SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Rider 250th Anniversary Congress honors a milestone in American history with classic folding knife craftsmanship and patriotic styling. Part of a special series celebrating 250 years of the United States, this traditional Congress combines collectible appeal with practical functionality, making it a versatile and attractive choice for enthusiasts and everyday users alike.
This Congress features dual blades—a Sheepsfoot and a pen—crafted from mirror polished 440 stainless steel, each etched with a commemorative anniversary design. Both blades operate on a slip joint mechanism and include a match strike pull for smooth, controlled opening that highlights traditional pocketknife character. The Sheepsfoot blade offers precise, straight-edge cutting for controlled tasks, while the pen blade provides versatility for everyday use and fine cutting work, giving the knife a balance of function and tradition in a compact package.
The handle combines Mother of Pearl with layered red and blue acrylic, creating a bold, patriotic appearance. Brass liners provide strength, while ringed nickel silver bolsters and nickel silver spacers reinforce the handle and add polished, timeless detail. An inlaid red, white, and blue color-filled nickel silver “America 250th” shield completes the celebratory motif, making the Congress both visually striking and collectible.
At 3.62 inches closed, the knife is compact and pocket-friendly while offering a secure, comfortable grip for controlled use. Rough Rider’s attention to traditional patterns, quality materials, and fine craftsmanship ensures this Congress delivers both functional performance and enduring collectible appeal, reflecting pride in American heritage.
