## Description

COLD STEEL ROACH BELLY KNIFE (CS-20RBC): Historically, the Roach-Bellied knife was a short blade with a pronounced upswept curve and a sharp point that saw popularity in 17th century Britain and the American Colonies. It was most likely named after the common Roach Fish, which had a similarly round curving belly. The Cold Steel model is a nod to the Black Powder Community, which has continued to appreciate the Roach Bellys economy, versatility and effectiveness. The hollow ground blade is made of sub-zero quenched German 4116 Stainless steel, expertly heat treated to RC 56-57, and given a sharp edge thats easy to maintain. Instead of the traditional wood handle, ours is made of a tough injection molded polymer, making the Roach Belly considerably more weatherproof than historical examples. The Roach Belly comes complete with a durable sheath, making it a breeze to carry all day or on extended hunting or camping adventures. SPECS: - Weight: 2.6oz; - Blade Thickness: 2.5mm; - Blade Length: 4-1/2in; - Blade Steel: German 4116 Stainless Cryo Quenched; - Handle Length/Material: 4in High Impact Polypropylene; - Overall Length: 8-1/2in; - Knife Type: Fixed Blade; - Steel Family: German Steels; - Blade Shape: Trailing Point.

Review: budget buy, for fishing, water activities - I mainly like to use carbon steel knives with scandi grinds for my outdoors activities, however I wanted to put together a knife based fishing tool kit. This way I would have all the tools I would normally need, right at my side at a moments notice. This knife fit the bill. Being stainless, I don't have to worry about rust from constantly being wet or covered in fish/bait guts. It also has a run of the mill complex bevel, which is good, because part of my kit includes a quick, easy to use smith and wesson sharpener When I'm out fishing, I don't want to break out stones and or rodes, I just want to run the knife through a basic sharpener a few times, and get back to work). Its got one of these injection molded type plastic handles. Because of this, and the stainless steel...when I get home from a trip, I just toss this thing in the dishwasher and it gets cleaned right up, no problem. Its got a lanyard, which is nice, so when I clean my knife off in the river, I don't have to worry so much about dropping it and loosing my knife. Its got a cheap cordura sheath, and I'm fine with that. I wouldn't want a nice sheath for it, because its going to get covered in guts and scales anyway. I've heard some complain about the steel...but hey...its a cheap stainless steel knife! Mine takes an edge fairly quickly using my little sharpener, and it holds fairly well considering. My kit includes (this knife obviously) my smith and wesson sharpener, attached to the knife sheath by ranger bands, a leatherman juice in pliers form with its sheath attached by clip and ranger bands to the knife sheath, and a mini measuring tape looped through the bottom of the knife sheath. Serves me well. Can't tell you about the tang, I just don't know, and I don't care, because this is not a rough use knife for me, no battoning or anything like that. I can tell you it feels good in the hand and is a mean slicer. It looks like they are going up in price, at least since I bought mine. If it gets over $15 I would say pass.
Review: Cold steel has never let me down. - This is on par with Mora. I think this is one of the best cheap knives ever made. Comes shaving sharp out of the box, and it takes and holds an edge shockingly well given the price. It is a perfect knock around knife. Put one in your boat and one in your truck. If you some how break it or lose it, it is dirt cheap to replace.
