Many of the Rough Rider patterns I own are similar to some of the Case patterns I own. When comparing the quality, fit and finish these knives are a great value. What really makes them great is I…Continue

KnifeMaker Comment by Tom Hudson on April 7, 2011 at 18:55: RR Large lock back with finger guard -

Comment by Jay Todd on March 31, 2011 at 10:33: Well let me tell you - the "closet" is stuffed with all kinds of members hiding their little secret. But I am hear to join the ranks and officially say "R.R. knives are the best deal out there and FUN to collect". Nothing makes me question what I am doing more than paying a lot of hard earned dough on an expensive knife. I mean they are just that - "knives" right they are suppose to be fun to collect. Come on the rest of you - we know your in there - kick that door open and expose yourselves.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on March 31, 2011 at 10:05: China keeps the value of its currency low so it can sell its products all over the world at a lower price than most contries. I feel its OK to buy knives from other countries but we must continue to support our USA knife makers.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on March 30, 2011 at 17:04: Ditto on the dial-up, but it's worth the wait. I just wished that SMKW would put the out of stock items at the end of the list. It'd sure save time...

KnifeMaker Comment by Tom Hudson on March 30, 2011 at 14:16: Me like Black Pearl!

Comment by J.J. Smith III on March 30, 2011 at 12:11: This one was under $20.00. And it is real stag too. (Stag on the second series was better though, but no fixed blade.)

SMKW lists over 20 Rough Rider Fixed Blades, from a Small Hunter for $7.00 (RR070) to a Rough Rider Presentation Hunter for $35.00 (RR1097). Bunch more in between too.

Go to the SMKW website and type in Rough Rider Fixed Blade, ENJOY.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on March 30, 2011 at 0:52: Steve, I Know that Rough Rider has several styles of Fixed Blades. Only one that I have is the B&T in the first Stag series. Seems that the Fixed Blades, in any handle material, are almost always the first to sell out. That should tell SMKW something...

Comment by Carl Newton on March 30, 2011 at 0:02: Hey RR's are pretty nice and offer a beginner a way into collecting some well made and sometimes very pleasing knifes in many styles, without braking the bank.
