The George Roscoe is a compact knife designed by Les George.
The design gives the impression of a more barebones Ka-Bar TDI meant more for utility. It has a wrench-style handle curved into pistol-grip orientation with a sheepsfoot blade.
Here are the quick specs:
- 1.8″ blade
- 425 steel (56 – 58 HRc)
- Celcon sheath
- Made in the USA
Maybe the most significant thing about the George Roscoe is that it’s made in America and dropping with a budget friendly price under $70. It’s also in the right size range to be a concealed carry or a fixed-blade EDC, although it doesn’t look like the sheath comes with any hardware.
This is the fourth fixed blade Les George has designed for Ka-Bar following the Cool Name series that came out back in August. It’s also on the heels of a few updates to their old models like the Warthog folder, which is now in D2 steel with a few ergonomic adjustments, and the Mark 25, which is an angular update to the Mark 98 (also updated to D2 steel).
To top that off their celebrating the 250th birthday of the Marine Corps with a limited edition Non-Commissioned Officer sword.
Both the NCO sword and the George Roscoe fixed blade are available on the Ka-Bar site right now.
