The **Rough Ryder Arctic Fox Cotton Sampler RR2546** is a stylish pocket knife with a sleek design. This knife from the Arctic Fox collection is made to be used, but its design is stunning too! Whether you'll carry it for daily use or simply add it to your collection to admire it: this knife won't disappoint. The most striking feature of the Arctic Fox is the black symbol, neatly incorporated into the white micarta handle with shiny bolsters of nickel silver.



You open the Rough Ryder with two hands. To make this easier, there's a nail nick which gives you a little extra grip using your fingernail. This pocket knife is not equipped with a full lock, only with a slipjoint mechanism. This provides some resistance to prevent the knife from snapping shut during normal use. However, if you press on the spine of the blade, the knife will shut.



## Blade made of 440A steel
The blade of this Rough Ryder is made of 440A. This is a stainless steel that is easy to sharpen, retains its sharpness pretty well and is very affordable. It might not be anything to write home about, but it's good quality.



The blade of this knife is enhanced with a 'satin finish'. This is a chic and tasteful finish that is very popular.



## Micarta handle

The handle of this Rough Ryder Arctic Fox is made of micarta and measures 10.5 cm in length. Micarta is a great material for pocket knife handles. This material is grippy, relatively lightweight and it looks very cool. It is composed of fabric fibres and synthetic resin. The resulting layers often even make micarta look a bit like wood. However, it is a very stable and strong material.



## Traditional: the Cotton Sampler pattern
The Cotton Sampler pattern knife stands out due to its appearance, though its history is rather unclear. The pattern predates the name and closely resembles old gardening and sailor’s knives. According to some, the tall blade was used to cut into a bale of cotton and scoop out a sample, almost like a spoon. The flat section would then be used to rub the fibres in order to assess their quality. Is that really true? No one knows for certain. It’s likely that this explanation was thought up later to suit a knife that already existed, which in turn influenced how the design developed.

There are two variants: one with a handle that curves backwards and a robust, straight blade; and one with a handle that curves forwards and a distinctive blade with a long, unsharpened ricasso. These days, 'Cotton Sampler' usually refers only to the latter.



## About Rough Ryder Knives

Rough Ryder Knives is a brand with a rich history. For over 25 years, they’ve been known for offering excellent value for money. Just like the Rough Riders of Theodore Roosevelt – after whom these knives are named – these knives are made for real-world use. The prices are very appealing. Naturally, this means some compromises must be made, so occasionally the finish may show minor imperfections. Nothing dramatic, and entirely in line with the price point Rough Ryder offers.

When it comes to natural materials such as wood, bone or horn, tiny cracks may sometimes appear around the pins. This is quite normal within this price range.

**Please note**: For knives with multiple blades, the specifications always refer to the largest blade.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_closed_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
