The Roach-Belly knife, historically popular in 17th century Britain and the American Colonies for its short, upswept blade and sharp point resembling the curving belly of the Roach Fish, inspired Cold Steel's model, paying homage to its economical, versatile, and effective design favored by the Black Powder Community. Cold Steel's version features a hollow ground blade made from sub-zero quenched German 4116 stainless steel, heat-treated to RC 56-57 for a sharp and easily maintainable edge. Unlike traditional wooden handles prone to weather damage, this knife's tough injection molded polymer handle ensures durability against swelling, shrinking, rotting, or cracking. Complete with a durable polymer sheath, the Roach Belly is ideal for carrying throughout the day or on extended hunting and camping expeditions.
