The Pattern 5 was named Blade Magazine 2023 Import Knife of the Year. This version is Exclusive to Blade HQ. Find it here: Blade HQ Exclusive Clinch RIver

The Exclusive RoseCraft Clinch River Swayback Blade HQ Blue Jigged Bone is based on the popular traditional Swayback pattern but offers a finger choil that is cut partly from the blade and partly from the bolster. This one-bladed slip joint features a 3.125” 14C28N Steel Wharncliffe blade with a half stop and a brushed satin finish. The covers are Blade HQ Blue Jigged Bone with steel liners, nickel silver pins, brushed steel bolsters, and the exclusive Rose Arrow shield. It’s 4” closed, 7.125” fully open and weighs 4.2oz. Designed by Andy Armstrong.

The covers on this knife are manually hand-jigged one by one.

Please Note: Our Blue Jigged Bone is hand-jigged and intentionally dyed and finished to look vintage. These covers are reminiscent of those you might find on a knife that has seen plenty of love and is worn-in just right with lighter spots and smoother spots throughout. The images shown on this page show examples of how the bone appears on this pattern. Your knife will look different because every set of covers is unique.
