RoseCraft Obed Creek Bow Trapper Vintage Red Jigged Bone 14C28N Drop Point Slip Joint Folding Knife (4.12" Closed) RCT015-RJB

Built for pocket carry and farm chores, the RoseCraft Obed Creek Bow Trapper in Vintage Red jigged bone pairs a stainless 14C28N drop point with a firm pull. It is a traditional pocket knife that handles general cutting chores with ease.

• 14C28N Drop Point Blade - 14C28N is a mid-grade stainless chosen for corrosion resistance which comes back to sharp on a basic stone, trading away some of the edge retention harder tool steels give you. A heavy swedge thins the tip for detail work under a brushed satin finish.
• Red Jigged Bone Covers - Deep red bone, jigged by hand one cover at a time. No two knives wear the same pattern. Brushed steel bolsters and a spade shield keep the look traditional, and the jigging gives dry or gloved fingers something to bite into.
• Half Stop Slip Joint Action - A firm nail nick pull and a single steel backspring put a hard snap on both ends of the swing. The half stop catches the blade dead center for safer closing and the crisp walk and talk that traditional fans chase.
• Hand-Pinned & Twice Checked - RoseCraft precision cuts and grinds the parts, then a craftsperson assembles, fits and pins each knife with a hammer and hand tools, hafts the covers flush to the bolsters, and sharpens the blade by hand. Every knife is opened and checked twice, at the factory and again in Maryville, Tennessee.

The RoseCraft Obed Creek Bow Trapper

The RoseCraft Obed Creek Bow Trapper is an original Andy Armstrong pattern, a one bladed take on the trapper that he has reshaped across several versions. The bowed frame carries more curve than a standard trapper and fills the palm instead of sitting flat across it. RoseCraft designs in Maryville, Tennessee, and builds the pattern as a working traditional rather than a shelf piece, with a brushed satin blade and a half stop on the backspring. It is the kind of knife that comes out for a feed sack, a length of baling twine, and whatever else the morning turns up.
