The Rough Rider Swayback in Yellow combines three blades on the distinctive swayback handle shape, mirror-finished carbon steel pen, wharncliffe, and spear blades fitted to a yellow synthetic handle with nickel silver bolsters and an inlay shield, part of the Classic Carbon series.
The swayback pattern gets its name from the handle's distinctive curved, dipping spine, a recognizable silhouette that sets it apart from straight-backed traditional patterns. The wharncliffe blade holds a straight cutting edge that curves only near the tip, well suited to controlled push cuts, while the pen blade handles fine detail work and the spear blade adds piercing capability a curved edge handles less cleanly. Carbon steel takes a sharp edge and is straightforward to resharpen, though it demands more regular attention to stay rust-free than stainless would.
Opening is by nail nick, the way these have always worked, and each blade is backed by a slip joint, its spring tension standing in for a mechanical locking bar. Rough Rider's Classic Carbon series brings traditional steel to a distinctive three-blade swayback pattern. The Classic Carbon series has developed a following among collectors who prefer real steel character over modern stainless. Explore more Specialty Knives.
