Description
Columbia River Knife & Tool Alaska BWANA Folding Skinner
The Alaska Bwana is the folding skinner Alaskan guide and knifemaker Russ Kommer designed and made for himself, translated into CRKT production models. This is a supremely comfortable knife to grip, with a curved handle and finger scallops which make it feel like shaking hands with an old friend. There are no sharp angles or pressure points to cause fatigue. It is also comfortable to carry, thanks to a flat profile and through-drilled lightening holes. The stainless steel pocket clip is removable.
The full-bellied skinning blade features a high, hollow grind. Blade material is tough AUS 6M stainless steel in a bright satin finish. Friction grooves at the top of the blade and near the tip increase feel and control in slippery skinning conditions. Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS®), which effectively converts the knife into a fixed blade when actuated with a push of the thumb, a comforting thing to know when you are working under adverse conditions.
Strong InterFrame build is ideal for this knife, with dual stainless steel 420J2 liners, one locking, and black textured injection molded Zytel® scales. Add a Zytel back spacer and Torx® fasteners and you have exceptional rigidity. It is also easy to clean and maintain. The open build eliminates hidden nooks and crannies. The Teflon® bearings at the blade pivot make opening and closing smooth and fluid, and are fully adjustable for wear. Dual thumb studs for left or right handed opening.
Features:
Blade Material: AUS-6M Stainless Steel
Handle Material: Zytel
Blade Length: 3-3/4
Closed Length: 5
