Roach Belly

The "Roach Belly", with its characteristic curved cutting edge, was an extremely popular style sold by most North American fur trading companies in the 17th and 18th centuries. A typical English kitchen knife of the period, it features a full tang with integral bolsters, antiqued bone scales and a richly browned, 5" carbon steel blade. 9" overall length and complete with a heavy leather sheath decorated with cross-hatched incising.
