When I photograph my Scrimshaw set tomorrow, I take a pic of the Battle Axe series. I have the complete set.
Hey Chuck, great looking knives! Thanks for the pictures. You certainly got your moneis worth on these pretty knives. I am sure other Rough Rider collectors will like your post.
Billy, I really like your RR stag lockback with the engraved blade. I seem to miss out on those good deals. Hey Chuck, please post us a picture of one of your Rough Riders. We enjoy seeing everyones, knives.
I really enjoy my Rough Riders and always look them up first when the catalog comes.
Not so much a box o knives but a drawer full of Rough Rider Coal Miners. The little coin is a piece of Coal Scrip issued by the Crummies Creek No.1 Coal Company in Cawood Kentucky. The face value on the coin is five cents, good only at the Campany store! (My mom's side of the family is from Cawood, Ky.)
I should just give up. I've been trying real hard to buy more American made knives but then Rough Rider comes along and offers this Half-Hawk in the Coal Miner Series. (as well as in other handles, including rhe Outdoorrsman Series.)
How was I not suppose to buy it! I mean its a rope knife / cotton sampler, just all around cool knife and I needed it to complete the series!
