Rough Ryder Highland Bowie Fixed-Blade Knife with G-10 Handle and Sheath
Description
This Rough Ryder Highland Bowie is a large-format fixed-blade knife featuring a full-tang construction. The clip-point blade is finished with a two-tone aesthetic, including a satin-brushed upper portion and a bead-blasted lower bevel, and is equipped with a long fuller and a large choil for controlled sharpening. The mark side of the blade near the guard is laser-etched with a stylized back-to-back RR logo and the vertical text ROUGH RIDER. The pile side of the blade bears the etched model number RR1730 over China. The handle is constructed with contoured black G-10 scales showing a visible layered grain pattern, secured by two domed brass pins. Decorative red and brass spacers are positioned between the handle and the polished stainless steel crossguard, which features curved quillons. The grip terminates in a polished steel bird’s-head pommel with a brass-lined lanyard hole. Included is the original black heavy-duty nylon sheath featuring a reinforced tip, belt loop, and a retaining strap with a metal snap; a black leather patch on the sheath is embossed with ROUGH RIDER. The knife is accompanied by its original decorative factory box labeled HIGHLAND BOWIE.
Condition report:
The knife appears to be in new-old-stock or like-new condition. The blade retains its factory edge with no visible signs of sharpening, use, or surface oxidation (photos 4, 7). The G-10 handle scales, brass pins, and polished steel furniture are free of significant scratches or handling marks (photos 2, 6). The nylon sheath remains structurally sound with no fraying or hardware corrosion (photo 8). The original cardboard box shows minor shelf wear at the corners but is intact (photo 1).
