My deer hunting knife, now by White River
 

After 14 years as a custom knife maker, I finally took the step into production. I've partnered with White River Knife and Tool out of Fremont, MI to build my hunter design. The knife is 7 3/4" long with a 3 1/4" blade of CPM S35VN with various synthetic handles. This is basically the evolution of what I had in mind as the "perfect" deer hunting knife. Works for me, anyway.

Any clip-point knives? Being dumb on the advantages between clip vs drop point knives can you enlighten me?

Honestly personal preference. In my mind, the point of the knife ends up in the same place whether the spine drops off in a line or a curve. I've made plenty of both, but tend to make more drops than clips.

That said, where the point falls in relation to the spine of the knife does make a difference. I personally like my tip about 1/4" below the spine, but other folks like a straight back or upswept tip.

Prefer the folding blades. No moving parts so more durable and easy to clean.

ok, just curious....how do you have a folding blade knife design without moving parts?
di you mean"ID fully agree with that

I too was curious about the folding blades with no parts :)

Can't be done!

i personally didn't recommend to buy any knife online until seen they offer refund policy. Once i bought a knife from Damascus Shop and found them quit better but i still not believe on buying online.

It's obvious guys, you remove the folding part from the knife and it has no moving parts anymore :happy0157:
Jokes aside, I had horrible experience when using folding knives for skinning/gutting so I'm never touching those ever again. Using folder as EDC, sometimes for backpacking, but ain't using it as hunting knife ever again

I second you, at least that online shop must have some local outlet or must be a reputable brand, not for knives only but in general whatever we need to buy.

Nice, the design looks clean and well thought out. It’s a big achievement to turn 14 years of custom knife-making experience into production, and partnering with a well-known company like White River is also a solid choice. The 3.25" blade length looks very practical for deer hunting, offering good control during field dressing and helping reduce hand fatigue. CPM S35VN steel is also a great pick for both edge retention and corrosion resistance.

The benefit of synthetic handle options is that the grip remains consistent in wet or cold conditions. Overall, the design shows that this knife is made for real hunters’ use, not just as a showcase piece. I’m really curious to know where you received the most feedback on this design; was it the blade profile or the handle shape?
