Although an Import Rough Rider Brand by Smoky Mountain Knife Works continues to get high marks as a favorite for collectors.

Many of the Rough Rider patterns I own are similar to some of the Case patterns I own. When comparing the quality, fit and finish these knives are a great value. What really makes them great is I…Continue

She's a carver, not a collector. For general use 420 is fine, but the 440 that is used in RR is appearantly closer to the specs in a fixed carver. As much sharpening as I do on my whittlers, RR's hold up among the top 3.
Nice that he is plugging RR but he doesn't seem to know much about pocket knives. The buck is a 420HC and isn't too bad a knife. I'll agree it is more due to name recognition that it cost more than a Rough Rider. Here is a nice review Rough Rider vs Eye Brand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO4uGeDEzE0
Found this on YouTube. Carver talking abour Rough Rider knives.
i have not posted in a while but i recently picked up a colt ct323 large moose in brown stag bone, i am very impressed with this knife very well built it is a bit larger than th rr moose which is next on my list any one else have one of the colts.
That would be the Stoneworx Toothpick. I got one of those the first time around and it was terrific. f anyone picks it up let me know what you think. what I like most about it is that is has the most Turquoise in it. Most of the others Stoneworx knives run on the Red Jasper side.
Well I see that this month they have a large toothpick in the RR line, part #RR917. Thanks SMKW for the knife.
Great job Tobias, cant wait to see what all came home
Haven't posted for a while. Many of you already know I made it down to SMKW a week or so ago. I actually tried not to buy any Rough Riders figuring I could buy them later. Still I had to visit the booth. As I was there I saw the Once in a blue moon 5 inch lockback. I really don't care much for the 5 inch LB but I saw this one and it started my RR spending spree. I'll post others later.
Nice packaging and really nice nylon pouch with horizontal and vertical carry options.
Nice reverse frosting, very nice dye job, very positive lock, and terrific profile with the swedge on the blade and slanted bolsters.
Another vier of etch and the swedge on the blade. The knife has a slimmer profile than my Bear & Son 5 inch LB (my only other 5 in lockback) but still feels great in the hand. The RR 1192 goes for $11.95. At that price it is a steal. If you're a fan of 5 inch LB or just want to see if you like the pattern, I'd say snatch this one up.
I saw them, but thought the price was 14.99.
