Roper Laredo Carbon Steel Stockman
Item #: ROP-01SGLS
$29.95
We have many requests for pocketknives with Carbon Steel blades. That is not so easy to accomplish today. There are very few factories that still have the capability to heat treat these steels and to get them delivered without severe rust problems. We have been searching for knives with carbon steel blades that meet our quality standards for several years. Based on our extensive inspection of these Roper folders, the quality we were looking for is there. Roper is also providing a brown leather pouch that will hold the knife a horizontal position on your belt. While these knives are not exclusive to A. G. Russell Knives, they are available in very few places.
These knives are what you might have found in your Granddad's pocket. Made from tough 1065 Carbon Steel at 58-60 Rc., they will hold an edge well and are easy to re-sharpen. You can dig out your granddad's old Arkansas Stone and keep them sharp the old fashioned way or use our Ceramic Sharpener. Either will work well. Be prepared to take more care of your blade though to keep it from staining and rusting. We suggest using our Rust Free™ after use (RF125). The handle scales are Stag and Zebra Wood. Made in China.
Also available as a Loredo.
Stockman Measures 3-7⁄8" closed with a 2-7⁄8" clip point, a 2-1⁄4"sheepsfoot and a 2-1⁄8" spey blade. Weighs 2.7 oz.
