The Back Door: Tactile Knife Co. Premium Rockwall Thumbstud (Previous Generation) - New

This is a Back Door offering.

This Rockwall comes from a previous generation run and does not fit our standard “new” inventory. There are no functional issues whatsoever. The knife is fully perfectly operational, solid, and ready to be carried. Its presence here is due to non-standard circumstances rather than performance.

This particular Rockwall is very special. It features titanium damascus thumbstuds paired with DLC-coated titanium scales and a matching DLC clip, a configuration you simply do not see in normal production. Pieces like this are exactly why The Back Door exists.

About The Back Door

The Back Door is where perfectly good knives with imperfect stories live.

This is where you’ll find returns, light cosmetic quirks, discontinued variations, prototypes, and one-off situations that don’t quite belong in the main shop. Nothing listed here has a functional defect. These are knives that fall short of “factory perfect” for visual, packaging, or historical reasons only.

Every knife in The Back Door is fully disclosed, honestly described, and priced accordingly. Inventory is limited, unpredictable, and first come, first served.

Sometimes, you get lucky in The Back Door.

The Rockwall, Revisited

The Rockwall is one of Tactile Knife Co.’s most refined EDC designs, known for its slim profile, smooth action, and practical blade geometry. This is the previous-generation thumbstud Rockwall, a version no longer in regular production.

The standout feature here is the titanium damascus thumbstud, an uncommon and premium upgrade that adds both visual interest and a tactile pop to deployment. Combined with the DLC-coated titanium handle and clip, the knife takes on a stealthy, high-contrast look that feels more custom than production.

Why You’ll Want It

This is the kind of knife you don’t plan for, you just stumble into it.

If you appreciate unusual configurations, discontinued versions, or knives that tell a deeper story than a standard drop-down variant, this Rockwall belongs in your pocket or your collection. Supporting American-made knives like this also helps ensure that companies can continue experimenting, innovating, and manufacturing here at home.

And sometimes, the best knives come through the Back Door.
