SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Ryder Tortoise Shell Sowbelly Folding Knife combines elegance and durability in a design that’s as functional as it is eye-catching. This knife is part of the Rough Ryder Tortoise Shell Series, known for its high-quality materials and timeless aesthetics. At the heart of this knife are three versatile blades: a clip point, Sheepsfoot, and spey blade, each made from 440B stainless steel. These blades are built for toughness and longevity, with excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The satin finish adds a touch of refinement, while the match strike pulls ensure smooth and easy access to each blade.
The real beauty of the Tortoise Shell Sowbelly lies in its handle. Crafted from imitation tortoise shell, the handle has a rich, warm look that evokes the natural elegance of the material it’s named after. The tortoise shell pattern gives the knife a distinctive, classic appearance, while the brass liners add strength and rigidity to the frame. Nickel silver pins and bolsters complement the handle’s design, adding to the knife’s overall sturdiness and appeal. The special nickel silver tortoise shell shield is a striking touch, setting this knife apart from the rest.
At 3.75" closed and weighing just 2.6 ounces, the Tortoise Shell Sowbelly is compact enough to carry comfortably in your pocket, yet it feels substantial enough in hand to tackle any task. Whether you’re using the clip point blade for precision cuts, the Sheepsfoot for slicing, or the spey blade for sweeping, this knife has you covered. The combination of traditional design and modern materials makes this knife a reliable tool that’s ready for everyday use and beyond.
