KnifeMaker Comment by Tom Hudson on December 10, 2011 at 20:04: I have had an account with Blue ridge for many years - I gave up on the rest a long time ago - If Blue Ridge don't have it - I just do with out - They still have the dealer 100 dollar min on an order - tom

Comment by Tobias Gibson on December 10, 2011 at 19:22: Edward, as Rough Riders are the House Brand fro Smoky Mountain Knife Works (SMKW) and Blue Ridge is the wholesaler/distributor for SMKW, I can't imagine that you would find them anywhere else. I Could be wrong, but I think Blue Ridge is going to be it. (I thought there minimum order is something like a $100 of merchandise. That may have changed)

I know a couple people who buy from Blue Ridge. They are able to make a few bucks selling RR but because of the low price already offered by SMKW, the only way the can under sell is by offering lower shipping charges.

With all the shipping deals that have been offered by Knives Live TV it has been hard for me to buy new from just about anyone else unless I managed to hit the jack pot on a bid on eBay. Anymore the only time I look on eBay is when it is out of stock at SMKW.

Comment by Billy Oneale on December 8, 2011 at 22:22: And here is the Battle Axe trapper. I had to oil the joint on the spey blade to get it to work smoothly. I thought I was going to have to make a call to SMKW tomorrow, but it started working smoothly after some oil.
