Located in Fremont, Michigan, White River Knives is a tight-knit family affair. Nearly half of
the employees are members of the Cammenga family. Once upon a time, compasses were the
family business, and their brand was known the world over. In the early 2000s, they sold that
business, with lofty plans of retiring to travel the country. But it didn’t take more than a few
years before the itch to be more productive became too much to bear. Around that time, they fell
into an opportunity to buy the contents of a knife maker’s shop. Once they secured a location and
got everything installed, they were off to the races.
Over the last 13 years or so, they’ve earned a well-deserved reputation for top-notch knives that
are made for real world use and abuse. The knives are stunning to look at, no question about it,
but they’re definitely meant to get dirty.
With a small crew of fewer than a dozen people, they crank out about 80,000 units a year.
Virtually all components, from the steel to the handle pins, are sourced in the United States.
In the White River Knives lineup, they have something for everyone. The Model 1 is a stellar
choice for an EDC knife, while the Ursus takes the notion of a robust survival knife to the next
level. And every knife comes packaged in a beautiful wood display box, something that truly sets
White River Knives apart from the competition. The Small Game is great for any number of
chores and the Sendero is guaranteed to get attention from anyone who sees it.
High quality knives produced by high quality people, that’s White River Knives in a nutshell.
