Columbia River Knife & Tool Inc. announced a range of new products this year. Among those are wooden training knives, tactical knives and a variety of other tools that hunters, outdoorsmen and others might find useful. Here is a look at three non-knife tools that the company is now offering.

Bivy

The Bivy is a riggers multi tool that was designed by speed climber Hans Florine. It is designed to be operated with one hand, which could be useful in regular activities in addition to emergencies where one hand is already occupied. By pressing a button, the pliers are deployed. The knife blade is held by a liner lock. Additional tools include screwdrivers and a marlinspike. The suggested retail price is $69.99.

Birler

If you need a compact axe, the Birler is one to consider. It was designed by Elmer Roush, a longtime blacksmith and veteran of the Vietnam War. Roush has an appreciation for the craft of making a quality axe and the undeniable necessity of having a reliable axe in the field. The overall length of the pack axe is 16″, and it weighs 10.3 ounces. The axe head is made of 1055 carbon steel, and the handle is made of hickory wood. The MSRP on this axe is $89.99. The axe was developed in the CRKT Forged by War program.
