The Rough Ryder Trapper Red Appaloosa Smooth Bone is a striking blend of heritage design and everyday practicality, built with the kind of attention to detail that has made Rough Ryder a trusted name in traditional knives. From its polished blades to its rich bone handle, this trapper is a fine example of craftsmanship that looks as good as it performs.
Equipped with two mirror-polished 440A stainless steel blades—a 3.27-inch clip point and a 3.25-inch spey—this knife handles a wide variety of daily cutting tasks with ease. Whether you're working outdoors, slicing cord, or simply opening packages, both blades offer excellent corrosion resistance and dependable sharpness. The clip point excels at detail work and piercing, while the spey blade provides controlled slicing power. A reverse-frosted etch on the main blade adds a touch of distinction that collectors and users alike will appreciate. Match strike pulls on each blade bring in that vintage charm, making opening smooth, easy, and reliable.
The handle is where this knife really shines. Made from red Appaloosa smooth bone, it showcases deep crimson tones with natural character and a touch of rustic flair. Each piece of bone is hand-finished to highlight its unique pattern and depth, offering a handle that feels warm and comfortable in the hand. Brass pins and liners add a golden warmth that contrasts beautifully with the handle’s bold color. Nickel silver ringed, pinched bolsters frame the handle with a polished accent, while a classic round nickel silver shield completes the traditional look.
At 4.13 inches closed and weighing 4 ounces, the Trapper Red Appaloosa offers a perfect balance of size and portability. The slim .06-inch blade thickness ensures it slips neatly into your pocket, ready for daily carry or light-duty work around the house, farm, or camp. Whether you're a knife enthusiast, collector, or just someone who appreciates a dependable tool with timeless style, this trapper delivers performance and pride in equal measure.
Like every Rough Ryder, this knife is built by hand and backed for life. That means real craftsmanship you can trust, with blades that are shaped and polished to last and handles fitted with care. This trapper is a great reminder that some things are still made the right way—with attention to every pin, grind, and finish.
