White river knives have preserved my hope within the knife industry since my loss of serious funds with no product from survive knives. Working on getting my third wrk so thanks for being honest and consistent.
While Guy would continuously lie to me and keep putting things off, WRK has always made sure to quickly get back to me and resolve everything above and beyond my expectations. I remember my first WRK was the ursus 45 probably 3 years ago. I thought the retention was too tight on the sheath and let them know, and they said yeah seems like a few batches had too tight of a sheath. They instantly sent me a new perfect sheath for free. I have had 2 other occasions where I reached out to them and was well taken care of in the same way as...seriously customer service cant get better than what they offer. Their knives are amazing and I really enjoy edc'ing the m1 caper in magnacut or taking the ursus cub with me when I go outdoors more. One of these days I may get a kitchen knife from them and or a camp cleaver. Looking forward to see what the future holds for them...easily my favorite production knife company.
I've had their Backpacker Pro. It is my absolute favorite knife. I wear it everywhere possible. In my humble opinion, it is the best big, little EDC knife.
Jacob Peterson is a good guy. UPS lost my order and he immediately remedied the situation even though he didnt have too. The Jackalope and Adventure craft are some of my favorite knives and probably my most carried as well.
A few years ago, I saw a photo of the Firecraft FC4 for the first time and was amazed by the design. But I couldn't afford it back then. In 2021 I bought a Model 1 and was so impressed with the handling, the blade, and the wooden box. This year I finally bought my FC4 and love it. I live in Germany and for me White River is the example of American quality. I'm looking forward to the Urus Cub and Folder next. Thanks for the great video, the conversation was very pleasant.
I found the post particularly fascinating, as an American that lives off-grid. A blade I would compare to a white river, in terms of quality, is the Tops camp creek knife and the fire edition of the same knife. A unique knife that does everything my ursa 45 can do, while being a better personal carry knife. I've been considering getting an FC 4 or 5 because of the ones I've gotten to experience, which felt akin to my camp creek.
How much do these bad boys go for on the other side of the pond? I’ve seen reviews where European reviewers have to pay like 200 Euros for base model esee 4. Crazy considering premium steel esee 4 goes for 140 (dollars) in the states.
I love my knives from White River Knives. They have a sertain 'je ne sais quoi'. I am especially impressed with the exodus 3 and 4. These knives really took me by surprise. Their design is really, really useful and versatile. Also, the heat treat from WRK on their s35vn is incredible. I am a big fan of this company. 😊
Exodus 3 is my edc. Got 3 of em so far. The 4 is my work knife. I primarily use the 3 as an edc food prep blade more than anything. And all of the 3's are paired with a Spyderco G-clip. Premo for basketball shorts carry excellently! Model backpacker was my first intro to White River though! Still got her around somewhere.
White River is the best in the BIZ!! They’re one of the only companies that uses kydex fully ambi sheaths. Lefties do not have to go to the aftermarket to enjoy their product. The knives are always perfect too.
I use my Exodus 3 daily. Tonight, I noted that I had it in my pocket and totally forgot I had it on me. It is the knife that got me into White River Knives! Now I'm hooked!
and their customer service is insanely good. I just messaged them about one of my sheaths losing some small bit of retention and asking what the best way to tighten it back up is..and they responded asking for my address so they could just send me a new sheath..a new version with a tension screw. Not the first time their customer service has gone way above and beyond for me...i am a customer for life
I’m pretty sure I talked to one of the wives working at the booth at Blade Atlanta last year. So very nice. Looking forward to seeing them again in a few weeks! 😎
The Ursus Cub has become my favorite EDC fixed blade. I wasn't crazy about the kydex sheath, but the leather one they just added for it is awesome and does pretty good double duty as a dangler and a pocket sheath. Only knife to beat out the Guardian 3.2 as an EDC for me.
Guardian 3.2 wasnt for me. Their reasoning for leaving the rough laser cut marks on edge makes no sense to me. Mine even had dips as if the laser wasn't cutting straight. Company said that was normal. I prefer my knives not to be in preworn condition. I don't baby knives either. Rest of knife was fine minus their abysmal sheath.
German here EDCing the M1 Backpacker Pro for about a year now and I love that knife! Very EDC friendly size and weight, the ergos are some of the most comfortable I have had yet, the G10 is grippy as heck and as a fixie it won't get me in trouble with the police! 😋 One question though: The version I have is specificially a blackout version that has been coated with some material that I could not determine, any info on what that coating is? It has a very teflon like matte feel and finish to it but I doubt that is what it is.
I have an m1 caper, it is so comfortable, I find myself just picking it up to feel it in my hand. The sheath is great, the blade is so useful. I'm so glad I bought that knife, more so than any other.
I have the m1 caper in magnacut and brown burlap micarta...its marked as number 1 on the blade. It is by far the best edc knife I have ever had and so cool i got the first one (unless they started at 0 lol) Love this knife
Can we get a folder? With a 4 inch blade that is fully serrated in a Tonto style. A lot of Knife companies say that these are not wanted but I am a customer. I am part of the public and these knives are definitely needed. They have a purpose. There’s only so much you can do with a straight edge, and for some reason, the blades that do have serrated or 50-50 with a half serrated and a half straight edge and for some reason, the serrated is at the back of the blade. If this is only gonna be serrated in half the blade can it be the front part of the Blade, please?
Hoping for an ursus mini closer to 3" someday, or an ursus style blade on an m1. Can't get enough small edc drop point blades. Thank you for what you do!
PLEASE make a video about the best knives with wooden handles or like idk how to explain but like outdoorsy knives for survival and camping in nature. That look good and perform good
The Exodus looks cool, I just think the stock is a liiiitle too thick. I know with how thin the profile is that you need some stock thickness to keep it strong but still...
yeah i think the blade height should be a tad higher and blade thickness needs to come down. Well I am no fan of Jacob anymore after the survive shit so I don't care to own his design anyways.
I will never go back to the salt lake city area. One of the worst places I have ever been to for bad drivers. I was shocked! Disclaimer: once we got out of that area, Utah was one of the most gorgeous states I have ever been to.
I love my Ursus 45 and Caper. I would love to get the Cub to go along with my Ursus. BUT, yes, But I will not get the Cub until you change the sheath. I know I am being picky, but the sheath is just too wide and bulky for EDC or pocket carry.
For the life of me I don't understand these channels playing constantly repeating music in their videos. It's so super annoying I can't watch the entire video.
@@zeus907 theyve released a few models in magnacut and may release more. the m1 caper magnacut is my favorite edc and the ursus cub in magnacut is an amazing edc/woods knife
no it isnt....Dr thomas himself said 62 is good for an outdoors knife and WR runs theirs at 62-64. I talked to them and they said most of them are hitting right at 63 which is perfect for this application. People are too obsessed with overly high rc numbers....you dont want 64+rc on a hard use knife with good thin geometry

Just purchased the M1 for my EDC fixed blade since I won’t ever see the Necker I pre-ordered from Survive
@@ShoahBiz who were you dealing with that was lying and putting things off?
@@HelsinkiPink Guy from the former company Survive Knives
The best part of white river (and part of why I’ll continue to buy) is that they have kept prices constant while others keep going up.
I've had their Backpacker Pro. It is my absolute favorite knife. I wear it everywhere possible.
In my humble opinion, it is the best big, little EDC knife.

Mote is the low key old school legend of BHQ. Good to see you on camera once again.

Howdy folks! Great show! Love WR and have many of their knives! Appreciate the share! Saddle up!
Love my Ursus 45 and Ursus Cub!!

I EDC a White River Firecraft FC4 outside the belt on a tek-lok, great knife that fits my hand like a glove!
That slip joint is a killer design. 100% getting the Magnacut version
I use my Exodus 3 daily. Tonight, I noted that I had it in my pocket and totally forgot I had it on me. It is the knife that got me into White River Knives! Now I'm hooked!
White River does a great job with their kydex. Several times their kydex has been the reason I have chosen their knife over other offerings.
and their customer service is insanely good. I just messaged them about one of my sheaths losing some small bit of retention and asking what the best way to tighten it back up is..and they responded asking for my address so they could just send me a new sheath..a new version with a tension screw.

My fire craft sheath was really rough. It would only release in a certain spot.

White river i cant say enough good things good people makeing great product ...💪💯
love White River
Please please please stop with the constant loop music in the background. It's 100% not necessary and 200% annoying.
Only for you because I heard every word, Stop hating dude
@cocovasquez1 must be why my comment has 32 likes. Not hating just being honest.
@cocovasquez1 maybe if they put your music in the background it would be better. Badass stuff man.

Watching from Germany edcing my limited model 1 caper! 👍🏻
Hell yeah, I've always enjoyed Timote's pocket dumps and his energy!
FIRST!...looks like it's going to be a great show. Can you do Spyderco next.
Love the firecraft knives
I own the Cub and the 45! Awesome knifes!!
Love these guys from my home town Fremont MI
Some really beautiful blades
I love my White River Knives!
I really like WRK and hope they continue to value add when they dont have to. Great folks to deal with as well when I had questions.

So is it possible to take the scales off the backpacker and use parachord anyways?
All look great but the two I really love are Exodus 3 and 4.
Love my WRKT knives! Very excited about slip joints!
I’m pretty excited for the m1 skinner
Thank God, some new guys are a fresh of breath air
Bout time we get some Mote !! 🤘
Hoping for an ursus mini closer to 3" someday, or an ursus style blade on an m1. Can't get enough small edc drop point blades. Thank you for what you do!
m1 caper has a drop point blade tho..just a bit different type of style of drop point than the ursus.
Are you the one making the New Cold Steel Republic? :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
I have the Ursus 45! Never giving it up!
I've been wanting a WR Knife for quite a while now. I want them all.
I'd love a shop tour!
White River or Bark River - which is better steel?
excited for the slip joints, a bone handle option would be amazing
Ordering soon. In in 😊
M1 Backpacker, the best neck knife out there, IMO.
I have the exodus 3, and love it so much. Got my dad one too. Also got a knafs lulu made by white river and its wonderful. Also Mote is the best :)
I love the small game and sendero models, and the exodus is excellent too
great knife company, very underrated
I own their camp cleaver and I LOVE it!!!
Just went to WR site and you have M1 Magnacut in stock
How’s the heat treat on their magnacut?
PLEASE make a video about the best knives with wooden handles or like idk how to explain but like outdoorsy knives for survival and camping in nature. That look good and perform good
Can yall quiet down, im trying to hear the music 🎶
The Exodus looks cool, I just think the stock is a liiiitle too thick. I know with how thin the profile is that you need some stock thickness to keep it strong but still...
yeah i think the blade height should be a tad higher and blade thickness needs to come down. Well I am no fan of Jacob anymore after the survive shit so I don't care to own his design anyways.
Cool knife company. Like a lot of those models.
Picking another WR knife today.
what steel are they made of
magnacut and s35vcn
I like your channel because you’re not racist and many boxing channels are very racist in my opinion
I love my Is Knucklehead. I really want the M1 Magnacut but out of stock for ever.
I will never go back to the salt lake city area. One of the worst places I have ever been to for bad drivers. I was shocked! Disclaimer: once we got out of that area, Utah was one of the most gorgeous states I have ever been to.
What does this have to do with the knives? Lmfao
fc 3.5 is a great little knife, and pretty damn affordable
Great knives, I own two WR’s. The only beef I have is the belt clip. It’s gotta go. I’ve replaced both.
Sendero Classic ftw
I love my Ursus 45 and Caper. I would love to get the Cub to go along with my Ursus. BUT, yes, But I will not get the Cub until you change the sheath. I know I am being picky, but the sheath is just too wide and bulky for EDC or pocket carry.
FC 3.5 baby in Magnacut.. HRC is the key
Music drove me nuts.
White river is awesome tho.
pity hardly available in Europe😣
That music is so high up in the mix it's hard for me to hear the conversation between the two on camera. 🫤
I didn't even realize there was background music until I read this comment 😂
For the life of me I don't understand these channels playing constantly repeating music in their videos. It's so super annoying I can't watch the entire video.
did I miss the knife steel?
It’s all S35VN. There are dealer exclusive models with different steels, though.
They also sell magnacut
@@zeus907 theyve released a few models in magnacut and may release more. the m1 caper magnacut is my favorite edc and the ursus cub in magnacut is an amazing edc/woods knife
Would be nice if they had an option of not having a sharpening choil.
Holy crap that music is annoying as F
HRC on the magnacut is a bit low. Otherwise they seem great.
no it isnt....Dr thomas himself said 62 is good for an outdoors knife and WR runs theirs at 62-64. I talked to them and they said most of them are hitting right at 63 which is perfect for this application. People are too obsessed with overly high rc numbers....you dont want 64+rc on a hard use knife with good thin geometry
FC7?!
Need purple
where's George?
hes sick
🙄 why bother watching a video if you aren't even going to pay attention
George is much better
Turn off the music I can’t hear anything. Oh my god
I heard everything, You probably need a hearing aid
@@cocovasquez1 perhaps, but does the music serve any point other then making it harder to hear them?
Can I win one of them white river knives
Exodus 3 or 4 will slightly larger finger guard assit in self defense role
Stop the music, we don’t all have low attention spans.
Dude you ask some really weird/pointless interview questions...

You are not needed as well 😂😂
Yeah loud music… while talking. Good idea.
