I was thumbing through my new SMKW Catalog and it shows a Series called Rough Rider Heavy Hunters. It kooks like they came out with 6 different styles, offering wood handles, 440A stainless and a sheath. Plus all come in under the $20.00 price point(not counting shipping).

I like the look of them but may have to wait a month or two. So just curious, anyone bought one or have any experience with one?

Comment by Chuck Parham on May 26, 2013 at 9:01: Rough Rider Outdoorsman Series 5 bladed Trapper. I now have saved a few pictures of this one. Every single time I get this one out, it "bites" me and that includes this time! Either there are too many blades or I have too many fingers for this knife. Smoothbone with razor blade makes this an interesting knife.

Comment by Chuck Parham on May 26, 2013 at 8:56: Rough Rider Stoneworx Trapper. Avery classy looking knife. They make the Stoneworx in most of the common patterns.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on April 29, 2013 at 20:20: The one between the White smooth bone and the Yellowhorse Turquoise is a Camco Workhorse series toothpick. I've since picked up a RR tortoise shell.

A better view of the Camco toothpick and 3 inch lockback. Got thse couple years back. These were going to be some of the first Camillus made knives from China. They came out shortly after the old Camillus went belly-up making them some of the first released under new management. They're actually quite well made. Especially for Camcos!

These are my RR Tortoise Shell Peanut and Toothpick. Also excellent knives. but if you collect rough riders then you already knew that!

Comment by Tobias Gibson on April 29, 2013 at 18:24: One of these knives is not like the others.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on April 15, 2013 at 9:59: Great collection, Tobias. I gave a turquoise Canoe to one of my grand daughters several years back, it's still going strong. She loves it. I had no idea they made so many different handle materials in the Canoe pattern.
