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

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.
I would also like to see a full sized toothpick please. In Tobacco bone if I could
They read this forum daily my friend, don't think they don't. We don't need a petition just get more people to sound off. The tooth picks I've gotten are maybe 4 inch and on the light side. They need a full size.
Robert,
You and me both on the toothpicks. They only make 4 or5 four inch toothpicks and only 5 five inch toothpicks. I've got around 8 or soo of the babies but i really like the standard and the large toothpicks.
We need to start a petition for more large frame Rough Rider Toothpicks.

I love those fancy Barlows. I wish their toothpicks were larger. I am missing alot not veiwing their TV show.
Billy, I also had to jump on the baby barlow LB. Grabbed it and the Armour-hide Tiny Toothpick at the same time. I had no intention of buying but when Knives Live offered the free KLTV/SMKW church key to go with a purchase for free, on top of $5 shipping on any order, I had to go for it.
PS, I'm also a person who thinks they need to re-release the armor hides as Armadillo jigged bone. The whole samari thing is just too steel warrior for me. And while I think Steel Warriors are a decent knife, I don't want the lines between RR and Frost to get blurred.
ever one who buy's rough riders get all the stag they made heard little bird told me
Billy, I love Barlows, and the fancier the better and that looks like a fancy one. The Moose's are nice, check out the swedges on the top of the blades, something some expensive knives seem to have forgotten. Once you start Moose hunting you just can't stop...lol
