Ursus 45 is an ideal outdoorsman's / camp knife
One reviewer referred to this as "the platonic form of a fixed blade". It has a kind of simple perfection. I got this one after already having the Cub. The only issue I had with that one is the handle is a little small for my large glove sized hands. This one fits in hand perfectly. The weighting feels right. WR factory edges are always appropriately sharp. I really like the way they do their slightly polished stonewash finish on the blades. And of course it cuts well. In comparison with their other knives, this is about 13 oz. with the sheath. The Cub is about half that and the Model 1 even less. So if you want something ultra compact for a hike, maybe check out one of those as an alternative. I own all three and there's a reason I keep coming back to this company. Their fixed blade offerings are top notch.

URSUS 45
I own more than a couple of knives from different manufacturers and have been pleased with most of them but the surprise upon opening my URSUS 45 was a huge surprise. Everything from the packaging to how beautiful the knife was. Quality just absolutely oozes from this knife. At its price it’s an absolute bargain.

URSUS 45
My sons and I randomly stopped by WRKT in Fremont hoping they had a storefront and we were pleasantly surprised that they have just opened a new storefront at their manufacturing plant. We met Matt and after going through all the knives we selected an URSUS 45, and it is AMAZING!!! Afterwards Matt gave us a tour of their knife making shop and it was equally impressive!!!! Excellent knives an Excellent knife shop and Awesome People is what you will find at WRKT.
