SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Rider Cotton Sampler Blue Dragon Bone Folding Knife blends classic pocketknife tradition with eye-catching character and dependable everyday performance. Built in the time-honored cotton sampler pattern, this folding knife offers multiple cutting edges in a compact, pocket-friendly form that’s been trusted by outdoorsmen, ranch hands, and collectors for generations. It’s a practical tool with a strong visual identity, designed to work hard while still standing out when it’s time to show it off.
Each blade is crafted from 440A stainless steel, a proven material known for its corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and reliable edge retention for daily cutting tasks. The 3-inch clip point blade delivers excellent control and a fine, piercing tip that’s well suited for detail work, slicing, and light-duty utility. With a slim 1/16-inch blade thickness, the knife cuts cleanly and efficiently without unnecessary bulk, making it a solid choice for everyday carry or light outdoor use.
The handle is where this knife really makes its mark. Blue dragon bone scales bring bold color and traditional jigging together in a way that feels both rugged and refined. The textured surface offers a secure grip, even during extended use, while giving the knife a distinctive look that sets it apart from standard pocketknives. Brass liners add warmth and strength to the frame, reinforcing the knife’s classic construction and long-term durability.
Nickel silver pins, ringed bolsters, and shield enhance the overall fit and finish, adding subtle contrast and a polished touch without sacrificing toughness. These traditional materials don’t just look good; they’ve been trusted for decades to hold up under real-world use. A built-in lanyard hole adds carry versatility, letting you secure the knife to your gear or personalize it with a fob or cord.
Measuring 4-1/8 inches closed, the Rough Rider Cotton Sampler slips easily into a pocket, pack, or tackle box, ready when you need it and unobtrusive when you don’t. Made in China to Rough Rider’s specifications, this knife delivers dependable performance and classic styling at a value that’s hard to beat. Whether you’re adding to a collection or looking for a traditional folder that won’t let you down, this knife earns its place in your rotation.
