Rough Ryder DIY Small Lockback Folding Knife Kit

The Rough Ryder DIY Small Lockback Kit is perfect for those who want to take their knife ownership to the next level by building a custom piece from the ground up. Whether you’re an experienced knife enthusiast or just looking for a new challenge, this kit provides everything you need to craft a functional and reliable lockback knife. What sets this kit apart is the hands-on experience—you’ll transform raw materials into a fully assembled knife, learning how each component works together to create a piece that’s both practical and personal.

The heart of the kit is a 440A stainless steel clip point blade, known for its corrosion resistance and edge retention. The blade comes paired with a lockbar and backspring, ensuring that your knife will lock securely and function smoothly once assembled. With a 3-3/8" length when closed, the knife is compact and easy to carry, making it as functional as it is fun to build.

The wood handle provides a classic and customizable look, allowing you to finish it to your liking, while the nickel silver liners and attached bolsters offer durability and a touch of elegance. The kit also includes extra nickel silver pins, so you have all the materials required to complete the assembly. Each kit comes with step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process, so even if this is your first time, you’ll have everything you need to succeed.

Assembling your own knife not only gives you a deeper appreciation for its craftsmanship, but it also allows you to create a knife that’s truly your own. Once completed, you’ll have a Rough Ryder lockback that’s ready to tackle everyday tasks, all while carrying the pride of knowing you built it yourself. Order it today from Smoky Mountain Knife Works!
