Cattleman’s Stockyard Rosewood Trapper Knife

Description

The Cattlemans Cutlery Stockyard Rosewood Trapper pairs clip and spey blades in a rosewood handle with stainless bolsters, held by a slip joint.

Rosewood is dense and naturally oily, which is why it has been used on tool handles for centuries. It resists moisture without needing a finish and darkens with handling, so a knife carried for years looks different from one kept in a drawer. The trapper pairing is deliberate: the clip blade takes general cutting while the spey, with its flat edge and blunted tip, handles skinning and scraping without puncturing what lies beneath.

Stainless bolsters resist corrosion at the pivot points better than nickel silver, and the slip joint keeps the mechanism simple with nothing to release.
