The **Rough Ryder Granddad Barlow** is a cool, traditional pocket knife. A large edition of the traditional Barlow, with two blades: a clippoint as a ‘main blade’ and a smaller pen blade. You open this knife with two hands and a slipjoint prevents accidental closing. As such you can legally carry this pocket knife in many places in Europe.
## 440A steel
440A is a fine, popular type of steel. It is corrosion resistant and easy to sharpen. It won’t retain its sharpness for a really long time, but this is compensated by the fact that 440A is quite tough and easy to sharpen. This means you only occasionally have to maintain it a little to make sure you always keep a sharp knife close.
## Buckshot Bone handle
The handle is made from ‘Jigged Bone’. This is basically cow bone that is enhanced with an interesting texture and colour. Bone, of course, is a natural material. As such small differences in terms of colour and shape, or any other small imperfections may occur. In this case the texture is a ‘buckshot’. . When you look at the pattern on the handle you know why.
## About Rough Ryder Knives
Rough Ryder Knives is a brand with a rich history. For over 25 years this brand is known for its excellent price-quality ratio. Like Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Ryders these knives were named after, these knives are ready to be used. The prices are very appealing. Of course this means you sometimes need to compromise which means that occasionally you could find there to be something wrong with the finish. Nothing major, and definitely in line with the prices. In case of natural materials such as wood, bone and horn it is possible to end up with small scratches around the pins. It is simply a part of the deal in this price range.
