In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on January 18, 2012 at 9:11: Last night on Knives Live TV, they introduced the first Moose pattern in the RR line. The number is RR1197, it has bone handles, ya'll check it out. Hey, welcome Jay, thanks for the info on that engraving.

Comment by Jay Sack on January 18, 2012 at 8:26: I am new to this group. I have made one purchase a rough rider painted desert muskrat (RR1003) . I picked this knife in part because I want to try out the pattern. However, I also found a website hand-tools.com that has a great selection of knives. They also offer laser engraving (up to 33 characters) for $4.95. I am now waitng for delivery of my engraved knife.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on January 13, 2012 at 11:32: Thanks for the heads up there, Tobais.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on January 13, 2012 at 11:28: In case you didn't know:

SMKW $5 flat rate shipping (domestic) on $50 or more purchase, all of January Code: JAN550.

So this would be a good time to buy some of those Rough Riders, you've been thinking about.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on January 11, 2012 at 17:42: I just recently stopped carrying a Rough Rider Scout Knife. All in all I think Rough Riders make great EDCs (as well as collectibles). My only problem was I seem to need a Phillips screwdriver an awful lot these days, and I wanted it to be an in-line Phillips. More and more I was also wishing I had a small flashlight. As much as I liked the Scout Knife, I had to leave it behind for the Victorinox Swiss Army Spartan Lite.   I miss the inline punch of the Scout knife but I’ll just have to deal with the back mounted one of the SAK.

This knife:

Was just replaced with this knife:

The RR cost about $10-15. The SAK was a steal at $25.   Going price is $35-50! Was my RR lacking? Only once or so in a blue moon. Thus it really was a good all around EDC.

That said there are still several RR that are my Sunday go to Meetin' knives. Among them, my Toothpicks. Nothing like a Stoneworx Toothpick for a Sunday meeting.   (The one on the right is for big important meetings.)

Comment by robert benton on January 11, 2012 at 14:55: Does anyone carry a RR on a daily basis if so which one. for me it,s a stag medium stockman or a boxcar whittler in smooth black bone.

Comment by Jan Carter on January 7, 2012 at 17:15: Ron,

That twisted bone sure is sweet

Comment by Billy Oneale on January 5, 2012 at 20:53: Great pic, Stephen.

Comment by Billy Oneale on January 5, 2012 at 20:32: I really like that twisted bone hunter.

Comment by Mel Jones on January 5, 2012 at 19:42: Thanks for educating me more on the Moose pattern. It seems the more I understand something comes along that changes things. Keeps it interesting for sure. Very happy to be in the forums.
