The Hudson’s Bay Roach is the largest and heaviest of the Trade knives.  It has a heavier, thicker blade well-suited for heavier camp and wilderness tasks such as chopping and shelter building, and would also do well as a butcher knife for larger game.  The ample belly on the blade (hence the name) also makes it ideal for skinning larger game.
