The Turquoise Ridge, A Gut Hook Cowboy Knife with a Story in the Steel
Forged from a reclaimed farrier's rasp, the Turquoise Ridge carries its history on the blade, you can still read the dimpled file teeth across the steel.

Every antler is different, so no two ever leave the shop the same.

Where the Rasp Meets the Ridge
Rasp steel comes from old farrier's files, high-carbon steel with a hard, proven backbone. Forged and heat-treated to 59, 61 RC, it takes a keen edge and keeps the raised rasp pattern that tells you exactly where the steel came from. The 4" blade is built around a gut hook: a curved, sharpened notch that opens hide in one clean pull without nicking what's underneath.
The handle is where the character lives. Natural antler horn gives you a cream-and-bone grain no mold can copy, and the turquoise spacer sets a band of desert blue right where your hand meets the steel. Antler ridge, turquoise line, rasp-teeth blade, that's the Turquoise Ridge.
Why Rasp Steel?
- ✓ High-carbon, holds an edge longer than stainless
- ✓ Visible file teeth, proof of its origin
- ✓ 59, 61 RC, hard enough to work, tough enough to last
- ✓ Every blade one of a kind, no two rasps wear the same

Care Guide, Keeping Rasp Steel & Antler Right
High-carbon steel rewards a little attention with a lifetime of service.
- 1Wipe the blade dry after every use. Rasp steel is high-carbon, not stainless, moisture left on the steel is the main cause of spotting.
- 2Keep a light coat of oil on it. A thin film of mineral or food-safe blade oil protects the steel and settles into the rasp teeth between uses.
- 3Clean by hand, never the dishwasher. Heat and detergent are hard on carbon steel and can dry out the antler.
- 4Mind the gut hook. Rinse and dry inside the hook after field dressing; debris hides in the curve and can rust or dull it.
- 5Care for the antler. A rare rub of oil or beeswax keeps natural antler from drying and checking over the years.
- 6A little patina is normal. Carbon steel darkens with use, it's cosmetic and even protective. Heavy spotting wipes back with oil and a non-scratch pad.
- 7Store dry, out of the sheath long-term. Leather holds moisture; for long storage keep the knife out of the sheath in a dry place.
