Brass liners reinforce the knife’s structure and provide long-lasting support, while nickel silver pins and bolsters add both strength and visual contrast. Completing the design is a special nickel silver tortoise shell shield, a distinctive touch that highlights the knife’s place in the Rough Ryder Tortoise Shell Series.
