This new CRKT looks pretty usefull. Has anyone had the opportunity to use one yet?
Kommer Alaska Bwana Blade steel AUS6-M
Rc hardness 55-57
Blade length 3 5/8"
Length open 8 5/8"
Length closed 5"
Blade thickness 1/8"
Weight 4.4 oz
Alaskan guide for more than twenty years, Russ Kommer, nicknamed Bwana by his clients, has spent his career skinning caribou and moose that can weigh as much as 1,600 lbs. From his in-the-field insight, he designed and made his own knives to complete his tasks. This latest collaboration from CRK&T is one of the most practical folders ever made. Its satin finish full-belly skinning blade features a drop point and is full height hollow ground. The holes in the handle keep the knife light, and provide a better grip, especially when wet. Incorporating the unbeatable LAWKS system with the dual stainless steel liners and Zytel scales makes the Alaska Bwana as rigid when open as it is safe to use. The stainless steel pocket clip is removable, if you prefer, as does Russ.
