Rite Edge Stockman Jigged Bone Folding Knife

The Rite Edge Stockman in jigged bone closes to 3.9 inches, its clip, sheepsfoot, and spey blades all polished stainless in the standard three-blade pattern, held shut with a slip joint.

Jigging is the textured, grooved pattern cut or pressed into the bone handle, both practical and decorative. It gives the grip more traction than smooth bone would while echoing the look of much older factory-made pocketknives. Bone as a handle material varies naturally from piece to piece, so no two knives in this run will show identical grain or coloring.

Of the budget Stockman options in the Rite Edge lineup, this bone-handled version is the one that leans hardest into a traditional, old-pattern look rather than a modern synthetic finish. Rite Edge sells this same three-blade pattern in several handle finishes, and the bone version tends to be the one collectors gravitate toward over the plain synthetic options elsewhere in the lineup. Jigged bone takes dye and handling differently than smooth bone does, which is part of why the texture reads as more traditional at a glance. Bone handles like this one need to be kept reasonably dry, since prolonged soaking can eventually affect the material in a way that a synthetic or metal handle wouldn't be bothered by at all. That's part of the appeal for buyers drawn to older, traditional patterns, since the imperfection reads as authenticity rather than as a flaw to be avoided. Explore more Stockman Knives.
