Just a update August 2018. White River fixed the issue of the sharp edges around the finger choil. I handled a newer one at blade show 2018 and they now round them a bit and are much more comfortable.
I like the blade. I used to love, and still do in a lot of ways, large blades. Now I find that I gravitate to the smaller ones. So many uses for the little guys. Nice review!
I run a m1 caper for edc and I really love it. The jimping is a tiny bit sharp but that’s an easy fix with some sand paper. It feels great in the hand to me.
I'm just now thinking about buying the White River Caper. I watched many reviews. You're the first person to apply some critical thinking with regards the finger comfort of the jimping and choil. I can see where that might be an issue. All the other reviews just call it awesome and leave it at that. Good review.
The Life I live Now sorry bro just saw this. Just google kydex sheath straps and you will find various places. They are not leather though it’s more like a rubberized material
John Eli I have a Dozier small belt knife that’s probably my favorite. Production wise I like the jx6 they have improved the white river since this video as well still a good option.
@@semperfipt Was considering the Caper as a EDC utilitarian/self defense option. But having largish hands your review has got me wondering. For the $$$ I don't want to be stuck with something that pinches my hand every time I use it. Have their been any improvements in respect of this?
Vaughan Starr they round the edges now and it is much better. Size wise the jx6 is still more comfortable for larger hands. I don’t think it’s too big to carry. But the caper is definitely smaller and easy to carry. So kinda pick your poison they are both good knives.
@@semperfipt Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I like the Caper as with that point it looks at though it could fulfill a tactical role (deep choil really locking the grip on there) while still being utilitarian. This is important as most knives scream murder weapon in their design. And rule of law where I live states that while you can carry a blade, you cannot carry one with intent. If it is deemed you have, you can be charged even if you have acted in defense of your life. So, a blade that could be genuinely used in the day to day, but still had that tactical option if needed is what I am looking for. Not the latest Ninja Special Forces Commando Midnight Death Dealer 3000, of which there are plenty.
I actually recieved a "white river backpacker" same thing skeletonized with paracord wrap handle, and i love it! Check my channel for my unbox! You gotta give it some leverage, in the fact that it is VERY versatile, and this white river knife can do much more OVERALL edc to survival seamlessly. In my humble opinion! :)
Good review but however as far as the jimping goes, this knife was named “Caper” because it’s designed for caping game and processing meat and anyone doing this would probably wear gloves as an added layer of protection as game can have bacteria that could cause an infection if it gets into your bloodstream. So, for any other purposes you probably won’t even use the jumping that much processing cardboard for the dumpster anyway. I personally love the knife as an EDC.
Ok guy wow way to show me the light lol. Yes jimping does get better. And it’s still flat ground up to the flat. Ever seen a hollow saber ground because they exist too. It’s a great knife perfect no and they updated it since this video.
