SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Ryder Slide-Lock Ball Bearing Folder in Brown G-10 is a compact, high-performance tool built for everyday reliability and confident control. Lightweight and fast, this knife brings together rugged materials and smooth mechanics in a no-fuss design that’s ready for hard use or light duty alike. Whether it’s your go-to EDC or a backup blade you count on, this folder won’t disappoint when it matters most.
At the core is a 2.75" modified Wharncliffe blade made from tough D2 tool steel—known for excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and a hardworking, no-nonsense attitude. The satin finish gives it a clean, refined appearance without compromising the raw utility of the steel. Designed with utility in mind, the blade shape provides a straight cutting edge and strong tip, perfect for slicing tasks, controlled cuts, or precision work in tight spots.
Opening is fast and fluid thanks to the ball bearing pivot system and flipper tab. Just a flick of the finger and the blade snaps into place with authority. Once deployed, the slide lock mechanism keeps the blade secure and steady, offering smooth, one-handed operation and easy closing when the work is done.
The 4" brown G-10 handle delivers a confident grip without excess bulk. G-10 is well-known for its durability and weather resistance, giving you all-conditions control with a textured surface that won’t slip when things get tough. At just 2.1 ounces, this knife practically disappears in the pocket, yet it still offers a solid feel and reliable function. A tip-up pocket clip ensures comfortable, discreet carry and quick access whenever you need it.
With a sleek profile, excellent materials, and modern locking mechanism, this Rough Ryder folder is designed to meet the demands of everyday use without slowing you down. It’s sharp, smooth, and built to last—all in a package that rides light and performs heavy. Order it today from SMKW!
