Description: The Kiku Knives Kawa-Garasu is a tremendous all purpose utility knife. Kikuo is an enthusiastic fisherman and he developed this knife as the perfect fisherman's river knife.
The 3-1/2 inch blade is formed from OUS steel -- created by forging AUS-6 stainless steel around an OU-31 semi-stainless steel core. This results in a knife that has the legendary edge holding that has made Kiku Knives famous with easier care. The soft, supportive sides help support the super-hard center core during hard use. The blade is completed with Kikuo's non-reflective, disruptive acid finish.
The handle is formed from durable black G10. The knife can be comfortably held using a wide range of grips: Thumb notches provide a strong, non-slip rest. For detail work while cleaning bird and trout, the index finger can be rested on the back of the blade behind the raised harpoon tip. A lanyard can be easily attached to the end of the handle.
The knife is accompanied by a hand fitted Kydex sheath with DOTS belt clip. This is a tremendously practical EDC utility!
