Product Details

We've improved on the original 1934 design of this knife with a new finger groove for better grip and a 5Cr15 stainless-steel blade that retains an edge.

  • Blade:: 4¼".
  • Handle:: 4½".

Our founder, Leon Leonwood Bean, described this knife as "great for cleaning game fish and very handy for general camp and home use." This improved version holds true to its heritage while featuring modern improvements like a finger groove for better grip and a durable 5Cr15 stainless-steel blade.

  • Durable full-tang design with blade made from easy-to-sharpen 5Cr15 stainless steel.
  • Three brass rivets reliably hold the handle to the tang.
  • Same rosewood handle with L.L.Bean logo as the original from 1934.
  • New finger groove allows better grip and positioning.
  • Includes genuine leather belt sheath.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect field knife - - - I bought this knife for me. I have used it to filet, to skin hogs and for anything in between. My wife borrowed it and decided to keep in her knife drawer in the kitchen. I ordered another - gave her the new one - then got my old knife back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great outdoorsman knife Great field knife. Holds edge well. Use this knife ice fishing, breasting out wild turkey, waterfowl and upland game.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from L.L.Bean should put the blade in the sheath. The two I received which I only opened one box the knife would not fit in the sheath so I returned both.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Grandsons - like this knife. I have this knife, and find it to be the perfect field knife, manageable in size, stays sharp, limber enough to filet a fish and tough enough to cut rope or use around the camp fire. I bought one for each of my grandsons.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful Knife and Sheath Sturdy filet knife for trout. Just needs a sharpening every now and then, like any other knife. Classic knife.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from SO DISAPPOINTED Have been using my grandmother's and mother's Bean's trout knives since I was a kid. Have worn about 5 to a skinny short blade since 1970 wedding present from Mom and it was time for another new one. Old carbon steel blades from 1930s through the 90s (?) get razor sharp. Even stainless blade of Chicago Cutlery Bean's knife purchased in the early 2000's are pretty good after sharpening. THIS WON'T CUT A TOMATO without smooshing it. Won't penetrate a plastic sausage roll wrapper without a point-pierce first. Sharpened and sharpened and sharpened... Older knives will bite your finger if you even get close...this one won't even penetrate when you lay it on...

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Made in china Can llbean not find a USA manufacture to make this simple knife? I bought this knife to carry on my fishing trips. I wanted something simple and long lasting but not made in China.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from What a shame! It is a shame that L.L. Bean could not see their way clear to provide a quality sheath with this knife. The knife itself is decent enough but the sheath screams CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!
