Vintage William Rodgers Carbon Steel Fixed Blade Knife
A classic trailing point knife with soul, steel, and purpose
There’s something deeply honest about the Vintage William Rodgers Carbon Steel Fixed Blade Knife. It's not flashy. It doesn’t beg for attention. But the moment you hold it, it speaks volumes. This is a knife made for use — crafted in a time when blades were tools first and collector's pieces second.
The trailing point blade curves elegantly. Made from high-carbon steel, it takes a razor edge and holds it with quiet confidence. The thumb ramp feels just right — not exaggerated, but deliberate. You’ll know you’re in control. And that’s the point.
Built for grip, made to last
The shaped wooden handle has seen life, and it fits the hand well. Paired with a solid brass finger guard and pins, it keeps things simple and strong. That pommel? Unusual. Intriguing. It hints at a past, maybe a custom touch, maybe just a sign of its journey. And yes, the original leather sheath is still intact — worn, but ready.
For anyone who appreciates history you can use, this knife delivers. You’re not just buying steel and wood — you’re holding a story in your hand.
