Comment by Chuck Parham on April 14, 2013 at 6:41: That's a very impressive collection Tobias! I especially like the turquoise and Stoneworx knives.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on April 13, 2013 at 21:08: Funny thing happened. One morning I woke up and found out I was collecting Rough Rider Canoes. It was planned.

and then there's the Canittlers but at least those were on purpose! Somebady help me before I start going after more the butterbeans! (only one of those (top, right corner below - Im Abalone mini-canoe)

Comment by Billy Oneale on April 13, 2013 at 20:47: Nice set, Chuck. Toby, I like that canoe. Those are not real easy to find anymore.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on April 13, 2013 at 19:53: Wow, guys thats some fine sets of knives. I really enjoy seeing them as a group.

Comment by Chuck Parham on April 13, 2013 at 14:02: That is one beautiful knife! Simple lines yet a subtle touch of elegance. The box is an excellent addition or rather a nice compliment to the knife. Well done!

Comment by Tobias Gibson on April 13, 2013 at 12:27: My latest Rough Rider. It's an older pattern: RR696 Feather Canoe This is the early Turquoise Canoes with the Feather shield and Jade like box..

Blades are a little stiff but I think that's because the knife was "new old stock" There was a small burr in the file worked bolster that needed sanding down but other wise an excellent little canoe.
