Axiom
Absolutely love this knife! I waited to do a review because i recently went bird hunting and wanted to try it out first. I was impressed with the knife to say the least, super sharp and compact. Perfect edc/hunting blade! If you’re thinking about this knife go for it! The axiom is worth it!

Highest quality
Been carrying this knife everyday for the last few weeks since I got it, I searched about every knife brand there was for buying my first high quality fixed blade knife. White river from the moment you see the box to using the knife every day, the edge retention is incredible, the feel and craftsmanship is like no other, no doubt this knife will be passed down for generations, definitely won’t be my last white river knife.

It can whittle walnut
I'm ornery, obtuse and old, so I decided to learn to whittle by hacking at a piece of walnut until it kinda looks like an eagle. After the 30th sharpening of my D2 pocket knife, I decided to invest in the Axiom hoping it would give me a few extra strokes between sharpening. The edge retention is incredible, and the angle is fantastic right out of the box. Great ergo on the handle. The jimping has a wonderful smooth finish that feels both comfortable and secure under the thumb. It's small enough to pocket and the sheath sheaths the knife dutifully. I'm not a fan of the clip that came with it, but I imagine a lot of you would be pissed if they sent along something dainty and ultralight like I'm going to put on it. If I have one real complaint it's the use of 3/32 size hex bolts on the sheath and h20 hex bolts on the scales. It's such a small inconvenience and T10H torx bits will work in a pinch if you don't have a 3/32 hex driver around in the Year of our Lord 2026. It's a weird choice, and since everything about this knife is so thoughtfully made I can only assume that someone had a reason. In my opinion, you should probably buy this knife. It's a good knife.

Axiom
I spent quite a bit of time researching a perfect EDC fixed blade knife to be a companion to my multitool. This knife is what I went with. The build quality is on par or better than any popular knife brands out there (here’s looking at you, Benchmade); I’m very happy with this purchase and plan on carrying this knife every day for the foreseeable future. It’s the perfect size for EDC. I have large hands and the handle feels like what you get with a much larger blade. It came sharp as a razor out of the box. Long term edge retention and how the knife holds up over time with edc has yet to be seen for myself, but you can tell by just holding the knife that it’s designed and made with that in mind, and I have no doubt with proper care that this knife will last a lifetime and then some. Would absolutely recommend this knife and this company.

Greatknife-perfect for EDC
I really love this knife. This is my second Axiom and they do not disappoint. Keeps an edge long, easy to sharpen, and just the right size to pocket carry. The Magnacut steel is spot on, easy to sharpen. I like it just a bit more than the small game knife. Can't go wrong with either one. Can't wait to use it on my next big game animal.
