Comment by robert benton on December 7, 2011 at 16:51: Well the Rough Rider bug bit again after reading tobias review on the paratrooper bowie i ordered it and was not dissapointed.I was told that it was made in El salvador by the same company that makes Condor knives.It will make a good utility /Camp knife,Sharpened up nice. Also ordered a RR muskrat in the Moonshiner series.Anyone have one of these?

Comment by Billy Oneale on December 5, 2011 at 22:44: Well, I fell off the wagon and ended up buying 6 rough riders over the last weekend. Pictures to follow when I get them. I think I bought 4 from SMKW and a couple from Big Mike.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on December 1, 2011 at 17:28: I've got three old yellers. While all are quite good, I don't really collect them. I grabbed the Gent's whittler, because I got it on $3 bid and free shipping. The locking canittler and the rigger were bought because I collect the pattern. I suspect I will wind up with more old yellers despite not buying that handle material out right.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on December 1, 2011 at 17:05: I also like old yeller......I need more.......

Comment by Tobias Gibson on November 30, 2011 at 19:35: About the imitation Abalone -- I've got the 3 inch toothpick and the Butterbean (mini canoe). They're purty little things. Nice little Sunday knives.

White smooth bone and abalone toothpick (3 inch)

Comment by Tobias Gibson on November 30, 2011 at 19:17: Ebay got back to me about the person using my pictures for their bid. I hope no one here was bidding.

Ebay said:

"We are pleased to inform you that the following listing(s) you reported have been removed from eBay in response to the Notice of Claimed Infringement you recently sent"

Now maybe it seems like I was a jerk, but I contacted the seller two days before reporting the problem to eBay. Had he got back to me with a sincere apology and/or I promise not to do it again. things would've been different. As it is, he ignored me.

Last I saw the bid was over $22 including the postage. You can get it for that with a guarantee from SMKW these days considering all the free shipping deals.
