Ok, I've got a new small knife for EDC....if I can only decide which I like better; RR1028 Tiny Trapper with Bark Bone, RR858 Baby Barehead Trapper, or RR765 Baby Trapper (Copperhead Trapper) amber jigged bone.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on October 18, 2011 at 5:57: I've dealt with this guy quite a bit. Some people can't stand him but he has always done alright by me. His names is Gary Yokom. He only ships things twice a week.

He probably took some flack because he distributes primarily knives made in China. He was somehow affilliasted with the three guys who were involved with the U.S.Classic brands.   His own brand is "Raging Bull" which is only sold at his eBay Store. All werre made in the same factory as RRs

The easiest way to see everything he sells is by typing "zix" in the eBay search box. Outside of SMKW, he often has the cheapest "Buy It Now" prices for Rough Riders on eBay.

And he does seem to get the RRs before SMKW.   Beats me how he does it.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on October 18, 2011 at 0:00: The place I saw the good photos of the Trapper and Congress is KY-Knives on ebay. He had the Armor Hide knives before anyone else too.

Comment by Billy Oneale on October 17, 2011 at 20:09: It seems like Big Mike is able to get some of the RR before SMKW sells them. I noticed Ivars web address for the pics was from Saturday night knife and gun show. I usually watch that on the computer since I am On direct tv.

Comment by Billy Oneale on October 17, 2011 at 19:56: Maybe an Elephant toenail.

Comment by Jan Carter on October 17, 2011 at 17:45: Good find on the pics Ivars, thanks. I like the Rat

Comment by Tobias Gibson on October 17, 2011 at 11:09: While. i like the bolsters, I'm hoping to see something out of the ordinary, pattern wise. So far it is looking like the same standard patterns. Hopefully they'll throw me a bone, like a large toothpick, marlin spike, or an electrician or something.
