The Blacktop

This Saddletramp keeps things honest—nothing fancy, just clean lines and solid work. The blade’s built from a farrier’s rasp, steel that’s spent its first life shaping hooves and earning grit. It holds that story in every mark. The handle’s vintage black canvas Micarta feels right in the hand, tough and worn-in from the start. Red and white G10 liners frame a red TruStone spacer that gives it just enough punch. At 7¾ inches overall, it’s the kind of knife you reach for without thinking. Reliable, balanced, and built to ride along anywhere.

About the Steel

Built from high-carbon farrier’s rasp steel, this blade carries strength and bite. The file texture left in the finish is part of its story—a reminder of its working past and dependable nature.

About the Handle

Vintage black canvas Micarta handle with red and white G10 liners and a red TruStone spacer. Simple, rugged, and made to feel natural, even when wet or dirty. Built for grip, not glamour.

About the Sheath

Sheath Included. Every blade leaves my shop with a hand-fit leather sheath. On its own, it’s worth $120, but I don’t sell knives without them. A knife isn’t finished until it’s got a sheath that matches it. Most sheaths you see out there feel plastic-y, like they’d snap if you bent them wrong. That’s not what I pair with these knives. These are cut from thick leather, stitched to last, and made in the USA. Over time they don’t wear out—they wear in. The leather shapes to you, softens to your side, and eventually feels less like gear and more like part of you.
