Columbia River Kommer Wrangell Range Hunting KnifeThe Columbia River Kommer Wrangell Range Hunting Knife is part of a series designed by hunting guide and knifemaker Russ Kommer. Quality knives for serious hunters that you’ll cherish and leave to your children. After Russ makes a new knife, he takes it on the next hunting trip he guides and uses it on the skinning of Alaskan moose, caribou and bear. The fixed blade hunters survived his field test. That’s good enough for us. These knives have been named after Russ’s favorite hunting ranges.
The Wrangell Range is a classic drop point fixed blade hunting blade with a choiled power grip handle that gives you security, no matter how you choke up on the knife. It is ideal in wet and icy conditions.
Each Signature Hunter comes with a fitted leather sheath. Like the finest custom sheaths, they are made from a single piece of 7- to 8-ounce leather. They are tooled and perimeter stitched with burnished edges.
They’re all Alaskan classics. And in case you can’t get to Alaska on your next hunting trip, Russ says they work just as well in Montana and Tanzania.
Columbia River uses specific blade steels to achieve a balance of properties
based on the anticipated applications of the knife. Steel is an alloy of iron, other metals and carbon. Stainless steel is a generic term for a family of corrosion-resistant alloy steels which contain 10.5% or more chromium.
Stainless does not mean that these alloys will never stain or corrode, but that they
stain less than steels which do not contain chromium. Each alloy imparts different properties to the stainless steel.
