Sundown Trail Rasp Steel Knife 9" Stag Bone Handle - JW Steelcrafts

Cowboy knives earned their reputation from ranch hands who needed a dependable blade for everyday chores and rope work. The Sundown Trail Rasp Steel Knife continues that same practical tradition as every Cowboy Trail Knife we forge today. Rasp steel blades carry their own story from farrier craftsmanship, old hoof rasps were reforged by skilled smiths into sturdy knife blades once the original tool wore down from daily use.

Stag bone handles carry their own history in traditional knife making, valued for natural strength and texture that varies from piece to piece.
