I tried one of the BRKT Featherweights (not the fox river) , and it sat exactly wrong in my hand. More specifically the "point" at the lower rear of the handle created a hot spot, of sorts. It would have been a simple fix; BUT the tang was so skeletonized they said they couldn't make the modification I wanted. I've been afraid to try another featherweight model, as the ones I've looked at seem to have that same "point"
I have the Fox River LT, and love it; but, on looking up the featherweight, I see it's got a shorter blade.
The white river hunter is shown to have a blade thickness of 0.13; it should do what you need; but the BRKT featherweight or LT series will both have thinner blades.

Thank you so much for that information. I sure appreciate it, also you have a very cool dog...
 
Ive only handled White River knives, I dont own one. White River's Sendero Classic is next on my list. Everything about that knife felt right.
I have a few different Bark River and they are ok, they have lots of handle options/colors.
 
I have a White River's Sendero Classic being mailed out tomorrow....0.100" spine thknss.
What did you pick and how do you like it?
