Rough Ryder Old Southwest Congress Folding Knife

The Rough Ryder Old Southwest Congress Folding Knife is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, combining the timeless appeal of traditional design with the artistry of the Old Southwest. Part of the Rough Ryder Old Southwest Series, this knife is a tribute to both utility and aesthetic beauty. The Congress pattern features four blades—Sheepsfoot, spey, and two pen blades—all made from mirror-polished 440A stainless steel. Each blade is built to handle the demands of everyday tasks, from precision cuts to tougher jobs, while the reverse frosted "Old Southwest" embellishment adds a unique visual touch that sets this knife apart.

The handles are where the Old Southwest Congress truly shines. Grooved nickel silver scales provide the foundation, offering both durability and a touch of elegance. A genuine pearl inlay is the centerpiece, catching the light with its natural iridescence and adding a sense of refinement. Surrounding the pearl are cracked synthetic turquoise and jasper spacers, which bring a vibrant burst of color and texture that evoke the spirit of the Southwest. The handle design is completed with grooved nickel silver bolsters that also feature a cracked synthetic turquoise inlay, ensuring that every detail of this knife is carefully considered and beautifully executed.

At 3.75 inches closed and weighing 3.81 ounces, this Congress knife is compact and easy to carry, yet substantial enough to provide a comfortable grip and reliable performance. The half stops on each blade ensure smooth, controlled operation, while the match strike pulls allow for easy access to the blades whenever you need them. Whether you’re using it for everyday cutting tasks, adding it to your collection, or simply appreciating its design, this knife is a perfect balance of form and function.

Like all Rough Ryder knives, the Old Southwest Congress is built by hand and backed for life, giving you the confidence that this knife will serve you well for years to come. The intricate handle design, combined with the quality of the blades, makes this knife not just a tool but a work of art that you’ll be proud to carry. Find yours today from SMKW.com!
