SHOP CASE KNIVESSKU: RR2688
The Rough Rider RR2688 is built for users who expect their everyday carry to work as hard as they do. At its core is a 3.5-inch reverse tanto blade crafted from D2 tool steel, a steel prized for its toughness, edge retention, and ability to stand up to demanding use. The reverse tanto profile delivers a strong reinforced tip for piercing while maintaining a long, effective cutting edge for slicing and utility work. A clean satin finish enhances corrosion resistance and gives the blade a refined, no-nonsense appearance.
Manual opening is smooth and deliberate thanks to the thumb hole, allowing fast, controlled deployment when timing matters. Once open, the stainless steel linerlock engages confidently, keeping the blade solidly in place during use. This dependable lockup adds peace of mind whether the knife is handling light daily tasks or heavier cutting jobs.
The handle features textured Coyote Tan G-10 scales that balance durability with lightweight strength. G-10 is known for its resistance to moisture, temperature changes, and wear, making it a smart choice for a hard-use folding knife. The textured surface provides a secure grip even in less-than-ideal conditions, helping maintain control during extended use. Stainless steel liners reinforce the frame, while the stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife ready for quick, convenient carry.
Measuring 4.5 inches closed, the RR2688 fits comfortably in the pocket without feeling bulky or cumbersome. It’s compact enough for everyday carry yet substantial enough to inspire confidence when put to work. This knife blends practical design, reliable materials, and straightforward styling into a tool that’s ready for daily duty.
