The Akua River Knife is an all - around tool perfect for freshwater escapades. Its 3 - inch titanium - coated blade made of 5Cr15 stainless steel is equipped with a line cutter, straight and serrated edges. This allows you to effortlessly cut rope, fishing line, and food. The blade has a blunt tip that won't puncture inflatables and can act as a screw or pry tip for riverside food preparation and quick repairs. The smooth blade is great for cutting fish and lures. It attaches easily and securely to your PFD lash tab, deck bag, or belt. The quick - release sheath, with a simple press of the thumb tab, gives you instant access to the knife. Additionally, it comes with a bottle opener and a rounded end that doubles as a glass breaker. The knife features an acetal handle available in high - vis green or black, and an acetal molded sheath with a stainless steel belt clip in black. With a blade length of 3 inches, an overall length (in sheath) of 8 inches, a blade thickness of 0.12 inches, it weighs 3.8 oz for the knife and 5.7 oz overall. The quick - drain sheath can be mounted almost anywhere using the removable belt clip, 1 - inch webbing mount, and lanyard holes.
Using the Akua River Knife is a breeze. To access the knife quickly, just press the thumb tab on the quick - release sheath. You can use it for various freshwater activities like fishing, paddling, or navigating. When cutting fish or lures, the smooth stainless - steel blade will work great. For tougher tasks like cutting ropes or fishing lines, use the serrated edge. The blunt tip can be used for food prep or small repairs near the river. When attaching the knife, make sure it's securely fastened to your PFD lash tab, deck bag, or belt. As for maintenance, after each use in freshwater, rinse the knife with clean water to prevent corrosion. Dry it thoroughly, especially the blade and the sheath. If the blade gets dull over time, you can sharpen it using a regular knife sharpener. Avoid using the knife for tasks it's not designed for, like prying extremely hard objects, to prevent damage to the blade.
