Rough Ryder Tater Skin Pocket Chopper Folding Knife RR2339

The Rough Ryder Tater Skin Series brings together classic pocketknife craftsmanship and playful, eye-catching design, and the Rough Ryder Tater Skin Pocket Chopper is one of the most distinctive offerings in the lineup. Built for everyday carry enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates functional tools with personality, this knife blends utility, durability, and unmistakable Rough Ryder charm. From its versatile blade configuration to its uniquely textured handle, the Tater Skin Pocket Chopper is designed to stand out while still delivering reliable performance you can count on.

At the core of this knife are its 440 stainless steel blades, known for their dependable balance of corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and everyday toughness. The Pocket Chopper features a clip point blade paired with a mini tomahawk-style blade, giving users multiple cutting and chopping options in a single folding knife. Whether you’re opening packages, trimming rope, tackling light camp chores, or simply enjoying the novelty of a compact chopper-style blade, this combination offers versatility that goes beyond a traditional pocketknife. Both blades feature match strike pulls, adding a classic touch that enhances grip and accessibility, even when wearing gloves or working in less-than-ideal conditions. The satin finish not only looks clean and refined but also helps hide minor wear from regular use, making it a practical choice for everyday carry.

What truly sets the Rough Ryder Tater Skin Pocket Chopper apart is its handle. Crafted from brown burlap Micarta, the handle has a rich, earthy tone and a textured feel that’s both comfortable and secure. Micarta is widely respected in the knife world for its durability, moisture resistance, and excellent grip, making it ideal for daily use in a variety of environments. The burlap layering gives the handle a warm, organic appearance that lives up to the “Tater Skin” name—deliciously reminiscent of a warm baked potato fresh out of the oven. Beyond its visual appeal, the handle is built to perform, providing a confident hold whether you’re using the clip point blade for precision cuts or the mini tomahawk for more robust tasks.

In terms of size and carry, the Tater Skin Pocket Chopper strikes a balance between presence and portability. Measuring 5 inches closed and weighing 7.97 ounces, it has a solid, substantial feel in hand without being unwieldy. The weight adds to its sense of durability and strength, while the overall size ensures it still fits comfortably in a pocket or gear bag. This makes it a great option for users who want a knife that feels rugged and capable but remains practical for everyday use.

As with all Rough Ryder knives, quality craftsmanship is a defining feature. Each knife is built by hand, reflecting the brand’s long-standing commitment to traditional knife-making values. This attention to detail ensures consistency, reliability, and a level of character that mass-produced tools often lack. Even better, Rough Ryder backs every knife for life, giving buyers peace of mind and confidence in their purchase. Whether you’re a seasoned knife user or just starting a collection, that lifetime backing speaks volumes about the brand’s dedication to its customers.
