SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Ryder Black Appaloosa 30th Anniversary Spade Shield Doctor's Knife is a tribute to thirty years of Rough Ryder craftsmanship and tradition. This unique folding knife is part of the Black Appaloosa collection, a series designed to showcase the best of Rough Ryder's hand-built quality while celebrating their legacy. With its classic doctor's knife design, this knife offers more than just a cutting tool—it’s a piece of history that reflects both timeless elegance and rugged functionality.
The blade is crafted from mirror-polished stainless steel, ensuring a sharp, durable edge that’s ready for precision work. The match strike pull adds a touch of vintage charm, making the knife not only practical but also steeped in tradition. The polished surface of the blade enhances its visual appeal, catching the light with every use, while also providing excellent corrosion resistance, so you know it’s built to last.
One of the standout features of this knife is its stunning handle, made from smooth gray and white bone. The blend of these two tones evokes the spirit of the Appaloosa horse, known for its distinctive spotted coat, which is echoed in the natural beauty of the bone. Each handle is unique, with its own character and pattern, making every knife in the Black Appaloosa collection a one-of-a-kind piece. The handle is accented by ringed nickel silver bolsters that give the knife a refined look while adding durability and strength to its overall construction. The brass liners and nickel silver pins further enhance the knife's structural integrity, ensuring it holds up through years of use.
At the heart of the design is a special spade-shaped nickel silver shield, a symbol of Rough Ryder's dedication to quality and craftsmanship. This shield not only sets the knife apart visually but also marks it as a commemorative piece, celebrating thirty years of Rough Ryder excellence. Measuring 3.75" closed, the knife is compact and easy to carry, making it a practical addition to any collection or everyday carry kit.
