The White River Firecraft FC3.5 is a standout choice for outdoor enthusiasts, blending versatility and top-tier craftsmanship into a compact yet capable package. Designed with bushcrafting, camping, and even larger-scale everyday carry (EDC) in mind, this knife delivers exceptional performance across a range of tasks. Whether you're feathering sticks for a fire, preparing a meal at camp, or tackling everyday cutting needs, the FC3.5 rises to the occasion with a balance of size, strength, and precision.
At the heart of this knife is its premium steel—available in options like CPM S35VN or CPM MagnaCut—offering a blend of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness that’s hard to beat. These high-quality materials ensure the 3.5-inch blade stays sharp through extended use while standing up to the rigors of the wilderness. The blade’s drop-point design enhances its utility, providing a strong tip for detailed work and a broad cutting surface for heavier tasks.
The FC3.5’s fit and finish are nothing short of impressive, reflecting White River’s commitment to quality. Every detail, from the seamlessly attached handle scales to the stonewashed blade, exudes durability and refinement. The handle—available in options like textured G10 or paracord—offers a secure, ergonomic grip that feels natural in hand, even during prolonged use. Its thoughtful design includes a finger ring at the end, making it easy to draw from the sheath or secure for added control.
What sets the Firecraft FC3.5 apart is its built-in fire-starting capability. Included with the knife is a ferrocerium rod, perfectly paired with a sharpened notch on the blade’s spine. This feature allows you to strike sparks effortlessly, making it a reliable companion for igniting a fire in any condition—without dulling the cutting edge. The accompanying Kydex sheath is rugged and versatile, with multiple carry options to suit your preference, keeping both the knife and ferro rod close at hand.
