I got the Rough Rider Bow Trapper as a gift for my father, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. It has that classic look he’s always loved — the kind of traditional pocketknife design he carried for years. The handle material looks fantastic, with a smooth, well-finished feel that gives it real character.
The slip joint action is smooth and firm, just the way it should be. It’s easy to open yet has that solid snap that makes you feel the quality. The blades came sharp and ready for work, and it’s clearly built to handle everyday tasks with ease.
It’s the perfect knife for a hard-working man — tough, reliable, and handsome in that understated, old-school way. My father was honestly thrilled with it. If you appreciate classic pocketknives that balance style and practicality, the Rough Rider Bow Trapper is an excellent choice.
