Information
Matt Degnan's legendary design gets a robust, heavy-duty evolution with the Roach XL. Maintaining the iconic 3.5" blade length of the original, this version accentuates the knife's stellar ergonomics with a massive, contoured pistol grip handle in Micarta that offers unyielding grip in any climate. Built to dominate tough tasks, it now features two distinct zones of strategic jimping along the blade spine, giving you unprecedented control and choked-up leverage no matter how you grip it. The hand-hugging curves and signature deep finger choil return, allowing you to choke up for precision or utilize the full grip for maximum leverage. The wide, black PVD stonewashed 14C28N drop point blade deploys with addictive smoothness on a bearing pivot via either the flipper tab or the thumb hole. Locked securely by Kizer's rock-solid Button Liner Lock and equipped with a reversible deep-carry clip, the Roach XL is a beast of a folder that commands respect on any job site.
