I just got this Rough Rider RR22034BN orange smooth bone trapper.  I have never seen this type of RR model no. before.  Is it a new numbering system for RR?  Can anyone tell me anything about it?…Continue

As the series lacked a large toothpick or scout knife it was ignored by me.  LOL.

That said:

The series was primarily 3 different styles of trappers:

Standard trapper

Slimline trapperlock with a disc style thumb stud for left/right opening 

Mini Trapper w/ locking clip blade

Then four other knives

Small lockback

Congress, 

Muskrat

Sowbelly

So seven in the series. They didn’t even bother with a canoe.  I almost bought the Sowbelly but the lack of my favorites left me cold.

SMKW may be the best place to look for the battle axe series. RR is their house brand. You might ask Tobias Gibson about a list. He would be the one that comes to mind that might have some type of RR listing. 

I only bought a trapper in that series.

I'm looking for a list of all RR knives, from day ONE to the present including patterns in a particular series, RR# and other such info.   Is there such a list, and if so, where can I obtain a copy? 

Thanks,

Dewey

Mr. Smith, how does one go about dying bone scales?  I assume it's done without removing them from the frame, correct?  Very nice job, by the way.    It appears to be a deep plum color.  Have you ever tried to "pattern-dye" the scales.  That's a term I just conjured up.... but I think you know what I mean.  Kinda' like the old hippy "tie-dying" technique only maybe something along similar train's of thought with bone.

 I'm looking for RR knives in the Battle Axe series.  Of the seven in the series, I have two, the mini-trapper with locking clip-blade and the muskrat.  If anyone can steer me toward the remaining five.... the standard Trapper, the single-blade Trapper, small Lockback, Congress and Sowbelly..... I would be eternally grateful.

Even dyed mine, Dewey.

Like J.J. Smith III, I too recently found a nice RR 323.  I was glad to see I'm not the only one who likes to "contour" the edges of the scales.  I do the same with bolsters and springs.... to some extent.... just enough to give it a "pocket-worn" feel.  The 323 is a nice knife, but I prefer the smaller stockman at 3 1/8" - 3 1/4" for EDC.  It's just a personal preference, the 323 is a beautiful knife.

So being a pipe smoker along with a knife collector, I was happy to see the new pipe tool/knife for RR.  Bought one for myself and one for a raffle in my pipe club.  Just got it but I like it so far!
