SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Rider Buckshot Bone Small Work Knife is built for those who demand dependable performance from a compact, everyday folder. Designed as a versatile working knife, it combines traditional styling with modern construction, delivering a tool that’s as reliable in the field or shop as it is comfortable in the pocket. It’s a no-nonsense knife that balances classic appeal with practical functionality.
At the heart of this folder is a 2.75-inch clip point blade made from 440 stainless steel. Renowned for its corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and solid edge retention, 440 stainless steel is ideal for a hardworking everyday knife. The clip point design provides a sharp, precise tip along with a generous cutting edge, making it perfect for opening boxes, cutting rope, trimming materials, or handling light outdoor and shop tasks. The blade opens with a match strike pull, adding tactile feedback and a nod to traditional pocketknife mechanics that gives each deployment a satisfying feel.
This knife features a linerlock mechanism, ensuring the blade stays securely open during use. The linerlock engages smoothly and releases easily, offering confidence when performing tasks that require more control. This modern locking feature paired with the compact form factor makes the knife practical for daily carry while maintaining the classic look and feel of a traditional folder.
The handle is crafted from Buckshot Bone, providing warm tones and natural variation that make each knife unique. The bone scales offer a comfortable, secure grip while maintaining rugged durability for everyday tasks. Nickel silver bolsters reinforce the ends of the handle, adding strength where it counts and giving the knife a classic, timeless appearance that complements the natural bone scales.
Measuring 3.5 inches closed, the Rough Rider Buckshot Bone Small Work Knife carries easily in a pocket or pouch while still offering a full, confident grip when open. It’s a compact, dependable companion that delivers the right balance of traditional design, modern performance, and rugged style. Whether you’re a collector of classic patterns or someone looking for a reliable small folder, this knife stands ready for work whenever it’s needed.
