The Ruff Shooter – Feather Weight (Box Elder handles)
Ultra-Light 52100 Bird & Trout Knife with Stabilized Box Elder Burl Handle
$355 – Shipping Included
Handmade in Montana by one craftsman with over 30 years of bird hunting experience and field use behind every cut
The Feather Weight keeps everything that makes the original great—razor-thin blade, ultralight carry, performance and purpose design—and adds a warm, figured box elder burl handle that feels alive in the hand.
Weighing in at just 2.3 ounces, this knife disappears until it’s needed. When it’s time to work, the thin 52100 blade slices like a laser. The sculpted burl handle balances visual richness with field reliability. The mosaic pin is a quiet reminder that this wasn’t stamped in a factory.

Hard-Working. Good-Looking. No Wasted Motion.
Built for real days in the field—grouse dogs in the cover, woodcock in the alders, and frost on grass. The Feather Weight is a scalpel that lives outside the safe, and the burl version’s just fancy enough to make you grin every time you put it to work cleaning birds or maybe slicing steak if you feel like showing off.
