Bark River Custom Broadside CPM-154 - Blue Karelian Birch - Blue Glow Liners - Moasic Pins - Flat Grind

CPM-154 Fixed Blade with Karelian Birch Handles

The Bark River Broadside is a custom fixed blade built for collectors and users who want a knife with both fine materials and field-ready performance. This variant pairs CPM-154 steel with striking blue Karelian birch handle scales, blue glow liners, and mosaic pins for a knife that stands out while still handling everyday cutting tasks.

Blade

The 4.375" blade is CPM-154 stainless steel finished in satin with a flat grind. CPM-154 is a premium particle-metallurgy steel known for strong edge retention, good toughness, and reliable corrosion resistance, making it a favorite among custom makers for knives meant to see real use. At .185" thick, the blade has enough backbone for detail work and harder cutting tasks alike.

Handle

Karelian birch is a dense, richly figured wood prized for its swirling grain pattern, here finished in blue and paired with blue glow liners that show beneath the scales. Mosaic pins run through the handle for both structural strength and visual detail. The finished knife weighs 6.49oz, light enough for extended carry.

Carry

The Broadside ships with a leather sheath for belt carry. As a fixed blade, there is no lock mechanism to manage - the tang and blade are a single solid piece of steel, and the sheath provides secure retention with a traditional welted leather construction.

Made in the USA.
