White River Camp Cleaver
The White River Camp Cleaver is a versatile camp and hunting tool built for both cutting and chopping, and it doubles as an excellent skinning blade. Made in the USA by White River Knife & Tool in Fremont, Michigan, it pairs a uniquely modified cleaver blade with an ergonomic handle that stays easy to control through fine work and heavy chopping alike.
A Modified Cleaver Blade for Camp and Hunt
The Camp Cleaver runs a 5.5 inch blade on a 10.25 inch frame, cut from .158 inch stock for the weight and backbone to chop, split kindling, and baton wood. The modified cleaver profile still skins game and processes meat cleanly, and owners use it to rock chop vegetables on a cutting board. A hang hole in the blade lets you store it on a hook at camp or in the kitchen. It is one of the most distinctive options in our cleavers collection.
CPM S35VN at 59 to 60 Rc
White River builds the Camp Cleaver in CPM S35VN hardened to 59 to 60 Rc with a stonewashed finish, a steel with the toughness to take chopping impact and the edge retention to keep skinning. Our comparison of every major knife steel explains how S35VN balances the two.
Micarta Handles and Leather Sheath
We carry the Camp Cleaver in Natural Burlap, Black Burlap, and Black and OD Linen Micarta, a grippy, hard-wearing handle material covered in our guide to knife handle materials. At 9.3 ounces it is hefty but maneuverable, and it rides on your belt in the included leather sheath.
One Blade for the Whole Camp
The Camp Cleaver is a do-it-all camp knife, the kind we break down in our guide to camp knives. It is covered by White River's lifetime guarantee with free sharpening. For a heavy survival blade, compare the White River Ursus, or browse all fixed blade knives.
