The Rough Ryder showcases a commitment to quality and tradition, seamlessly blending durable construction with a timeless aesthetic. Designed for both collectors and those in need of a dependable everyday carry, this knife is as functional as it is visually striking. It’s equipped with three versatile blades—a Sheepsfoot, a spear point, and a pen blade—each crafted from mirror-polished D2 Tool Steel. These blades offer remarkable edge retention and strength, making them ideal for a wide range of cutting tasks. The mirror polish not only enhances the steel’s natural beauty but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance, ensuring the knife’s longevity.
Opening each blade is made simple and smooth with match strike pulls, a feature that adds a touch of vintage style while remaining highly practical. This knife's handles are crafted from rich Tobacco smooth bone, a material prized for its deep, amber hues and classic appearance. The bone’s natural texture provides a comfortable grip while adding a rustic, elegant touch to the overall design. This blend of warm tones and traditional craftsmanship makes the handle a standout feature, marrying aesthetics with functionality.
Durability is further reinforced with brass pins and liners, which provide structural integrity and ensure the knife remains solid even with heavy use. The brass components contrast beautifully with the polished Tobacco bone, enhancing the knife’s visual appeal. Nickel silver bolsters are meticulously fitted to each end of the handle, adding a layer of toughness and a refined touch that speaks to the knife’s premium construction. These bolsters also complement the inlaid nickel silver shield, a symbol of Rough Ryder’s attention to detail and respect for traditional knife-making.
Measuring 3.75 inches when closed, the Rough Ryder is compact enough for comfortable pocket carry without sacrificing the practicality of a full-sized tool. At a lightweight 2.7 ounces, it’s designed to be unobtrusive yet always ready when you need it. This knife embodies the perfect balance of portability and functionality, making it an ideal companion for everyday tasks or a treasured piece in any knife collection. Order it today from SMKW!
