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 self-defense knife or women that
would be lightweight, easy to access and control. But it seems that every
parachutist, bush pilot and commercial fisherman who sees one, wants one.
As a result,
Russ and CRKT 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 quickly cut rope, webbing or netting, especially if their life depends on it.
The Bear Claw
is available in three blade styles: Razor-Sharp and full Triple Point™
Serrated with pointed tip, plus 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 AUS 6M
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.
We've
developed one of our CRKT trademark high-tech sheaths for the Bear Claw that's
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 attachment of the black stainless steel Teflon® plated pocket clip
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.
