Microtech Currahee Fixed Blade Knife Standard Edge Olive Drab Green S/E MT1021OD

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 blade crafted from premium Elmax steel, offering exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness in demanding conditions. The strong single-edge blade profile delivers versatile cutting performance with a reinforced tip suited for precision work and hard-use tasks alike. Finished in a durable Olive Drab Green coating, the blade gains added protection from wear and environmental exposure while maintaining a rugged, low-profile tactical appearance.

Built with full tang construction, the Currahee provides the strength and balance serious users demand. The Olive Drab Green polymer handle is engineered for a secure, comfortable grip that performs reliably in wet, muddy, or gloved conditions. A lanyard slot at the base comes equipped with a braided cord lanyard and knocker bead, giving you additional retention and quick handling capability when it matters most.

At 9.8" overall and weighing 13.35 ounces, the Currahee offers a confident balance of size and control. It rides in a heavy-duty ballistic nylon sheath that’s fully MOLLE compatible, allowing seamless integration with packs, vests, and tactical loadouts. Every Currahee is proudly made in the USA with the rugged craftsmanship and precision Microtech is known for.
