Comment by Jan Carter on September 25, 2012 at 20:34: I can only think that they would start with a portion of the line. But here is a thought. what about a new line.....

Comment by Billy Oneale on September 25, 2012 at 20:26: I think it's great.

Comment by Jan Carter on September 25, 2012 at 20:25: I wonder if they are thinking of upscaling a portion of the line. 1095 would be nice. I would take another look at some of those whittlers they have

Comment by robert benton on September 25, 2012 at 15:58: Saw it on RR,s FB page they are coming out with some carbon steel knives, it,s about time!

Comment by Tobias Gibson on September 17, 2012 at 9:26: After over a year of waiting, I've decdide I've waited long enough. I'm planning on putting the scales I want, on the Rough Rider pattern I want. But I've never done this. Can anyone give me advice on how hard it is to remove the scales on a Rough rider knife? I plan to do this for their scout knives and their large toothpicks. I know there are pins that just hold the scales on and then a pin that is also there for the back spring. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Comment by robert benton on August 31, 2012 at 13:30: Hell everyone well i got the RR linerlock trappers. 1 in red jigged bone 1 in yellow comp. the design is almost identical to a boker trapperliner. the blade is identical, the thumbstud is steel and not plastic like the boker,the pivot washers are steel,the bokers are nylon. i really like the knife the only thing that i can find that i do not like is the cut out in the handle is not deep enough which makes opening a little difficult. fit and finish is good as usual with RR Brand. i reccomennd getting one. Robert

Comment by Tobias Gibson on August 29, 2012 at 16:59: Thanks Robert! They've been advertising them for over a month! About time they had them for sale.

Comment by robert benton on August 29, 2012 at 14:51: New RR pattern now available at SMKW -single blade liner lock trapper-brown or red jigged bone scales,yellow composition also available.two ordered.looks similar to the boker version

Comment by Jan Carter on August 17, 2012 at 17:11: very disappointing Tobias. Maybe something special will jump out at you. No new patterns or handle materials either?
