The Rough Ryder Reserve Bar Back Folding Knife is built for those who appreciate craftsmanship, utility, and timeless design in one compact package. Designed with the working hand in mind, this knife blends function and style with a refined ruggedness that suits both the bar top and the backcountry. It features dual blades—a 2.35" D2 tool steel Wharncliffe and a spear point—both with a satin finish that highlights the steel’s clean lines and durability. Known for its toughness and edge retention, D2 steel gives the Bar Back the grit to handle everyday cutting tasks with ease while maintaining its sharpness through hard use.
Each blade opens smoothly with classic match strike pulls, a nod to traditional pocketknife design. The slipjoint mechanism provides reliable tension and a satisfying snap when opening or closing, embodying the quality feel of an old-school folder. The handle is crafted from black Micarta, giving it both visual appeal and all-weather performance. Micarta’s natural texture provides a confident grip, even in damp conditions, while the stainless steel bolster and inlay shield add structure, balance, and a touch of understated elegance.
True to its name, the Bar Back includes a built-in bottle opener, transforming this compact knife into a versatile companion for any setting—whether you’re unwinding after a day in the field or serving drinks behind the counter. At 3.6" closed, it’s the perfect size for pocket carry, always ready when needed but never in the way.
Every detail of the Rough Ryder Reserve Bar Back speaks to purpose and tradition. From its finely finished D2 blades to its rugged Micarta handle and thoughtful multi-function design, this knife carries the spirit of utility that Rough Ryder is known for. It’s a dependable tool for craftsmen, outdoorsmen, and everyday carriers alike—proof that good knives don’t need to shout to make a statement.
