The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
Rough Rider produced a series of twelve knives called the Rifleman Series. Each knife has brown gunstock bone scales. The shield is a Winchester Model 1873 lever action rifle, often referred to as "The Gun That Won The West". Each knife comes with a collector's tin and cardboard sleeve, both of which have pictures of a '73 Winchester on them. One reason I really like this series is because I have a Model 1873 Winchester rifle. It was manufactured in 1891.
I have been able to acquire eleven of the twelve knives. It is amazing to me that I have been unable to locate one of the most common if not THE most common pattern, the RR705 Trapper. If anyone has one or knows who has one, please let me know. I would definitely want to buy it.
The knives appear in the picture in this order.
Left Side, Top to Bottom:
RR702 Canoe
RR703 Muskrat
RR704 Copperhead
RR705 (Empty Space)
RR706 Sowbelly
RR707 Congress
Right Side, Top to Bottom:
RR708 Large Stockman
RR709 Stockman
RR710 Folding Hunter
RR711 Large Toothpick
RR712 Gunstock
RR713 Six Blade Stockman
I call this the "Missing Knife Formation"

Really nice collection Charles
That is a great collection! Well except for that trapper. We will track it down eventually!
I sure hope so. It would be a shame to get so close and not be able to complete the series. I will definitely keep looking.
