Featured Comment by Craig Henry on July 31, 2012 at 18:32: I be afeared that I am cursed by cold steel fever. Going on 40 years now. Longer if you count the Scout knife that I loved when I was a scout in the 50's.

Man, what is it about these things?

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on July 31, 2012 at 17:32: Hi guys. Been away.....on a, uh.....vision quest? Well, what happened was I realized I couldn't be faithful to RRs! I kept saying that I wasn't going to spend the higher prices on other knives......I lied. I'm spending higher prices on other brands of knives. Yes that's right, I'm cheating on RR. There, I said it.

I just knew it was going to happen one day. I just have too much love to spread around. I might be back here from time to time, but you'll also find me at the......Boker group (!), and the........GEC group!!

What have I done, what have I done? Will you ever forgive me?

Comment by J.J. Smith III on July 30, 2012 at 20:29: The whole family got Rough Riders when we stopped at SMKW over the weekend. The girls got toothpicks, the wife got a ladys leg and I got whittlers.

Comment by Jan Carter on July 30, 2012 at 19:34: Adam,

What is not to love. Great cost factor, well built and tend to hold up well. Handle choices are top notch.

So what did you buy?

Comment by robert benton on July 26, 2012 at 15:06: just went on SMKW,s website it looks like they have a RR trapperlock coming out similar to the one made by case

Comment by J.J. Smith III on July 17, 2012 at 18:58: I'll be able to get to SMKW, for several hours, later this month.

Getting a list of RR's togather...

Comment by J.J. Smith III on July 17, 2012 at 18:57: No tattoos.

(No hair on my arms much of the time though.)

Comment by Steve Williams on July 17, 2012 at 18:55: Billy, back before the bad guys all started carrying guns, we used to be watchful for "Knifefighter's Mange"...that and the right tattoo(s) meant that you had a bad lad on your hands!
