Jason Fry Custom Knives
Jason Fry is the President of the Knifemakers' Guild, the world's premier knifemaking organization, a Forged in Fire finalist from Season 5, and the author of Knifemaking Hacks along with a shelf of other knifemaking books. A fifth-generation Texan working outside Lubbock, Fry balances the guild presidency and a regular BLADE Magazine column with his day job as a behavior analyst and a house full of four boys, and he still forges his own damascus on nights and weekends.
Who Makes the Jason Fry Utility Hunter?
The Utility Hunter is a Jason Fry design built by White River Knife and Tool in Fremont, Michigan, produced in real numbers to Fry's exact specifications, design, and material choices. It is the practical answer to custom-knife scarcity: guild-president design discipline with White River's USA production quality, so you can actually get one without a years-long books-open lottery.
The Utility Hunter in CPM S35VN
The blade is a 3.25 inch drop point with a precise but durable tip and generous belly for slicing, ground from CPM S35VN for stain resistance and long edge life, covered in our knife steel guide. The handle earns the model its name, contoured for multiple grips across a day of field dressing, with micarta, G-10, and grippy SureTouch options detailed in our knife handle materials guide. Every knife ships with a right-hand leather sheath by Smith and Sons of Sulphur, Louisiana, and slots straight into the working end of our hunting knives selection.
