Rough Ryder’s “Backwoods Bushcrafter” Stockman is a beautiful classic pocket knife that will only get better with age. The sawcut bone handles have copper pins, liners, bolsters, and a copper shield that all look great out of the box. The pinched bolsters also feature a slant R design, and the shield has the words “Rough Rider/Always Ready”. Over time, the oils in your hand alter the patina of the copper and give it true character unique to your knife.

The “Backwoods Bushcrafter” Stockman has three 440A stainless steel blades, one clip point, one sheepsfoot, and one spey. Each blade has a blackwash finish for a rugged look and contrast with the copper bolsters. The pinched bolsters also feature a slant R design. Each blade opens with a match strike pull. Unlike a standard nail nick or long pull, a match strike pull has serrations inside the groove of the pull. These serrations allow you to strike a match with your knife. The blades use the half stops and slip joints found in traditional pocket knives.

This knife is a stockman style knife. The stockman pattern originated in the 1880s, and had a spear point master blade. In 1900 the master blade became a clip point. The other blades are a sheepsfoot and spey. The clip point is best suited to everyday tasks like cutting food, the sheepsfoot for push cutting or sawing, and the spey for cutting flesh.

The “Backwoods Bushcrafter” Stockman is a perfect knife for a collector, or for use as an everyday carry. The copper and bone handles complement the blackwash blades right out of the box, and with use it becomes a one-of-a-kind knife unique to you.
