One of the biggest challenges in carrying a weapon for personal defense is finding a carry method that works all the time. The Para-Claw from Outdoor Edge solves this problem in a unique way by allowing safe deployment of a small, but very potent knife from the wrist. Regardless of the situation, the Para-Claw can always be accessed, even if you find yourself grabbed, choked, or in some other disadvantaged position.

The Para-Claw combines a paracord bracelet with a patent-pending buckle design that conceals a compact, extremely sharp 8Cr13MoV stainless steel hawkbill 1.5-inch blade with a Rockwell-C hardness of 57-58. The buckle locks the blade securely, yet allows it to be drawn quickly and easily. Once drawn, the body of the bracelet forms the knife handle allowing the blade to cut with surprising power for its size.

The Para-Claw was developed by a professional bounty hunter as a handgun retention tool that can be accessed, even in the middle of a violent struggle. While it’s not intended as a primary weapon, it offers advantages that no other knife can, advantages that could very well save your life.

The wrist-ready Para-Claw is available from Outdoor Edge for $29.95. For more information, please visit OutdoorEdge.com.
