About this item

Bald Man Knife and Tool Thick-a-Tross Fixed Blade Knife, MagnaCut Steel

What happens when you cross a sleek, curved blade with a slab of extra-thick steel? You get the Thick-a-Tross from Bald Man Knife and Tool, a hybrid that borrows the sweeping profile of the Albatross and the heavyweight 3/16 inch stock of the Thicker Clipper. The 2.75 inch CPM MagnaCut blade is hardened to 63 HRC and set in a 7 inch overall frame, giving you a short, controllable edge backed by a full-size handle. It is a stout, overbuilt fixed blade for campers, outdoorsmen, and anyone who likes their knives thick and curvy. Available at Men’s Modern General Store.

Key Specs Brand: Bald Man Knife and Tool Model: Thick-a-Tross Blade Type: Fixed Blade Blade Length: 2.75" Overall Length: 7" Blade Thickness: 3/16" (about 4.8 mm) Blade Steel: CPM MagnaCut Hardness: 63 HRC

A Hybrid Built on Purpose

The Thick-a-Tross is not a mashup for the sake of novelty. The Albatross profile brings a graceful curve with generous belly, which makes slicing, skinning, and food prep smooth and efficient. The Thicker Clipper’s 3/16 inch stock turns that profile into something far tougher, with a stiff, rigid spine that will not flex under pressure. Together they create a knife that cuts with finesse and works with muscle.

Built Like a Much Bigger Knife

Most knives with a blade under three inches are light-duty tools. The Thick-a-Tross is the exception. Its thick stock and long 7 inch frame give it the backbone and grip of a larger outdoor knife, while the short blade stays precise and easy to manage. That combination shines for batoning small kindling, carving feather sticks, processing game, and tackling the tougher jobs around camp or the job site.

Premium Steel for Hard Use

CPM MagnaCut, created by metallurgist Larrin Thomas and produced by Crucible Industries, is one of the most well-rounded knife steels available. It offers excellent toughness, long-lasting edge retention, and outstanding corrosion resistance, so it holds up in wet, dirty, and demanding conditions with minimal upkeep. At 63 HRC, the Thick-a-Tross keeps a sharp edge through extended use and touches up cleanly when it needs it.
