In the ever-evolving world of cutting-edge utilities, CRKT is once again pushing the envelope with their newly unveiled line of Bear Claw
fixed blade knives for 2024. Known to be a favorite among whitewater rafters, water sports enthusiasts, and emergency response personnel, the Bear Claw knife has now been meticulously modified to offer more versatility and robust functionality.
The new Bear Claw series consists of three exciting models, each tailor-designed to serve a specific purpose. Two of the models carry forward the acclaimed tradition of the Bear Claw with their blunt-tipped design, making them a safe carry option in sensitive environments such as around rafts and inflatables. Built with corrosion-resistant steel, these knives also flaunt the signature Veff Serrations on their blades, designed to easily sever ropes and straps.
Adding to the lineup is the third model, which while retaining the design features of its counterparts, presents a needle-sharp tip exclusively crafted for piercing tasks. This lethal addition to the Bear Claw family not only makes it a cherished companion on day-to-day outdoor ventures but also doubles up as a reliable personal safety tool.
The whitewater rafting community has long relied on the Bear Claw for its compact size, easy gripping, and high durability. The knife bears a textured handle with a finger retention hole that ensures a firm grip even in damp conditions. Moreover, the sheath accompanying these knives stipulates various mounting possibilities for rapid access in emergency scenarios.
Despite the advanced features, the new Bear Claw models remain reasonably priced at an MSRP of $90. This range extension from CRKT® maintains its timeless essence of usability and simplicity while integrating a dash of innovation, thus positioning the Bear Claw as an apt tool to keep at arm’s length in the wild.
The recent introduction of the Bear Claw fixed blade knives follows a trend of impressive releases from other renowned knife manufacturers. As previous releases show, such as the Ball and Buck X Winkler Fixed Blade Knife and the Razor Tek lineup by Cold Steel, high-quality blade craftsmanship backed by ingenious design has been a common thread. The Bear Claw, with its unique features and affordability, adds a new chapter to this exceptional chronicle of blade innovation.
While new introductions such as the Benchmade 430BK and 430SBK Redoubt EDC knives cater to a broad range of purposes from hunting to home utility, the Bear Claw continues to uphold its reputation as a trusted reliable knife in water-related activities and emergency situations. With its latest variants, CRKT has successfully built on the Bear Claw legacy, presenting a true masterpiece of a tool that is every outdoor enthusiast’s dream.
