Santa Fe Rider Farrier Rasp Skinning Knife pine cone handle with Belt Sheath

Santa Fe Rider Farrier Rasp Skinning Knife pine cone handle with Belt Sheath

The Santa Fe Rider is a handmade fixed-blade skinning knife designed for hunting, field dressing, ranch work, and suitable outdoor cutting tasks. Measuring 8 inches overall, it features a 4-inch farrier rasp steel blade, a green pine cone resin handle, and a decorated Western leather belt sheath. Its compact proportions and distinctive natural-material styling create a practical field knife with strong collector appeal.

The photographed blade has a broad skinning profile with a curved cutting belly and raised point. This shape provides useful working-edge length for controlled slicing and field-preparation motions. Rows of dark triangular marks run across much of the polished blade face, becoming smaller toward the tip and creating a recognizable handmade design.

Four-Inch Farrier Rasp Blade

The 4-inch blade is identified as farrier rasp steel. Its polished face contrasts with the graduated triangular details, while the curved edge creates a substantial working area within a manageable overall length. A shaped finger section at the blade-to-handle transition visually establishes the intended grip position. No unconfirmed hardness rating, precise steel composition, blade thickness, heat-treatment method, or edge-retention period is stated.

Green Pine Cone Resin Handle

The handle combines natural pine cone structure with green and cream-colored resin. Organic brown sections remain visible throughout the grip, while the green resin fills the spaces between them and creates a contrasting layered appearance. Visible pins secure the handle scales, and a lined rear opening provides an attachment point for a customer-supplied lanyard. Pine cone placement, resin tone, and natural markings may vary between handmade pieces.

Decorated Western Belt Sheath

A brown leather belt sheath is included with the pictured knife. Its front panel displays deeply carved floral and leaf-style tooling bordered by dark stitching. Additional floral decoration extends along the visible belt strap, giving the sheath a coordinated Western appearance. The exact carry angle and positioning will depend on belt dimensions and how the wearer arranges the sheath.

For Hunting and Field Dressing

The Santa Fe Rider is suited to hunters who prefer a compact fixed blade for controlled skinning, field dressing, and appropriate campsite work. Its farrier rasp blade, colorful pine cone handle, and carved sheath also make it an eye-catching Western collectible or gift.

Care Instructions

Clean the blade by hand after use and dry it completely. Apply a thin coating of suitable knife oil before storage, especially after exposure to moisture. Do not use a dishwasher or leave the knife soaking in water. Wipe the resin handle with a soft cloth. Condition the sheath periodically with an appropriate leather-care product, and store the clean, oiled blade outside the sheath during extended storage.
