The Rough Ryder Copper Cub Lockback is a classic pocket knife built with timeless styling and a warm, evolving character that only gets better with use. It’s a knife that blends traditional form with rich material accents, creating a piece that feels equally at home in a collection display or carried daily in the pocket. From its copper-finished fittings to its smooth bone handle, every detail is designed to age gracefully and develop a one-of-a-kind patina over time.
The handle is crafted from smooth bone and accented throughout with copper pins, copper liners, copper bolsters, and a matching copper shield bearing the double R Rough Ryder logo. The bolsters feature pinched ends with an embossed ring, adding a subtle touch of refinement to the traditional profile. Right out of the box, the warm contrast between bone and copper gives the knife a rich, old-world character. As it’s carried and used, natural oils from the hand begin to influence the copper surfaces, gradually deepening the patina and making each knife unique to its owner.
At the heart of the Copper Cub Lockback is a 1.5" single 440A stainless steel blade finished in a blackwash coating. This finish adds a rugged, broken-in appearance while also providing practical wear resistance for everyday use. The contrast between the dark blade and warm copper accents gives the knife a bold, balanced aesthetic that feels both modern and traditional at the same time.
The blade features a wide spear point profile, offering excellent versatility for both piercing and slicing tasks. Its lowered point provides strong control, making it well-suited for detailed work where precision matters. Opening is handled with a match strike pull, a traditional feature enhanced with fine serrations inside the groove. These serrations not only improve grip during opening but also allow the knife to strike a match, adding a functional survival touch to its heritage design.
As a lockback, the blade locks securely into place when open, offering dependable safety during use. It releases smoothly via the lock on the back of the handle, allowing controlled closing when the job is done. This dependable mechanism reinforces the knife’s reputation as a practical, hardworking tool built for everyday carry. Its 2.5" closed.
The Rough Ryder Copper Cub Lockback stands as a refined blend of tradition, utility, and evolving character, making it a reliable companion for collectors and users alike.
