Bark River Custom Broadside CPM-154 Green Linen Micarta

The Bark River Custom Broadside is a fixed blade knife that pairs a proven working steel with one of the most resilient handle materials available — a combination built for hard use without compromise.

Blade

The Broadside's 4.25" fixed blade is ground from CPM-154, a powder metallurgy stainless steel that delivers a meaningful upgrade over conventional 154CM. The CPM process produces a finer, more uniform carbide structure, which translates to improved toughness, better edge retention, and easier sharpening in the field. Bark River finishes the blade with their signature convex grind — a smooth, continuous taper to the edge with no secondary bevel. The result is a geometry that's both exceptionally strong behind the edge and efficient through material, making it equally capable for detailed processing work and heavier cutting tasks.

Handle

Green linen Micarta brings function-first durability to this fixed blade knife. Layers of linen fabric are impregnated with resin and cured under pressure, producing a handle that's impervious to moisture, temperature swings, and the kind of sustained abuse that breaks down natural materials over time. The texture actually improves with use — as the surface wears, exposed linen fibers create a subtle grip that gets tackier when wet. It's a material that earns its reputation in the field, not on the shelf.

Carry

Each Broadside ships with a leather sheath crafted in-house by Bark River from top-grain leather, providing secure retention and reliable everyday carry. Total weight comes in at 7.2 oz with an overall length of 8.75", keeping the knife substantial enough to work hard without becoming a burden on the belt.

Handcrafted in Escanaba, Michigan, every Bark River fixed blade knife is backed by a no-questions-asked lifetime warranty. The Custom Broadside in Green Linen Micarta is a straightforward tool — no flash, no filler, just a well-made knife ready for work.
