Handle/blade: maple wood/CPM 3V
Blade length: 10.3 cm
Weight: 160 grams


The **Bark River Fox River** is a relatively light-weight hunting knife. The original Fox River has been one of the most popular Bark River hunting knives for years. Its round belly and lightly curved blade make it perfect for gutting game. The handle feels great in hand. You have a lot of control over the blade and even during long-term use you have enough grip. The Bark River Fox River is, as such, not only great for hunting purposes. It will also handle its own as a bushcraft knife.


The blade is made from CPM 3CV-steel. A tool steel that is known for its exceptional strength. As such it won't break and will retain its sharpness well. You do, however, need to be careful with moisture and acids: CPM 3V is not completely stainless. So clean it after use and occasionally add a drop of oil to keep this knife in great shape. The edge has been enhanced with a convex grind which you can maintain [by stropping it](/en/ct/stropping.htm).



The handle is made from Hellfire Maple Burl. A breathtakingly beautiful type of wood. It is extracted from the root wood of a maple and then stabilized with a red resin. As such the material is sustainable and incredibly beautiful. A real eye-catcher.




The Bark River Fox River comes with a leather belt sheath. You can carry it both straight (max. belt width 5.5 cm) and diagionally (max. belt width 6.0 cm). The sheath also has a loop for a firesteel (max. diameter ~6.0 mm).



Bark River makes all of its knives almost completely by hand. As such each knife is unique. Especially when you are working with natural materials a knife can differ from the photographs. The knife you receive can therefore be subtly different from the product photos. The model and type of material, however, will always be the same.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.
