High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Rider Tobacco Bone Large Work Knife is built for those who expect their everyday knife to handle real work without complaint. This is a full-sized folder designed with purpose, blending classic styling with a strong modern locking mechanism. It’s the kind of knife that earns its place in your pocket by showing up ready whenever the job calls for it.
At the core of this knife is a 3.75-inch clip point blade made from 440 stainless steel. Known for its balance of hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, 440 stainless steel is well suited for a working blade that sees regular use. The clip point profile offers excellent versatility, with a sharp, controllable tip for precision tasks and a long cutting edge for slicing through rope, cardboard, leather, or food. A match strike pull adds extra grip when opening the blade and gives the knife a rugged, traditional touch that sets it apart.
Unlike traditional slipjoints, this knife uses a linerlock mechanism, providing added security during use. Once opened, the linerlock engages firmly to keep the blade in place, giving you confidence when tackling tougher cutting jobs. The action is smooth and deliberate, allowing for controlled one-handed operation while maintaining the solid feel expected from a true work knife.
The Tobacco Bone handle delivers both comfort and classic appeal. The warm, rich brown tones of the bone give the knife a time-tested look, with natural variations that add character to each piece. The handle fills the hand well, offering a secure grip during extended use. Nickel silver bolsters reinforce the ends of the handle, adding strength where it counts while providing a refined contrast to the darker bone scales.
Measuring 4.75 inches closed, the Rough Rider Tobacco Bone Large Work Knife offers a substantial feel without being unwieldy. It carries comfortably in the pocket and provides a confident, balanced grip when opened. This knife is built for ranch work, shop tasks, outdoor use, or everyday chores where a smaller blade just won’t cut it.
Whether you’re drawn to its classic materials or its dependable linerlock design, this knife delivers honest performance with traditional style. It’s a working man’s folder that doesn’t pretend to be anything else, and that’s exactly what makes it reliable.
