SlicKnives Curve 4.5 - Brown

$120.00

SlicKnives’ founder bumped into a basic straight back roach belly-profiled knife years ago and fell in love with its simplicity and wonderful game processing capabilities.  The Curve 4.5 TM is part of our Premium SlicKnives series with a blade profile based on the early American colonial patterns that, due to the low cost to make it at that time, were common back in the day and loved by trappers, hunters, scouts, and pioneers during Americans’ westward migration.  

The beauty of the Curve 4.5 isn’t only tied to its ability to skin and process meat with its long-curved belly, but it’s super-slicey profile is a wonderful choice for general food preparation in camp or in the kitchen.  And it's a wonderful bird and trout knife.  Whether you use it for processing game or for slicing veggies to put in your stew, you’ll love the Curve 4.5!

Designed in the U.S. and made from German Bӧhler N690co stainless steel by our expert knife making partners in Albacete, Spain, you’ll be able to rely on an edge that holds up for all your slicing needs.  The 4.5” blade length and slim grip will help you perform fine tasks in an easy-to-maneuver nimble profile. 

The Curve 4.5 comes out of the box super-sharp with a hollow grind and a secondary beveled edge for strength and years of service.  We’ve included jimping along the spine in front of the Ricasso for sure handling.  And since it’s made with quality German stainless steel, you won’t need to worry about the edge or blade corroding when it’s not in use.

Brown micarta with a thin black liner next to the full-tang blade provides a slim and grippy, hand-sculpted foundation that’s sure to please, even when it gets wet.  The ergonomic grip is mounted with two sets of stainless screws and includes space in the handle for a safety cord / lanyard or length of brightly colored paracord.

The premium dark brown leather sheath is hand-fitted to protect your Curve 4.5 allowing for vertical belt carry keeping it ready for the next task or for protecting the blade and your gear if you prefer to carry it in your pack instead.
