Rough Ryder Canoe Folding Pocket Knife

This is a closed canoe-pattern folding pocket knife featuring distinctive 'Red Jigged Bone' handle scales. The handle scales are secured to the frame by three brass pins and are accented by nickel silver bolsters on both ends. A standout feature is the inlaid nickel silver shield depicting the Rough Ryder 'Anvil and Hammer' logo. The knife appears to have a multi-blade construction, likely containing a primary spear point blade and a smaller pen blade nested within the frame. The handle material exhibits deep jigging for enhanced grip, dyed in a vibrant deep red to burgundy hue. Regarding condition, there is visible oxidation and tarnishing on the metal bolsters, particularly on the left bolster which shows dark pitting. The brass pins exhibit some green verdigris, suggesting age or storage in a humid environment. The blades show minor surface wear along the spine. This style of knife is a classic 20th-century American traditional pattern, mass-produced with a focus on durability and utility. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality budget traditional knives, featuring pinned construction and polished synthetic or natural bone materials.
