Rite Edge Rosewood Handle Miner Folding Knife

The Rite Edge Miner has a 3-inch satin blade and a rosewood handle, a traditional single-blade folder.

The miner's knife is an old working pattern, a plain folder with no bolsters or shield, made cheaply for men who needed an edge on shift and would not mourn losing it. The shape survives because there is nothing on it to break. Rosewood is dense and oily enough to resist moisture without finish, and it darkens with handling, so a knife carried for a season looks different from one in a drawer.

A satin finish on the blade keeps glare down and hides the fine scratches that a working knife picks up, where a mirror polish shows every one. Explore more Traditional Knives.
