Microtech Currahee Fixed Blade Knife Blackout Standard Edge S/E MT1021

Built for uncompromising performance, the Microtech Currahee is a field-proven fixed blade rooted in American military heritage. Originally designed years ago for the U.S. Special Forces Boat Team 20, the Currahee carries a name steeped in history. “Currahee” is a Cherokee word meaning “stands alone,” and it’s also the name of the final mountain in the Blue Ridge range near Camp Toccoa, where the U.S. Army trained the first Parachute Infantry during World War II. That spirit of resilience, independence, and endurance is reflected in every aspect of this rugged working knife.

This version of the Currahee features a 4.5" standard edge drop point blade crafted from premium Elmax steel, delivering exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness in demanding conditions. The drop point profile provides excellent versatility with strong slicing capability and a durable tip for controlled precision work. Finished in a rugged black coating, the blade gains added protection from wear and environmental exposure while maintaining a low-profile tactical appearance.

Built with full tang construction, the Currahee provides the strength and balance serious users rely on in the field. The black polymer handle is engineered for a secure, comfortable grip that performs reliably in wet, muddy, or gloved conditions. A lanyard slot at the base includes a braided cord lanyard and knocker bead, offering additional retention and quick handling capability when it matters most.

At 9.8" overall and weighing 13.35 ounces, the Currahee delivers substantial durability without sacrificing control. It rides securely in a heavy-duty ballistic nylon sheath that’s fully MOLLE compatible, allowing seamless integration with packs, vests, and tactical gear. Every Currahee is proudly made in the USA with the rugged craftsmanship and precision Microtech is known for.
