SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Rider 250th Anniversary Trapper celebrates a historic milestone in American history with traditional craftsmanship and patriotic styling. Part of a special series honoring 250 years of the United States, this knife blends collectible appeal with practical functionality, making it a standout addition for enthusiasts and everyday users alike.
This trapper features dual blades—a clip point and a spey—crafted from mirror polished 440 stainless steel with a commemorative etch that highlights the anniversary theme. Both blades operate on a slip joint mechanism and include a match strike pull, providing smooth, controlled deployment with a nod to classic pocketknife tradition. The clip point delivers precision cutting and piercing ability, while the spey blade offers a broad edge ideal for slicing and utility work, making this knife versatile for a range of tasks.
The handles are a striking combination of Mother of Pearl layered with vibrant blue and red acrylic, giving the knife a bold, celebratory appearance. Brass liners add strength and durability, while ringed nickel silver bolsters and nickel silver spacers reinforce the handle and provide a polished, timeless look. An inlaid red, white, and blue color-filled nickel silver “America 250th” shield completes the patriotic motif, making the knife visually distinctive and highly collectible.
At 4 inches closed, the Trapper offers a compact yet substantial feel in hand, balancing ease of carry with a secure grip for reliable use. Every detail reflects Rough Rider’s dedication to producing traditional knife patterns with quality materials and a sense of pride in American heritage.
