Description

CR2382: Alan Folts 2382 Biwa Fixed Blade

Columbia River (CRKT)

The Biwa is a featherweight build for whatever ends up on the camp menu. When even just the slightest extra weight matters, the Biwa /bee-wah/ lightweight hunting and fishing fixed blade knife is the choice. At only 1.6 ounces, it tucks away as inconspicuously as a few extra dry flies but comes out swinging when a high-alpine trout hits your line. 

Designer Alan Folts of Melbourne, Florida created the custom knife that was to become the Biwa after weathering pressure from his minimalist hunting friends to create a do-it-all hunting knife that weighs as little as possible. Named after a species of Japanese trout, the Biwa hits the mark. 

The long distal taper on the satin-finished blade is a powerhouse for paring, capping, and more. When met with the checkering on the G10 handle, it's crafted so that you'll know just where the blade is even if the whole knife sinks out of sight. A strong, injection-molded sheath lashes easily to a pack or quickly becomes a neck knife.

Creatures of the wilderness, beware.

One flaw
I enjoy this knife, I've owned it for about 6 months. First couple months is when i noticed my only issue. The jimping on the spine is not entirely flush with the grip so you know. On the blade side is also jimping but it's so flush you can't feel texture. The blade being straight always keeps me from putting much pressure as the grip is so smooth, it's not grippy. Maybe they could do an aggressive diamond pattern wood grip. Sleek, sturdy, sharp. Second knife I've owned from Foltz designs. More functionality on the sheath would be cool. I like to wear my knife almost anywhere on my body.

Good little knife but sheath lacks adequate retention.
Good little knife for food prep on the road. I have no complaints with the knife itself only the lack of retention of the sheath.

Ok knife
I got this knife a year ago and I really liked it at first BUT I tried it as a neck knife and it looks cool but it comes out of the sheath every 5 steps and so i put on the horizontal carry belt strap thing and since it was plastic it broke when I set it down. I didn’t set it down hard at all but it just snapped in half and I was unable to fix it.😭😭😭. One good thing about this knife is the durability. I dunno why but this is a really great throwing knife. Better than all of the other ones that are 50 bucks.
