Comment by Billy Oneale on January 15, 2013 at 21:20: Here is my newest RR. I decided to EDC this one. It was not razor sharp out of the box as most of my RR's have been, but didn't take long to fix the problem. Anyway, it only cost me around $8.00 anyway. I'm really liking this one since it has a pocket clip and is really light.

Comment by Steven Matthew on January 15, 2013 at 9:44: Nice to see someone that matches their sunglasses to their knife!

LOL! The tortoise seems to mach my tobacco stained teeth.

just kidding. But really, it does!

Comment by Brad T. on January 15, 2013 at 8:31: It cracked and broke off. Don't know when it happened, because I can't find the piece that is missing. I've decided to move it to the head of the line in re-work.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on January 14, 2013 at 20:27: did it pop off or crack?

Comment by Brad T. on January 14, 2013 at 19:28: Hmmm. The handle broke.. Don't remember dropping it. No more plastic handles for me. Into the rework box it will go, there is a 1 year waiting list once it is there.

Comment by Brad T. on January 14, 2013 at 14:35: I like the tortoise handles because they match my sunglasses. A man must know how to match his accessories. LOL

Comment by Billy Oneale on January 12, 2013 at 21:38: That is a nice handle material. I have several in the Rough Rider and Marbles line.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on January 12, 2013 at 21:20: I know we were talking about tortoise shell somewhere. Can't quite remember where, however. Here's a few more The RR505 Tortoise Toothpick and the RR495 Tortoise peanut.

From what I've heard, the US knife industry stopped making knives with tortoise shell handles in 1904. Some companies in Europe continued to make them until perhaps the 1920s.
