The Roper Chaparral Stockman has 1065 carbon steel clip, spey and sheepsfoot blades in a black jigged bone handle with satin stainless bolsters and an inlay shield, closing to 3.5 inches.
Black jigged bone is dyed rather than natural, and the dye settles unevenly into the jigging so the grooves read darker than the raised surface between them. That gives depth a solid black synthetic cannot match, and it is the reason black bone stays popular where black Delrin would be cheaper.
Three blades divide the work: the clip for general cutting, the sheepsfoot for controlled push cuts against a surface, and the spey for scraping without a point to puncture. 1065 carbon steel takes a keener edge than stainless and comes back faster on a stone, developing a patina that shows well against a dark handle.
