The KA-BAR George Roscoe Fixed Knife delivers the kind of no-nonsense performance you’d expect from a collaboration between KA-BAR and award-winning custom knife maker Les George. Compact, sturdy, and purpose-built, the Roscoe is a forged EDC fixed blade designed to handle everyday cutting tasks with strength and precision. Its small footprint and solid steel construction make it a versatile companion that’s ready for anything, from opening boxes and trimming cord to field use and light-duty outdoor tasks.
Forged in the USA from 425 High Carbon Stainless Steel, the Roscoe combines durability with corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance. The full-steel handle and blade construction ensure a solid feel in hand, while the flat grind delivers a clean, controlled edge ideal for precision work. The Sheepsfoot blade profile offers excellent utility, providing both safety and performance by keeping the tip under control for fine slicing or scraping. With a Rockwell hardness of 56–58, it strikes a perfect balance between toughness and edge retention, making it a reliable everyday tool.
At just 0.15 pounds, the knife is lightweight enough for pocket or neck carry without sacrificing the robust feel of solid steel. The Roscoe’s compact 1.8-inch blade and 4.16-inch overall length make it easy to carry discreetly, while still offering plenty of cutting surface for daily use. Its clean, minimalist design reflects Les George’s hallmark style—functional, durable, and built for real-world performance.
The included Celcon® sheath complements the knife’s practicality with a secure, form-fitting design that ensures safe carry and quick access. Made in the USA, the sheath is lightweight, weather-resistant, and molded to fit the Roscoe perfectly, protecting both blade and user during transport. The Les George logo is proudly marked on the sheath, a subtle nod to the designer’s reputation for craftsmanship and attention to detail.
From its precision-forged stainless steel body to its dependable Celcon® sheath, every aspect of the KA-BAR George Roscoe Fixed Knife is engineered with function in mind. Whether you’re adding it to an EDC rotation, packing it in your kit, or appreciating it as a compact collector’s piece, the Roscoe stands as a modern testament to practical design and American manufacturing. Small but mighty, the KA-BAR George Roscoe packs full-sized toughness into a compact steel frame—precision-built and available at SMKW.
