The Tripper river knife is purpose-built for canoe trippers, backcountry explorers, and anyone needing a versatile, reliable tool for multi-day adventures. Designed for both land and water scenarios, this knife is equally adept at camp chores and rescue operations. Whether you're navigating remote waterways or setting up camp, The Tripper is your essential companion.
THE BUILD
The Tripper features a robust drop point blade, ideal for precision tasks and general use around camp. The straight edge provides excellent control for cutting and carving, while its versatility makes it suitable for rescue operations when needed. The 3.25" blade meets Maine IF&W regulations for whitewater guides.
Constructed with indestructible G10 handle scales, rough finished for superior grip even when wet, The Tripper's handle is ergonomic and easy to index. A single finger groove enhances retention during high-stress situations. The ultra-thin handle scales reduce bulk, making it comfortable to wear on a PFD. Each handle includes a lanyard hole for added security.
The blade steel is high-quality, professionally heat-treated 440-C stainless steel, requiring minimal maintenance. The .156” thick steel ensures durability, while the flat grind creates an excellent cutting profile for any task.
MOUNTING YOUR KNIFE
Our versatile sheath system can be mounted in a variety of ways. Fasten the sheath to any standard 1" PFD lash tab using the accessory lash tab clip (sold separately). Or, using paracord (supplied with every knife), zip ties or any other preferred method, you can easily fasten the sheath to a shoulder strap or safe location on your PFD in a variety of configurations by making use of the many attachment points.
Built to last.
