Its straight razor-style edge gives the knife a clean, no-frills look that&';s stayed popular among ranch hands for generations. A rosewood handle adds warmth and grip, held together with two brass pins running through the full tang construction. The knife comes housed in a pancake-style leather sheath built for horizontal cross-draw carry, so it sits flat against the belt and stays out of the way during active ranch work. A brass bull skull emblem decorates the sheath, paired with a matching bull skull charm that ships alongside the knife.
