Microtech Currahee Fixed Blade Knife Standard Edge Desert Tan T/E MT1031TA

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 strength, independence, and endurance is reflected in every detail of this rugged working knife.

This version of the Currahee features a 4.5" standard edge tanto blade crafted from premium Elmax steel, prized for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness in demanding conditions. The tanto blade profile provides impressive piercing strength and a reinforced tip that excels in hard-use tasks. Finished in durable Desert Tan coating, the blade offers added protection from wear and the elements while delivering a distinctive tactical appearance suited for field environments.

Built with full tang construction, the Currahee delivers the strength and reliability serious users demand. The Desert Tan polymer handle provides a secure, ergonomic grip designed to perform in wet, sandy, or gloved conditions. A lanyard slot at the base comes equipped with a braided cord lanyard and knocker bead, giving you extra retention and quick handling capability when the situation calls for it.

At 9.8" overall and weighing 13.35 ounces, the Currahee offers a balanced combination of size, strength, and control. It includes a heavy-duty ballistic nylon sheath that’s fully MOLLE compatible, making it easy to mount on packs, vests, or load-bearing gear for rapid deployment. Every Currahee is proudly made in the USA with the precision craftsmanship and rugged durability Microtech is known for.
