7" Black Powder Coated Rasp Steel Cowboy Knife – Fixed Blade Ram Horn Handle

Modern protective finishes meet rugged frontier texture. The NDY Artisan Series 7" Black Powder-Coated Rasp Steel Cowboy Knife is a compact, high-performance fixed blade custom-engineered for trail riders, backcountry outfitters, and collectors of unique custom cutlery. The repurposed high-carbon rasp steel blade is treated with a non-reflective matte black powder coating, offering enhanced corrosion resistance while accentuating the original raised triangular rasp teeth along the blade face. The ergonomic full-tang handle is scaled with genuine, highly textured natural ram horn, centered with an ornate brass mosaic pin. Completed with a white leather lanyard cord pre-strung through the pommel and a custom basket-weave leather pancake sheath, this high-balance utility tool delivers exceptional hand control and striking Western contrast.

💥 Why This Black Coated Rasp Steel Knife Stands Out

• Matte Black Protective Powder Coating: The full blade face is treated with a durable matte black coating that guards the high-carbon steel against rust and glare while making the forged rasp tooth geometry pop with sharp contrast.

• Natural Ram Horn & Mosaic Pin Craftsmanship: Selected for its organic bark texture and multi-tone character, the genuine ram horn handle provides a secure, non-slip grip. The handle is centered with a handcrafted brass mosaic pin, elevating the rugged tool into an artisan centerpiece.

• Basket-Weave Stamped Leather Sheath: This frontier companion comes paired with a thick, heavy-duty brown leather pancake sheath decorated with detailed basket-weave geometric tooling and dual belt slots for flat, comfortable hip carry on the trail.

📖 Care & Maintenance Guide

• Clean & Dry: Hand-wash your knife immediately after camp or utility tasks with warm water and mild dish soap using a soft sponge. Dry the blade and ram horn handle thoroughly with a towel (never submerge or clean high-carbon steel in a dishwasher).

• Maintain the Coated Blade: The matte black powder coating offers great rust protection along the flats, but the exposed cutting edge still benefits from simple care. Apply a light wipe of food-grade mineral oil along the sharpened edge before long-term storage.

• Nourish the Ram Horn: Preserve the rich color and prevent the natural horn scales from drying out over time by occasionally wiping the handle with a tiny drop of mineral oil or natural leather/horn conditioner.
