Knife Edge is a Federal-owned dam located in Washakie County, Wyoming, along the Knife Edge Draw river. This earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and spans 360 feet in length, primarily serving the purpose of water supply. With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Knife Edge is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office, ensuring its safety and functionality in providing water resources to the region.

Despite its modest height and moderate risk assessment rating, Knife Edge has a controlled spillway with a width of 60 feet and a storage capacity of 29 acre-feet. The dam's last inspection in June 2018 deemed its condition as fair, highlighting its ongoing maintenance and operational efficiency. With its location in a scenic area of Wyoming and its importance in water resource management, Knife Edge represents a crucial infrastructure piece in sustaining the local ecosystem and climate resilience efforts in the region.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and engage in the conservation and management of water infrastructure, Knife Edge stands as a testament to responsible dam ownership and regulation. Its role in water supply and risk management underscores the importance of maintaining such structures for the benefit of both human populations and the natural environment, making it a focal point for discussions on sustainable water resource practices and climate adaptation strategies in Wyoming and beyond.
