Cholla Turquoise Cowboy Knife – Handmade Rasp Steel Buckaroo & Pancake Sheath

This handmade cholla turquoise cowboy knife is a rasp steel buckaroo with a striking cholla cactus and turquoise handle. The open-cell structure of the cholla cactus is filled with turquoise resin, creating a Southwestern pattern that is different on every knife.

Rasp Steel Buckaroo Blade

The blade is made from rasp steel, a hard, high-carbon steel with a rugged textured surface, hardened to 58–60 HRC. It measures 4 inches on a knife of about 8 inches overall, the slim buckaroo size made for belt carry.

Cholla Cactus & Turquoise Handle

Cholla is the dried woody skeleton of a desert cactus, full of natural open cells. Filling those cells with turquoise gives this cowboy knife its signature blue-and-tan pattern. Because the cactus structure varies naturally, color distribution differs from the photographed example.

Handmade Pancake Leather Sheath

The knife comes with a handmade pancake leather sheath that rides flat on the belt and complements the handmade character of the blade and handle.
