The White River Knucklehead II is a tough, lightweight everyday carry knife that stays discreet and easy to conceal. Made in the USA by White River Knife & Tool in Fremont, Michigan, it is strong enough for most daily tasks at just 1.7 ounces, so it carries like it isn't there until you need it. It is a no-frills knife built to be carried every single day.
Where the original Knucklehead used a chisel grind, the Knucklehead II moves to a conventional double bevel that is hand sharpened and leather honed, so it cuts straight and arrives extremely sharp. The 2.87 inch blade is ground from .157 inch stock for a stout edge in a small package, with a textured stonewashed finish that hides wear.
White River builds the Knucklehead II in CPM S35VN, a stainless that holds an edge well, resists corrosion, and takes a keen edge back without much effort, a good match for a knife that lives on your body every day. Our comparison of every major knife steel explains where S35VN fits.
The skeletonized handle keeps weight down and gives your fingers a secure purchase, with just enough length to stay comfortable through real cutting work. A bottle opener is built right into the handle, and at 6 inches overall the whole knife stays slim enough to disappear under a shirt.
Wear the Knucklehead II around your neck, on your boot, or on your belt, whatever suits the day, and it rides just as well as a backup in a pack or glovebox. It is guaranteed for life with free sharpening. For another ultralight neck knife, compare the White River ATK, or browse all fixed blade knives.
