The Rough Ryder Classic Carbon II Pen Knife is a compact, refined take on a traditional pattern that’s been trusted for generations. Built for precision, portability, and everyday utility, this knife brings together heritage design and upgraded materials in a form that’s easy to carry and ready to work when you need it.
This model features a dual-blade configuration with a 2.37" clip point and 1.5" pen blade, both crafted from mirror polished T10 carbon steel. The clip point blade offers excellent control and versatility, making it ideal for detailed cuts, light utility work, and general everyday tasks. The pen blade complements it with a slimmer profile designed for fine, precise cutting where accuracy matters most. Together, these blades provide a balanced combination that handles a wide range of cutting needs without adding bulk.
T10 carbon steel is known for its ability to take on a razor-sharp edge and maintain it through repeated use, while still being easy to sharpen when needed. The mirror polished finish enhances the blades’ clean, traditional look while showcasing the quality of the steel. Each blade is equipped with a match strike pull, offering a secure grip for smooth manual opening and reinforcing the knife’s classic styling.
The slipjoint mechanism provides dependable backspring tension, holding each blade firmly in place during use while keeping operation simple and reliable. It’s a proven design that’s stood the test of time, favored for its straightforward function and ease of maintenance.
At just 3.25" closed and weighing only 1.8 ounces, this Pen Knife is built for effortless carry. It disappears into the pocket, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer a lightweight, low-profile everyday tool. Despite its compact size, it still offers a comfortable grip and enough cutting capability to handle daily tasks with confidence.
The handle is constructed from durable black Micarta, providing a textured surface that holds up well under use and develops character over time. Blue underliners and brass liners create a layered look that adds depth and contrast, giving the knife a distinctive visual edge. Nickel silver pins and embossed Slant R bolsters complete the build with strength and a polished, traditional finish.
Like all Rough Ryder knives, this Pen Knife is built by hand and backed for life, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship and long-term reliability. It’s a small knife with a big role, designed to deliver consistent performance in a timeless package.
