Comment by Billy Oneale on February 2, 2012 at 22:43: Toby, great looking knives. I noticed a show or two ago that they hade made a run of Stoneworx leg knives. I have all of them except that new leg. I will have to buy it for my wife.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on February 2, 2012 at 7:59: I got a set of the 2nd generation stags from RR, when they came out. Only have the whittler from the firts gen. 2nd gen is far superior. The stag fixed blades look tempting.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on February 2, 2012 at 7:49: Those are great, Tobias.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on February 1, 2012 at 18:49: Just when I think I've run out of Rough Riders I wan to buy, I suddenly get an urge for more peanuts. Two days ago I had four. Now I've got five and one on the way (Steve Koontz told me I better get the RR Stag peanut before they're all gone as Rough rider has no plans to make Stag handles in the future.

Here are all my peanuts:

Left to right,

Steel Warrior Croc Bone

Steel Warrior Key Lime Bone

Case Peach Seed Jigged Amber Bone

Rough Rider Smooth White Bone

Rough Rider Stoneworks Series.

The latest edition is the Stoneworx Peanut:

Closed

Opened

As I like the small patterns, I also have the Stoneworx Baby Toothpick

And a Few other of the Stoneworx series. I normally don't collect whole series, just certaint patterns. But the stoneworx knives just keep suckering me in.

So that means pattern wise, I'm not collecting

Large Toothpicks (RR has 5, so do I)

Rope Knives (RR really doesn't make them, the closest is the hawkbill)

Marlin Spike knives (They have 5 I have 6 by RR)

Scout knives (They make 2 I have Both)

Canittlers (They make a total of 7 and I have all 7)

Bartenders (They make 3 and I have 3)

Equal-end two blade pen knives & associated Gentleman's knives

(RR makes 2 and I have them)

and

Peanuts (I have no idea how many they make and it scares me)

I think I have enough Canoes and Sowbellies to add them to the list of patterns I collect but I'm fairly dormant with those.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on January 30, 2012 at 17:34: I have both on the way, I'll post a picture when they get here.

Comment by robert benton on January 30, 2012 at 16:27: The moose looks nice,Will have to get one soon

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on January 29, 2012 at 16:09: Thanks Tobias, I plan to order one this week. I got to get that Moose......

Comment by Tobias Gibson on January 29, 2012 at 10:49: About the Razors (As in straight razors) if I heard the boys on KnivesLive TV correctly, this is brand new to the Rough Rider line. I'm guessing, in this case, they are responding to the success that Frost and all their related brands have been having.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on January 28, 2012 at 20:02: This is the image Jan was pointing towards. A fairly big knife. 4.25 inches closed. Has the new "bomb shield"
