Comment by Guy MEDFORD on December 15, 2023 at 23:17: Hello, new member, I have gathered a bunch of RRs and put together nearly every known toothpick scale, bolster and shield combo in multiples. Is it acceptable to buy, sell or trade on this site?

Comment by Dewey treat on June 24, 2019 at 20:46: The mailman dropped off a very nice 3 1/2" RR #737 jigged brown Gunstock Jack Knife today. I really like the scales. A nice, tight knife.... NIB.

Figured it couldn't hurt. It was a matter of preference...I don't like red scales, so anything had to be an improvement. I'm pleased with the results. The combination of the brown dye on the red scales gave them some depth and warmness.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on June 20, 2019 at 11:18: As for a list of All RR knives. I have a list of the first four years of production somewhere. But RR just celebrated 25 years of knife production. It would be hard to come up with a list of series let alone knives in each series and the year introduced. This becomes even more problematic at RR is now producing series that once were under the Colt Brand.

Not to mention, RR also made several “one off” knives that never made it in a series, as well as numerous fixed blades and modern folders. And then there is the Red Ryder conundrum. Sometimes SMKW lumps them in the RoughRyder line and other times they don’t!
