Description
A proper hoof-pick is an absolutely necessary piece of equipment for anyone who rides a horse. This handy folding knife serves that purpose and is a fine every day carry pocketknife. A number of years ago, we introduced what we called the A. G. Russell™ Rider’s Knife. For our new version, we tweaked the design, renamed it, changed manufacturers and added bone as a handle choice. We also added a pocket clip to the G-10 and Bone versions. Due to the nature of the surface of Stag, we did not add a clip to those knives.
This is a Trapper pattern with a 3-3⁄8″ drop point blade of 8Cr13MoV stainless at 57-59 Rc. It is a slip-joint knife (no lock) with a hoof-pick second blade that is thicker than the main blade to make it safe when used in the horse’s hoof. The liners, bolsters, caps and Federal Shield inlay are all highest quality stainless steel.
I designed this knife and it is made to my standards of fit, finish, and quality by one of my most trusted makers. Measures 4-1⁄8″ closed. Weighs about 5.6 oz. Made in China.
