About White River Knives

The Cammenga family from Fremont, Michigan, is far from the first family business dedicated to knife-making, but they are certainly among the most committed. In the early 1990s, their family produced the Cammenga Lensatic Compass for the U.S. military, which was also used by hunters, anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts.

They sold the company in 2005, and John planned to retire, travel with his wife Susan, and go fishing. However, they soon realised they needed to return to work, as they missed the challenges and rewards of running a small business.

In the autumn of 2010, an opportunity arose to purchase knife-making equipment from a local bank. John immediately asked his sons if they wanted to join him in a new family business. And so, in 2011, White River Knife and Tool was born. From the very beginning, they have been committed to producing all White River Knives in the U.S., using as many domestically sourced materials as possible. White River Knives, the American dream realised.
