Production Cowboy #641

 Production Cowboys are  a fine example of an “all around knife" or an “EDC” (every day carry)

The Cowboy model, designed by Nick, is specifically formulated to be easy to carry and use.
Made from 1084 steel, with  a 3-3/4” blade, this knife will cut string,  slice an apple, open boxes, etc, but also boasts a larger belly which makes it convenient for skinning game and preparation of food while camping or other outdoor activities.
At 7-3/4” though, this knife is not cumbersome to carry on your belt in public settings.
(Be sure to always check local laws concerning your location and it’s specific regulations)

This particular model of the Production  Cowboy is made with a Curly Maple handle.

Called curly maple because the ripples in the grain pattern create a three dimensional effect that appears as if the grain has “curled” along the length of the board. It’s also referred to as fiddleback maple, in reference to its historic use for the backs and sides of violins.

Curly maple figuring is similar to quilted maple, but curl is a primarily horizontal pattern perpendicular to the wood grain. Unlike quilted maple, curly maple is most pronounced when the board is quartersawn, and the curls usually become much less pronounced or absent in flatsawn sections of boards. It is not completely clear what environmental conditions (if any) cause this phenomenon, but there are different grades of curly maple, which greatly affect its price.

Curly maple, fiddleback maple, tiger maple, flamed maple, rippled maple.

Not a distinct species of maple. Curly maple is considered a grain pattern that can be found in nearly all Acer species.

Primarily temperate regions in the Northern Hemisphere
