I just got this Rough Rider RR22034BN orange smooth bone trapper. I have never seen this type of RR model no. before. Is it a new numbering system for RR? Can anyone tell me anything about it?…Continue

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on January 8, 2013 at 20:03: Graig, I wrote a letter to one of the high profile members of their crew, about a small problem I had and he took care of the problem, plus wrote me back with an explanation. You may try writing them a personal letter, like I did.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on January 8, 2013 at 16:56: Hmmm, interesting. What about RR4XX, RR5XX and RR6XX. One of my mini-Trappers with the old original tang stamp is RR493.

It would be nice if SMKW would just tell someone what is going on. I tried contacting them a year or so ago.....they never answered me.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on January 8, 2013 at 16:22: Okay, I'm fairly certain of it now. The RR that are numbered:

RR 13XX = 2013 releases

RR12XX = 2012 Releases

RR11XX = 2011 releases

RR10XX = 2010 releases

Not sure about the ones before that. RR 9XX, RR 8XX, etc. but they could be 2009, 2008, and so on. Can anyone confirm my suspicion?

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on January 7, 2013 at 16:51: Nice ones Brad! I like imitation tortoise. I wish more companies used it!

Comment by Brad T. on January 7, 2013 at 16:49: the work knife has arrived. I am impressed with the stoutness of this knife. Strong pull, solid lock and a solid snap on closing. The congress is a little thin and the closing snap is weak on the Sheepfoot blades, but the blades are tight.

Comment by Brad T. on January 5, 2013 at 10:49: Correction to the description of the middle defective knife (RR1204) is "Purple Swirl" Celluloid. I really like that handle because you can see the brass liner through the swirl, which gives it Purple and gold appearance.

Tobias, I didn't expect a stout knife in this pattern, my only disappointment is in the seller who sold me a knife with a bent tip. Otherwise I am satisfied with the purchase of these knives. Am truly excited to receive the Tortoise Soddy and Congress next week.
