The Rough Ryder Copper Folding Hunter is built for those who want a dependable working knife with a bold, refined edge. It carries the spirit of a traditional hunter while elevating the design with rich copper accents and a dark, hard-use blade finish. This is a knife that feels right at home in the field, around camp, or as a reliable everyday companion, delivering a balance of strength, control, and classic styling.
At its core, it features a 4" 440A stainless steel clip point blade finished in black stonewash. This rugged finish gives the blade a broken-in, work-ready appearance while helping to conceal scratches and wear from real-world use. The clip point profile offers excellent versatility, with a fine tip for precision tasks and a broad belly suited for slicing and general utility work. It’s a proven blade shape that continues to earn its place in hunting and outdoor knives for good reason—it simply performs.
The blade opens with match strike pulls, a traditional feature that adds both character and function. The textured pulls provide improved grip during opening, even in damp or cold conditions, while maintaining the classic slipjoint aesthetic. It’s a detail that reinforces the knife’s heritage-inspired design while still being practical for everyday carry.
The handle is crafted from black bone, offering a smooth yet substantial feel in hand. Its dark tone creates a strong visual contrast against the warm copper accents, giving the knife a striking and balanced appearance. Copper bolsters, pins, and a matching copper shield elevate the design with a rich metallic warmth that stands out without feeling overstated. Over time, these copper components will naturally develop a patina, deepening the knife’s character and making each piece unique to its owner.
At 5.25" closed, the Copper Folding Hunter carries with a solid, confident presence while still remaining manageable for pocket or pack carry. It has the proportions of a true working knife, offering enough size for serious tasks without sacrificing portability.
This is a slipjoint built with purpose and personality. It blends traditional hunting knife design with modern materials and a distinctive copper-accented aesthetic, making it equally suitable for field use or collection display. It’s a knife that feels honest, capable, and built to be carried and used for years to come.
