing that. Even though there's no jumping down there, that's alright it still. It still works really really well, and it's just fits perfectly in this in this grip right here you get that full three-inch blade and it's a mild stone, wash it's kind of like a brushed stone wash for the blade which, which is just elegant all the way Around and it's a hundred percent made in the USA by by a family-run business and with from what I've heard, excellent warranty, an excellent customer service

 I think that hitting Canyon has a 2.75 two and three-quarter inch blade length versus the white rivers three inch, so you get a little bit more length of blade with this guy and the steel is basically the same as 30 vs s 35 right about the same Type of Steel, but the big difference to me least was - and everybody kind of, has a feel for my hand, size i've, where I kind of fit between a medium and a large size, glove and always end up wearing large. Because of that reason, I'm kind of right there in between my fingers, aren't very long but in my hands, not huge, but it's a good size average male hand and with the hidden Canyon, by Benchmade. There'S just not quite enough length in the handle

M1 Caper Knife by White River

 Lockup is a developing blade play. If it's an emergency, you know how fast can you deploy the blade and, of course, it's inherently going to be weaker than a full tang? For these reasons there has been a resurgence in the community of interest in small, fixed blades, but is it practical? Well, you are gon na give up some length. Okay, no doubt about that. This is a it's an Al Mar Eagle

 It'S got orange g10 handle scales and that length and that weight really piqued my interest, because this is the type of fixed blade. Sorry, if there's background noise, this is not a tabletop, but the weight in the length of this blade make it a fixed blade that could be carried in place of an EDC, folding knife and that's of interest to a lot of people. You see full tang construction white liners there, some jimping on a thumb rest here, it's got a stone wash, but the stone wash is very highly polished. You can see it reflecting some trees there

 Most people already have a budget price candy blade. At least most of my subscribers already own a Mora knife. This is a martini, but it's the same idea as a Mora. So I'm not saying you should replace your Mora, not at all I'm just saying how many Moroz can you buy

 The acute tip is good for basically surgical work, whether skinning first-aid or social situations. The ergonomics simple, but freakin, beautiful construction, first-rate, fit and finish first-rate, the stone wash with high polish first-rate, I mean yeah, it is expensive, but you're. Getting every little detail is perfect. The sheath, first-rate, you know compact light, does its job

White River Knives Caper Knife Review

 That'S pretty much! Uh! That'S pretty much the deal on on this knife. I mean again supe super rugged. Uh super super durable. Thus far um, like i said, i've only had it for a short period of time and uh i've been rocking it every day and um

 Uh super super durable. Thus far um, like i said, i've only had it for a short period of time and uh i've been rocking it every day and um. I definitely definitely dig that just mentioning a couple things about the sheath here. I think what i what i like about this is: not only can you rock it around your neck, obviously taking the taking the belt clip off, but you can rock it on your belt and i think, what's nice is you can either ride it up up and Down vertical like this, or you can obviously turn the uh turn the clip, of course, and rock it so that it's sitting on your on your on your belt or you know, obviously on your belt uh

 I kind of do dig that um. Like i said uh, you know you don't necessarily have to do that: okay, but uh, but that's uh. That'S pretty much! Uh! That'S pretty much the deal on on this knife. I mean again supe super rugged

 Don'T get me wrong. I love everything being from the us, but there's a lot of product out there that doesn't have to be, and so just uh saying that, just for whatever intents and purposes but anywho um listen. I think that, as far as the as far as the length is concerned, we've got seven seven inches in total overall length, three inches in blade, length and and weight. It'S nice, it's lightweight! It'S uh! You know we're coming in at 3

White River M1 Caper - Great Everyday Carry (EDC) Fixed Blade

 Everything the edges have been rounded off. Ok, so they're very, very comfortable, and you can tell that they paid a lot of attention to detail when they were handling this knife. Alright, just a little aggressive, but not to be not to the poem work actually digs into your thumb. It'S very comfortable and of course, as you guys know, this micarta handle was absolutely beautiful

 Potentially, I actually might put some bullets in here or extra knives or whatever I want. Maybe my wedding ring even alright, so let's just jump right into the product. This is a Kydex sheath very nicely executed and there's no sharp edges. They do have the joint drainage hole, as you can see right there and I got to play around with it a little bit

 This is a Kydex sheath very nicely executed and there's no sharp edges. They do have the joint drainage hole, as you can see right there and I got to play around with it a little bit. The retention is fantastic, they're, saying going anywhere, no matter how you carry it, alright, so I'll, let you guys see what's up less talking more visual here, you go and just so you know this belt loop is 2 inches. Okay, alright we're done with that all right
