CRKT ~ Biwa™ ~ 8cr13mov/G10

The CRKT Biwa™ (2382): 1.6 oz Full-Tang Featherweight Fixed Blade & G10 Armor

Listen up, you weight-obsessed pack-mules, clear off the gear bench and pay attention. If you’re still hauling a half-pound slab of heavy steel up the mountain just to clean a stream trout or prep backcountry trail food, your field rig is dragging you down. Stop acting like a bench-top bench-warmer carrying overkill iron when precision agility is what the job calls for. Designed by Alan Folts, the CRKT Biwa™ (2382) is an ultra-light, full-tang hunting and fishing fixed blade built for the garage-dwelling artisan and woodsman who demands maximum cutting control, rapid blade deployment, and practically zero pack weight.

It pairs a satin-finished 8Cr13MoV blade with multi-colored G10 handle scales and a custom thermoplastic sheath, looking completely lethal sitting on a grease-stained workbench right next to your primary shop tools.

The Sharp & Salty Details

• Full-Tang Slicing Core: Forged from 8Cr13MoV high-carbon stainless steel featuring a 3.02-inch plain edge blade (0.11" thick spine) in a clean satin finish. Engineered for quick touch-ups on a stone, sharp detail work, and reliable corrosion resistance, this edge easily outlasts a certified "Mouth Breather's" two-second focus span.

• Tough Multi-Colored G10 Scale Armor: Outfitted with striking, high-traction G10 handle scales. Built to withstand water, fish slime, shop fluids, and extreme temperatures, this rigid composite handle ensures a locked-in grip when wet without adding dead weight to your belt.

• Indestructible Full-Tang Architecture: Constructed from a single continuous piece of steel running from tip to butt. Delivers absolute structural integrity, eliminating flex and frame fail points when processing fish, game, or tough camp cordage.

• Mind-Blowing 1.6 oz Footprint: Measuring 6.63 inches overall, this full-tang slicer tips the scales at an astonishing 1.60 ounces (45.36 g). Comes complete with a low-profile thermoplastic sheath for safe, instant-access carry in your pack, vest, or shop gear tray.

The CRKT Biwa™ pulls zero punches, deletes bulky trail anchors from your rotation, and upgrades your field utility layout to elite lightweight status. Stop acting like a socket-wrench slinging savage with a heavy cleaver and drop a real 1.6-ounce full-tang slicer straight into your carry setup.
