The Battle Horse Birch River is a featherweight in the Battle Horse Knives catalog: 3 inches of flat ground O1 tool steel at 6.875 inches overall and just 3 ounces on the belt. It is the blade you forget you are carrying until there is small game to clean, food to prep, or a tent stake to point.
The flat grind gives the Birch River a slicier edge than its scandi ground siblings, the right geometry for skinning small game, camp kitchen work, and fine carving, and it makes an easy second knife in a hunting knife kit. O1 tool steel holds a keen edge and touches back up on a strop; our knife steel comparison guide covers the carbon steel's habits in full. The individually numbered elk antler handles make each of those knives a one of one, with matte micarta in natural, green, or black for the workhorse crowd; our knife handle materials guide explains what antler asks of you and what it gives back. Every Birch River ships with a brown leather sheath and is handmade in Cambridge, Ohio.
