Ka-Bar George Roscoe 425HC Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Knife (1.80" Blade) 7704

Forged from one billet of 425HC stainless, the Ka-Bar George Roscoe is a stout pocket-size EDC fixed blade with a finger ring that locks the hand in for push cuts and detail work. The molded sheath allows for in-pocket or neck carry.

• One-Piece Forged Build - Blade and handle come from a single piece of forged stainless, so there is nothing pinned, bonded, or bolted to work loose. The spine runs thicker than three stacked quarters, which is absurd for a knife this small and is exactly the point.
• 425 High Carbon Stainless Steel - Shakes off rust and takes a fresh edge on a basic stone in a few minutes, which suits a knife that gets used and forgotten. It gives up some edge life to premium steels, so plan on touching it up more often than you would a super steel.
• Spine Thumb Ramp - Gives your thumb a flat, grippy place to lean when you push the sheepsfoot edge through cardboard, webbing, or tape. That leverage is where the short blade earns its keep, since the straight edge stays in full contact instead of rocking off the cut.
• Polymer Sheath - Snaps in with firm, audible retention, so you know the knife is seated without looking down. The molded shell is USA made and light enough to hang from a neck cord all day or ride flat in a pocket as a backup.

The Ka-Bar George Roscoe

The Ka-Bar George Roscoe is a ring knife small enough to live in a pocket, drawn by Les George with a pistol-grip handle at a size where compact fixed blades usually settle for a flat slab. Handle and blade come out of one forged billet, uncommon in production knives of any size. Ka-Bar is among the few American companies still doing this type of drop-forged knife production. The sheepsfoot profile keeps the tip low and controlled, which is what you want for opening, scraping, and cutting with this type of fixed blade. Each one carries both a Ka-Bar and George tang stamp.
