Rough Ryder Brass Lockback Folding Knife RR1978

The Rough Ryder Brass Lockback is a compact folding knife with timeless styling and reliable performance packed into a pocket-friendly design. At just 3.37 inches closed and weighing 2.5 ounces, it’s built to disappear in your pocket until it’s time to get to work. The 2.5-inch clip point blade is made from 440A stainless steel, offering dependable edge retention and corrosion resistance for day-to-day cutting tasks. A satin finish adds a clean, utilitarian look, and a traditional nail nick makes for easy two-hand opening.

The brass handle scales give this knife a solid, classic feel. Over time, they’ll develop a rich, natural patina that adds character and tells the story of how the knife is used. Stainless steel liners reinforce the structure without adding bulk, and a rear lanyard hole offers the option for neck carry, paracord attachment, or custom beadwork. The lockback mechanism provides secure blade lockup for light to moderate tasks, making it a great choice for hiking packs, toolboxes, or simply slipping into your jeans pocket.

This is a knife built to last, plain and simple. Whether you're cutting line in the field, opening boxes at home, or just reaching for something with a little more soul than a plastic utility blade, the Rough Ryder Brass Lockback delivers. And when you pick one up from Smoky Mountain Knife Works, you’re getting more than just a knife—you’re buying from the world’s best online knife store and supporting a Tennessee icon. Located in the Great Smoky Mountains, SMKW draws over 1.5 million visitors each year to the world’s largest knife showroom.

Remember, Rough Ryder is always built by hand and backed for life.
