Rough Ryder
Founded in 1996 by Smoky Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville, Tennessee, Rough Ryder was created around the idea that a well-made traditional pocket knife should remain affordable, and the brand now celebrates three decades of collectible cutlery. We sell only 100% authentic Rough Ryder Knives, giving collectors and everyday users confidence in every purchase. Rough Ryder is best known for traditional patterns using 440A and 440 stainless steel, with select models also featuring carbon steel, D2, and 7Cr13 stainless steel. Handle materials range from jigged and smooth bone, stag bone, Micarta, G-10, stainless steel, brass, and synthetic composites, often paired with classic slip-joint, liner-lock, frame-lock, and lockback construction.
