Comment by Billy Oneale on June 24, 2013 at 20:55: I bought the Don't tread on me knife they showed Friday.I bought 4 knives. Those are the first knives I have bought in about 3 to 4 months. And it sure felt good.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on June 24, 2013 at 20:42: I just purchased my103rd Rough Rider! I have about 11 on the "to buy" list. Is it time for an RR intervention?

Comment by Billy Oneale on June 24, 2013 at 20:15: I have a couple of Condor knives. The carbon steel is very good steel.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on June 24, 2013 at 19:07: It is truly conjecture on my part. SMKW outsources several knives with carbon steel blades (normally 1070) to Condor Knife and Tool. This includes the orange Marbles machetes and field knives and the Rough Rider Paratrooper Bowie. so in theory at least one RR knife has been made of Carbon Steel for some time.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on June 24, 2013 at 18:38: It might be a rumor but El Salvador makes some great carbon steel machetes. That might be a good place to have them made, if it's not just a rumor.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on June 24, 2013 at 14:08: I'm of the opinion that these are now just a rumor. I assume if and when, they will be made in El Salvador.

Comment by robert benton on June 24, 2013 at 13:17: Any idea when the RR carbon steel knives are coming out?

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on June 14, 2013 at 18:58: Thanks Chuck, the way I use a whistle for my dogs is mostly to catch their attention, that I am turning one way or the other, in the woods. I also use it to let them know where I am and if I blow it a lot. that I want them to come to me. I use them to find small game. The silent whistle may not work good for my needs.

Comment by Chuck Parham on June 13, 2013 at 4:13: Robert, I've had several of those types of dog whistles. I trained dogs for over 20 years for Obedience, Field, Tracking, Shutzhund, and Therapy dogs. I had several whistles tuned to the right pich for certain applications. A dog whistle is a great tool but you need to be taught how to use one just as the dog is taught how to respond to one.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on June 12, 2013 at 15:15: That is a nice knife. I use a dog whistle in training some of my hunting dogs but it's just a regular whistle. Have ya'll ever used a dog whistle like the one on this knife?
