The Rough Rider Hawkbill Blue Dragon Bone is a hard-working traditional folder built for users who appreciate practical cutting power wrapped in classic craftsmanship. It features a 3-inch 440 stainless steel hawkbill blade with a clean satin finish, a shape known for its impressive pull-cutting ability and controlled slicing. Whether you're trimming rope, opening feed bags, or doing precise utility work, the hawkbill profile gives you the leverage and efficiency needed for tough, downward cuts. The 440 stainless steel offers dependable edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance, making it a reliable companion for everyday tasks or field use. The match strike pull allows smooth, confident opening while preserving the old-school character of a traditional slipjoint folder.
This knife uses a slipjoint mechanism, giving it the kind of straightforward, no-nonsense operation that's been trusted for generations. It opens and closes with consistent tension, offering the simple reliability that experienced knife users respect. There's no complicated lock to manage—just a sturdy, well-built tool ready for work whenever you are.
The handle is crafted from striking blue jigged bone, a hallmark of Rough Rider’s Blue Dragon Bone series. The jigged texture provides a secure and comfortable grip, while the rich blue coloration gives the knife a distinctive and eye-catching appearance. Nickel silver bolsters frame the handle with added strength and refinement, and nickel silver pins reinforce the build without sacrificing style. The nickel silver shield inlay completes the traditional look, giving the knife a classic presence that feels right at home in a display case or a work jacket pocket.
At 4 inches closed, the Hawkbill Blue Dragon Bone strikes an ideal balance between compact carry and capable performance. It’s small enough to disappear into a pocket but substantial enough to feel dependable in hand. Every element—from the curve of the blade to the polished bone handle—reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and a commitment to functional artistry.
Whether you're a collector seeking unique traditional patterns or a user who needs a dependable cutting tool with performance-minded design, this Rough Rider hawkbill delivers rugged utility with standout style. It blends tradition, durability, and everyday practicality into a knife that’s ready for real work.
