New from White River Knives is what they’re calling a “clever camp cleaver.” Inspired by knives made at the turn of the 20th century, this all-in-one hunting knife is a head-turner.
The cleaver has an overall length of 10.25 inches and a blade length of 5.5 inches. That puts it right in that Goldilocks zone of being not too big, not too small but just right.
Skinny, slicing, chopping, this knife will excel at any task, says White River president John Cammenga.
“Our Bushcraft team designed this knife for the myriad of duties it can fulfill in the camp or field,” said Cammenga in a press release. “This combination of blade curve, thickness and bevel shape, together with the ergonomically designed handle, make this a highly-versatile and efficient knife.”
Specs
- Blade length: 5.5-inches
- Blade thickness: 0.156-inch
- Overall length:10.25-inches
- Weight: 9.2 Oz.

- MSRP: $230.00
A perfect companion for hunters, campers or backpackers.
The stone-washed blade is constructed from top-of-the-line S35VN steel. It sharpens easy, holds its edge and will last for generations. Handles are formed from linen Micarta, a go-to material for blade makers due to its near indestructibility.

In addition to the full-tang cleaver, purchasers will receive a handmade leather sheath. So, a high-quality, 10-inch knife and leather sheath for $230. Not a bad deal at all.
White River notes that quantities of this particular knife are limited. Visit White River’s website to learn more.

It’s S35 steel. You cheap duckers who are whining about that is like the driver of a Hyundai Sonata complaining about the cost of a Porsche. You get what you pay for. Don’t be jealous.
If you pay $100 for a Bear and Son knife with 420 steel, you are getting 50 year old metallurgy at a price where the maker can still make money.

I received a Bush Bat for my birthday. Originally it felt like buyers remorse. Then the more I used it, the more I appreciate it! And now I am wishing they made a Bushbat L. The lines of this cleaver are pretty close to what I am looking for. You really need to try these knives in order to fully appreciate the ergonomics
Price is way to high to consider. I buy a lot of knives. You can buy an American made Bear and Son Bowie knife for under $100. I have one and it does all the camp chores I need done.
