Comment by Brad T. on February 26, 2013 at 17:31: Alexander, that is a sweet looking knife. Is it a true damascus or etched?

Comment by Brad T. on February 26, 2013 at 17:27: I ordered 2 more Work Knives. Smooth Tobacco and a Jigged Amber bone, should be here by Monday.

Comment by Jan Carter on February 24, 2013 at 17:04: BARLOW!

Love the Tobacco bone, the shield and the pattern. Carry, enjoy and let us know what you think about it as an EDC

KnifeMaker Comment by Jeff Keeler on February 23, 2013 at 2:12: Got my two Rough Rider knives yesterday through the mail. Awesome blades. Like them both so much, not sure which one to carry. Canoe Jigged Bone Handle RR048, and Smooth Tobacco Bone Barlow RR783. IMG_0966.JPG IMG_0969.JPG

Comment by Tobias Gibson on February 19, 2013 at 12:48: Hi Jeff,

You'll notice a little bit of blade rub with the Canoe.(Its no worse than on a Case knife) The Barlow is part of the Outdoorsman Series. I like their Barlows. The blades are tight and the springs are strong but not so strong that you can't open the blades. In fact I like all three patterns of Barlows they make, the small lock back, the standard two blade and the grand-daddy. All are really nice and you can't beat the price.

KnifeMaker Comment by Jeff Keeler on February 19, 2013 at 6:58: New to the Rough Rider knives. Seen one a friend of mine had and he said it has been a good EDC knife with no problems. It was a canoe style. So to make a long story short, I have a canoe with jigged bone handles, RR048, comes with the older beige box, which is NIB. Also purchased a smooth tobacco bone barlow, RR783, with a inlay shield shaped like a acorn. Bought both on Ebay at very good prices. Looking forward to receiving them. I'll get some pics out as soon as they arrive.

Comment by Alexander Noot on February 18, 2013 at 13:34: Finally got me a rough rider I like enough to keep in the collection permanently, what do you guys think?

Comment by Billy Oneale on February 13, 2013 at 21:32: They had the Diamond Jim in a sow belly on the show last Friday.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on February 13, 2013 at 0:27: Got it for the boot, huh?

Got me an extra sowbelly, in the moonshiner series, for the barrel.

Comment by Billy Oneale on February 12, 2013 at 22:13: Well, here it is. My wife made me buy this for the boot. Here is the Diamond Jim series. I think it is pretty cool also. i may have to get more patterns in this. The box is pretty cool also.
