SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Ryder Synthetic Tortoise Shell Small Lockback delivers classic pocket knife styling with the added confidence of a secure locking mechanism. Built for those who appreciate traditional looks without giving up modern dependability, this knife is equally suited for daily carry or a well-rounded collection.
Its clip point blade is crafted from satin-finished 440B stainless steel, offering the strength, corrosion resistance, and edge retention needed to handle routine cutting tasks with ease. The shape provides excellent control for slicing and detail work, while the satin finish keeps the blade looking clean and work-ready. A match strike pull adds a heritage touch and ensures a firm grip when opening, blending vintage character with practical function.

The inlaid nickel silver horseshoe shield completes the handle with a distinctive accent that ties the entire design together.
Measuring 3.25 inches closed, this Small Lockback offers a comfortable balance between compact portability and confident handling. It slips easily into a pocket yet feels substantial enough for real-world tasks, making it a dependable companion wherever the day leads.
