Yeah I kick myself sometimes but at other times I reminded to happy with what you have. It that's that commandment about not coveting thy neighbors knife.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on December 8, 2011 at 6:09: Did someone say Moonshiner?

I only have the Sowbelly. I need to get around to picking up the canoe. I wish they'd make their scout knife in this pattern. The blade etch and the corncob jig is flat-out beautiful.

The only real ptoblem with the collection is all the barrels and the flask. Each knife comes with one and they add to the cost. At the end of the day, the barrels take up a lot of space. Don't get me wrong, I like both the barrel and the flask, but if I get around to getting more (if they are re-released) I'm not sure what I'll do with all the barrels.

Comment by Billy Oneale on December 7, 2011 at 22:56: The only Bowie series RR I have is a leg knife I bought for my wife. Oh! I guess it's not really mine. Robert, I don't have a moonshiner knives, but I think they look good.

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.
