Rough Rider Damascus Upswept Trapper Knife

The Rough Rider Damascus Upswept Trapper sets a clip and spey blade combination showing the distinctive layered pattern Damascus is known for, in real Damascus steel with a cinnamon jigged bone handle, nickel silver bolsters and an inlay shield.

Damascus steel is forged from repeatedly folded and welded steel layers, giving each blade its own naturally varied pattern from the forging process, so no two knives look exactly alike. The clip blade takes the everyday jobs, while the spey blade's flatter edge and rounded tip suits detail work and skinning tasks a pointed blade handles less cleanly, a proven pairing that's made the trapper one of the most enduring traditional patterns. Cinnamon jigged bone brings natural texture and warm coloration to the handle, and a lanyard hole rounds out the practical details for anyone who wants to add a cord or fob.

Each blade holds a nail nick for opening rather than a stud or a hole, secured by a slip joint, where spring tension does the work rather than a mechanical lock. Rough Rider's Damascus lineup gives collectors an accessible entry point into pattern-welded steel without the premium pricing custom Damascus work usually commands. Explore more Trapper Knives.
