Made In USA
Chris Reeve built his name on folders, but the fixed blades hold the same standard, and the lineup is best understood by what each one is for. Where the folders ask which size, the Chris Reeve fixed blades ask which mission, from hard military duty down to a trail knife you forget is on your belt, every one of them full tang, micarta handled, and machined in Boise, Idaho.
Chris Reeve Green Beret and the Pacific
The Green Beret is the military knife, the production line of the design Bill Harsey created for US Army Special Forces, whose graduates still receive its serialized sibling, the Yarborough. Today the family runs two ways, the classic 7 inch spear point and the newer Green Beret Fighter with a 6 inch MagnaCut blade from .22 inch stock, canvas micarta scales, and a MOLLE sheath in black or coyote brown. The Pacific is the dedicated combat blade, a 6 inch clip point at 11.5 inches overall with a glass breaker built into the handle, named to honor the 1st Special Forces Group and offered plain edged or partially serrated in black Cerakote. These two cover the heavy end of the lineup.
Chris Reeve Backpacker and Inyoni
The Backpacker and the Inyoni answer a different need entirely, a Chris Reeve fixed blade you can carry all day without noticing it. The Inyoni is the compact hunter, a 3.775 inch blade at 2.4 ounces that handles game work and camp chores with the precision of a much larger knife. The Backpacker runs a 4 inch blade at 3.8 ounces, and both take removable micarta scales. Strip the Backpacker down and it drops to barely over an ounce and a half, which makes it the natural fixed blade companion to a folder rather than a replacement for one. Every current model wears CPM MagnaCut, the steel covered in our knife steel comparison guide. From here, step up to the full Chris Reeve Knives lineup or browse every fixed blade knife we carry.
