Cold
Steel Roach Belly Knife. The
historical Roach Belly knife was a short blade with a pronounced upswept
curve and a sharp point. It was most likely named after the common Roach
Fish, which had a similarly round curving belly. Cold Steel's version retains
the profile of the original but incorporates the latest in modern materials
for its construction.
The hollow
ground blade is made of 4116 Krupp Stainless, expertly heat treated to Rc
56-57, and given a fine sharp edge that’s easy to maintain.
Instead
of the traditional wood handle, it's made of tough Polypropylene, so it’s
impervious to the elements and won’t swell, shrink, rot or crack the
way wood does. The Roach Belly comes with a deep pouch style black Cordura
sheath. It has a generously sized belt loop and also converts readily to
being worn as a neck knife. 4 1/2" blade, 8 1/2" overall.
