SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Rider 250th Anniversary Gunstock captures the grit, pride, and enduring spirit that define American history. Built as part of a collection honoring 250 years of the United States, this knife reflects the values of resilience and craftsmanship that have shaped the nation from its earliest days. It’s a traditional pattern with a patriotic edge, designed for those who appreciate both heritage styling and dependable performance.
Mirror polished 440 stainless steel blades give this Gunstock the strength to handle everyday cutting chores while maintaining excellent resistance to wear and corrosion. Each blade is marked with a commemorative anniversary etch, a subtle but meaningful detail that sets the series apart. The polished finish doesn’t just look sharp—it reinforces the knife’s hardworking character while lending it a collector-worthy presence. A classic slip joint mechanism delivers smooth operation and the reliable backspring tension enthusiasts expect from a traditional folder. At 3.75 inches closed, it offers a comfortable in-hand feel with a profile that slips easily into a pocket without weighing you down.
The handle construction elevates this knife well beyond the ordinary. Genuine Mother of Pearl brings natural depth and iridescence, ensuring no two knives are exactly alike. Bold blue and red acrylic accents frame the pearl with unmistakable patriotic color, while brass liners provide structural integrity you can count on. Ringed nickel silver bolsters and spacers add durability along with a refined finish that complements the knife’s classic lines. Completing the design is an inlaid red, white, and blue color-filled nickel silver “America 250th” shield—an eye-catching emblem that firmly roots the knife in this historic celebration.
