Although an Import Rough Rider Brand by Smoky Mountain Knife Works continues to get high marks as a favorite for collectors.

Found me a NOS RR323. I wish that it was a squared bolster knife, but I'm liking it. Way better blades than the current production knives.
Already have the edges of that scales contoured, so it feels right. Next on the agenda is to attempt to re-dye the scales. I'm thinking that a brown dye would look good, keeping some of the red undertones.
Yes they do.
Appears that I have upset someone affiliated with Rough Rider, with my comments about the thinness of the blades in the Large Stockman.
Someone responded to my comments saying that all traditional patterns have 1/16" blades.
Well, I've been known to be mistaken, once or twice, so I decided that I'd compare the 603 to a Little Barlow (RR901). As both are in the Yellow Comp series, I figured that it should be close.
Compared the pin blade on the 901 to the spey, sheepsfoot, as well as the clip master blade.
Photos speak for themselves.
i was just passing thru, Jan. its on the way to Charleston.
Wish I had known you were there Tobias, I would have made the 3 hour drive to see you there! Nice knives you picked up though!
Nice one, Tobias. I really like the scales on that one.
