SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Ryder Classic Micarta Folding Hunter is a hardworking, no-frills knife that blends traditional style with field-ready performance. Built by Rough Ryder Knives, this folding hunter is made to be used, not just admired. It features a 4-inch clip-point blade crafted from 440A stainless steel, delivering a reliable edge with excellent corrosion resistance and easy maintenance. The satin finish on the blade gives it a clean, utilitarian look that suits serious fieldwork, whether you're skinning game, cutting cord, or tackling daily carry tasks.
The blade opens with a match-strike pull and includes a half-stop for added safety and control. Once fully opened, a sturdy liner lock snaps into place, offering dependable blade retention and confident handling. It's a classic folding knife mechanism reimagined with modern materials and tighter tolerances.
The handle is made from green canvas Micarta laid over black liners—a rugged composite praised for its resistance to moisture, grit, and wear. Whether you're using it in wet conditions or dusty backcountry, Micarta holds strong and gets better with time. Stainless steel liners, brushed stainless bolsters, and nickel silver pins add strength and structure without excess weight. A distinctive Rough Ryder shield adds just enough style to match its sturdy build.
At 5 inches closed and weighing around 5.76 ounces, this knife has the size and heft of a serious tool while remaining pocketable. The handle is shaped to fill the hand and provide a solid grip, while the ambidextrous design makes it equally functional for right- or left-handed users. Built by hand and quality-checked at every stage, the fit and finish on this model are consistently praised by users. From the confident snap of the lock to the clean lines of the blade grind, this knife proves that traditional folders still have a place in the field. Get your Rough Ryder at SMKW!
