Columbia River CRKT 2842 Monashee Kommer Folding Hunter Knife Field Strip Technology

For a hunt in an iconic mountain range, only the best will do. This knife’s namesake — the wild Canadian Monashee Mountains — are home to animals that haunt big game hunters’ dreams. With a big-bellied blade and Field Strip, this hunting folder is a pack staple.

Don’t ask designer Russ Kommer whether he’d rather be hunting or in his Fargo, North Dakota shop designing his next hunting knife — that’s one that’s too close to call. He’s at the top of his game across the board, and the Monashee hunting folder is proof. With a long, curved stainless steel blade between a tough, highly-ergonomic thermoplastic handle, it comes up big in the field in front of a felled trophy. An ambidextrous thumb stud sends it into action and a locking liner keeps it in place when you’re elbows deep. If it starts to slow down, Field Strip comes in strong to restore it back to working order. 

Track down your next trophy with the Monashee by your side. 

How Field Strip Works

Field Strip technology lets you easily disassemble your knife for cleaning without tools. To disassemble, close the knife, push the front release lever up. Then spin the rear release wheel clockwise—once you feel the handle release, pull it up and away. Handle and blade come apart easily. To bring the knife back together, place the blade and handle into the closed position—press and hold the pivot. Once the pivot is seated correctly, rotate the release wheel counter-clockwise until snug. Push front lever down. The knife is restored to full working order.
