As a result, Russ and Columbia River Knife and Tool have teamed up
to make the production Bear Claw, a cutting machine that, thanks to
the generous size finger hole, acts just like an extension of your hand.
It is the perfect emergency cutting tool for anyone who needs to cut
rope, webbing or netting quickly, especially if their life depends on
it.
The CRKT Bear Claw is available in two blade styles: Razor-Sharp and
full Triple-Point Serrated with tear drop tip for fast cutting without
danger of point penetration. Ideal for law enforcement and emergency
rescue personnel. Blades are full tang, taper ground AUS6M stainless
steel with a fine bead blast finish. Friction grooves are placed on
the blade spine, choil and near the tip for maximum blade control and
safety. The contoured Zytel handle fills the hand neatly. The Bear Claw
weighs in at a lightweight but stout 2.9 Oz.
Columbia River Knife and Tool have developed one of their trademark
high-tech sheaths for the Bear Claw thats only 1 Oz of tough, durable,
injection-molded Zytel. It allows efficient quick release of the knife.
Just thumb push against the sheath to release smoothly and quietly,
or give a sharp pull. It features molded in threaded fittings for clip
attachment at either end, using the Pocket Clip and screws provided.
The sheath also has a total of seven lanyard holes and belting slots,
to permit a variety of carry positions, and a lanyard is provided.
COLUMBIA RIVER KNIVES - BEAR CLAW
Russ
Kommer is a bright young custom knifemaker in Anchorage, Alaska, where
conditions are rugged, either from the climate or the work folks are doing.
He thought a knife that was easy to grip and hard to lose would be a big
hit, and since he made the first Bear Claw, he hasn't been able to meet
the demand. His original concept was a lightweight knife, easy to access
and control. But it seems that every parachutist, bush pilot and commercial
fisherman who sees one also wants one.
