Columbia River Bear Claw Razor Sharp Edge 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 for 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. Blades are full tang taper ground AUS 4 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 3.2 oz. CRKT developed one of their trademark high-tech sheaths for the Bear Claw that's only 1.1 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 wider black stainless steel Teflon plated pocket clip at either end using the Torx tool 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.

Knife is good. Sheath is bad for a fast draw. It holds the knife too tightly in place. Attempting to adjust the retaining bolt on the knife body is difficult. This bolt is actually what holds the knife in place in the sheath. However, it's a star drive bolt (as opposed to phillips or standard, or even hex key) and of an odd size at that. Not that easy to just screw it in a few more turns, and ease up the friction. The resistance is so great to pull the knife from the sheath that occasionally, sheath and knife come away at the same time from my belt.
Knife is good, but, steel could be a little harder to make holding an edge better.

This knife is great for water sports. Was purchased as a gift for a rafting guide. Blunt tip is great for preventing injury or puncturing raft. Curved edge makes cutting tangled rope a breeze. Finger hole allows for comfortable use and security. Safety clip for sheath ensures knife does not inadvertently fall out. Easy attachment kit for sheath to mount to life jacket. GREAT product.

There are a lot of things to love about this little fixed blade knife. One is that it's so low-profile and carries so small that you practically forget you have it. Another is the way it locks into your skeleton via the index finger hole. You just can't drop this knife. Yet another is the relatively big, rounded Zytel scales (handle), which fill the hand and give a nice back-heavy feel to the knife. Along with the distal taper, this makes the blade feel virtually weightless.
Finally, this knife is sharp and aggressive. It'll cut you right out of a seatbelt or other web harness if need be. It's also the fastest way to "untangle" rope, fishing line, or anything else. Compared to even the most convenient folder, it practically jumps into your hand. And because of its small size, if you ever do have to use it to defend yourself, chances are that your target won't know you have it until it's far too late.
Despite the Kydex sheath's configuration, this is too bulky to be a neck knife. I would carry it on my belt, inside or outside the waistband. If it were made of a boutique steel, it would merit 5 stars, but then it would cost too much. I like this knife just the way it is.
