Description
Dexter Russell Traditional® 4½" Sheath Knife
The Dexter Russell Traditional® 4½" Sheath Knife is a compact fixed blade knife built for everyday field and camp utility. At 114mm, the blade is long enough to handle most tasks that come up outdoors — food prep, line cutting, light skinning work — while remaining short enough for comfortable carry in a belt sheath. The Traditional® (Green River) pattern is the same design professional butchers and outdoors people have relied on for over two centuries.
DEXSTEEL® high-carbon steel holds a keen working edge and resharpens easily on a whetstone or field steel, but it benefits from prompt cleaning and drying after use. The traditional wood handle gives a warm, secure grip in the hand for a wide range of light-duty cutting tasks.

Care Advice
Hand-wash and dry immediately after use. High-carbon steel will develop a patina over time — surface discolouration is normal and protective, but red rust should be cleaned promptly. A light food-safe oil during storage protects the blade between trips. Maintain the edge with a sharpening stone or honing steel.
