The Story of "The Bronc Buster"

Where the fence line ends and the wild begins, a rancher’s knife earns its keep. The Bronc Buster was born from horse sweat and hard work—a no-nonsense 4-inch blade forged from reclaimed rasp steel, tempered to outlast the toughest jobs.

The blade tells its own story:

  • Repurposed farrier’s rasp steel with visible file teeth near the spine

  • Shaving-sharp edge that handles everything from cutting twine to field dressing

  • Distinctive temper lines from hand-forging, no two patterns alike

The handle captures the spirit of the West:

  • White epoxy resin with embedded pine-cones, frozen in time like morning frost on the range

  • Contoured for a sure grip whether you’re wearing work gloves or bare-handed

  • Steel bolster adds balance and protects the resin

Sheathed in heavy-duty western leather, it rides comfortably on your belt with a quick-draw design. The positive back lock ensures safety when working horseback or fixing machinery.

This ain’t no showpiece—it’s a working knife for those who live by the sun and saddle.


Why Ranchers Choose This Knife?

 4" Rasp Steel Blade – Tougher than a two-dollar steak
 Pine-Cone Resin Handle – Unique grip that won’t slip in sweat or rain
 8" Overall Length – Big enough to work, compact enough to carry daily
 Western Leather Sheath – Stands up to saddle wear and brush

Handmade Authenticity Note:

Every "Bronc Buster" carries its own character—visible forge marks, variations in pine-cone placement, and unique rasp patterns. These aren’t flaws; they’re proof your knife was made by human hands, not machines. The leather sheath develops its own patina with use, just like good tack should.
