High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Ryder Synthetic Tortoise Shell Large Lady Leg stands out with a long, graceful profile that blends old-world elegance with everyday practicality. This pattern has a storied history, favored for its slim lines and extended handle that offers both visual appeal and a confident grip. It’s a knife that feels traditional at heart but fully capable of modern carry.
The clip point blade is crafted from satin-finished 440B stainless steel, delivering a strong balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Designed for controlled slicing and detail work, the blade performs reliably across daily cutting tasks without demanding extra maintenance. A match strike pull adds a familiar tactile element and reinforces the knife’s classic roots, making each open feel deliberate and secure.
Smooth synthetic tortoise shell handles give this Large Lady Leg its unmistakable character. Rich in tone and depth, they echo the look of vintage materials while offering the durability needed for regular use. Brass liners strengthen the frame from within, while nickel silver pins and ringed nickel silver bolsters provide bright contrast and structural integrity. The inlaid nickel silver horseshoe shield completes the handle with a traditional accent that adds personality without overpowering the design.
Measuring an impressive 5 inches closed, this knife offers excellent leverage and a comfortable hand feel, especially for users who prefer a longer handle. Despite its size, it carries surprisingly well thanks to its slender profile, slipping into a pocket with ease while remaining ready for work. It’s equally at home as a dependable daily tool or as a standout piece in a traditional knife collection.
