ABKT Roper Knives Tombstone Damscus Jigged Bone Trapper (RP0002DRB)

After being impressed by Cattlemans Cutlery I decided to try this Roper which costs more than twice the CC. Is it worth it? I think so, as with the CC knives the fit and finish is above expectations for the price point with no obvious flaws. The bone covers are a beautiful dark crimson red that fades at the bolsters. The shield is a nice bronze color that looks great with the dark red bone. And of course the Damascus blades look great, and that’s where the value is as this would normally cost much more (and probably never get used). The ABKT website has some info on their Damascus that is worth checking out. Finally this one is boxed in a little black velvet pouch that adds a bit class to the packaging. So overall, definitely worth it. And of course TPK is always top notch, ordered on Wed and had it on Fri. Can’t beat that.
