The White River Exodus 3 and Exodus 4 are Exodus Knife and Tool designs built by White River Knife & Tool in Fremont, Michigan. When Exodus asked White River to produce them, White River was so impressed with how they performed that it added both to its own lineup. They look slim and sleek, but both punch well above their weight in the woods, at camp, and in the kitchen.
Known to Exodus fans as the Adventurecraft, the Exodus 3 is the size of a bird and trout knife with the toughness of a much bigger blade. Its 3.15 inch drop point runs 7.2 inches overall and weighs just 2.3 ounces, ideal for feathering firewood, small bushcraft chores, game dressing, food prep, and everyday carry on the belt, around the neck, or as a backup in your pack.
The Exodus 4, the Jackalope in Exodus's own lineup, is the big brother. A 3.88 inch drop point on an 8.5 inch frame at 3.5 ounces makes it a compact primary belt knife that outperforms many larger bushcraft blades, and it is just as good at camp and in the kitchen as it is dressing game.
Current Exodus builds run CPM MagnaCut at 63 to 64 Rc with a stonewashed finish, a steel that pairs edge retention with toughness and corrosion resistance, and a few earlier S35VN versions remain in stock. Handles come in Natural Burlap and Black Canvas Micarta for a sure grip wet or dry. Our guides to knife steels and handle materials go deeper on both.
Both sizes ship with a custom-molded Kydex sheath for secure, low-profile carry, and both are made in the USA and covered by White River's lifetime guarantee with free sharpening.
