I was inspired to make a lockback folding knife and enjoyed figuring out the mechanics in the design and learning the process of heat treating and tempering. I think it’s amazing how beautiful, working tools can be crafted from raw materials and how steel can take so many different forms and strengths using heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy focus is now on making folding knives using traditional patterns and my original designs. I enjoy making slipjoint knives and lockbacks as well as the occasional modern linerlock. I use both stainless and carbon steel and make handles with natural materials like stag, wood, bone, horn and modern handle materials such as micarta and G10. I do my own scrimshaw work on bone or ivory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe past few years have been amazing with a lot of recognition for my work. I won four awards including Best of Show at both 2023 \u0026amp; 2024 Oregon Knife Collectors Show.  At  2023 Bladeshow West I won Best Custom Folder. I was featured in the April 2024 issue of Blade magazine, in an article on the Lockback Whittler. At Bladeshow 2024 I won Best Custom Slipjoint and I was featured in an article and cover of Knife magazine November 2024.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt should also be noted that Rhidian won two awards at this year's Blade Show - Best Custom Collaboration with Jeremy Yelle and Best Custom Miniature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Rhidian's signature original design Rogue Wave Trapper, slip-joint folding knife.  It features a CPM 154 stainless steel blade and spring, Fat Carbon \"DUNES\" scales and fluted stainless steel bolster integral to the liner.  Stainless steel pins and shield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade has a nicely cut nail nick, with a smooth and even pull that won't break a nail.  The blade has a half-stop, long swedge and a \"secondary swedge\" ground behind the nail nick.  You can see how cool it looks in the top-down photo of the blade centering.  The blade sits centered between the liners.  And check out the second to last photo of the transition from blade tang to spring - it is virtually seamless!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rogue Wave Trapper comes with the pictured felt pouch, COA and Rhidian's custom designed box.  This knife is new from Rhidian Gatrill at Blade Show 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition:   New from the Maker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length:   6 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length:     3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed length:   3 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gatrill Rhidian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51048172355893,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/9975\/1477\/files\/DSC_0024_51a3c6da-d1c0-4b27-ae22-d40778360008.jpg?v=1750864853","url":"https:\/\/windycityknives.com\/products\/rhidian-gatrill-rogue-wave-trapper-fat-carbon-slip-joint-folding-knife","provider":"Windy City Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
