The Backstrap

While most Bear Forest Knives are rugged and well-rounded outdoor knives, The Backstrap is engineered to be a precision cutting tool like a surgeon's scalpel. The engine behind this knife is the narrow upswept 6-inch long blade with a 1/16-inch thick blade and ultra-sharp Full Flat grind. A deep finger groove creates an integrated guard in the handle for a nonslip grip when innards/blood. The Backstrap is the knife to reach for when you need to fillet a fish or section up stew meat and veggies. Let's not forget the ever-so-prized elk and deer backstrap you painstakingly worked hard to obtain.  Overall Length: 10.187" Blade Length: 6" Thickness: .06” (1/16”) Steel: 52100 High Carbon 90-Degree Spine Grind: Full Flat Finish: Rock Tumbled Acid Wash Handle Scales: Linen Micarta and Micarta Pins Sheath: KYDEX® black (.080) U.S.A Made   Our knives are made of high-carbon steel and will stain/oxidize if not taken care of properly.
