Rough Ryder Classic Carbon II Bow Trapper Folding Knife RR2212

The Rough Ryder Classic Carbon II Bow Trapper Folding Knife brings together a bold traditional profile and upgraded materials, delivering a dependable working knife with a refined edge. Built on the trusted Bow Trapper pattern, this knife offers the size, balance, and versatility that seasoned users expect, while elevating the design with layered handle construction and high-performance carbon steel blades.

This model features a dual-blade configuration with a clip point and skinner blade, both crafted from mirror polished T10 carbon steel. The clip point blade provides excellent control and precision, making it ideal for detailed cutting tasks and general utility work. The skinner blade adds a broader cutting edge, well-suited for slicing, processing, and draw cuts where more surface contact is needed. T10 carbon steel is known for its ability to take a razor-sharp edge and hold it through repeated use, while still being easy to maintain with routine sharpening.

Each blade is equipped with a match strike pull, offering a traditional look and a reliable grip for smooth manual opening. The slipjoint mechanism ensures consistent backspring tension, keeping the blades secure during use while maintaining the straightforward operation that defines classic folding knives. It’s a system built on simplicity and proven performance.

At 4" closed and weighing 4 ounces, the Bow Trapper delivers a solid, confident feel in hand without sacrificing carry comfort. Its curved frame fills the palm naturally, providing a steady grip during extended use, while still riding comfortably in the pocket when not in use. This balance makes it a strong choice for both everyday carry and more demanding cutting tasks.

The handle is constructed from durable black Micarta, offering a textured surface that holds up well under use and develops character over time. Blue underliners and brass liners create a layered visual effect, adding depth and contrast that sets this knife apart from more traditional builds. Nickel silver pins and embossed Slant R bolsters provide strength and a polished finish, reinforcing the knife’s structure while enhancing its overall aesthetic.

As with all Rough Ryder knives, this Bow Trapper is built by hand and backed for life, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship and long-term reliability. It’s a knife designed to work hard, age well, and remain a trusted part of your gear for years to come.
