Comment by Billy Oneale on October 6, 2011 at 21:55: Craig, pictures please. I want to see what it looks like.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on October 6, 2011 at 18:59: Might want to share your thoughts with Rough Rider. Who knows they may tint the bone a shade of gray or may lighter brown and come out with an Armadillo series. Maybe have an armadillo blade etch or perhaps give it a Texas theme. suddenly i want to sing a Gary P. Nunn song.

But no joke, share your thought with Rough Rider. They do listen.

Comment by Jan Carter on October 6, 2011 at 17:17: Craig,

Glad you like it, thanks for the reference on how it appears to you more like an armadillo. Changes a bit how I was seeing it, because I could not put the samuri reference into context with the knife.

Really glad to know that this RR feels more like it's not only good for the price but a steal for that price. This speaks volumes for how RR is becoming more and more a quality peice

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on September 30, 2011 at 0:05: I'm getting ready to put in a big RR Stockman pattern order. One will be with Armor Hide handles, so, we'll see if I like it as much in person as in pictures.

Comment by Jan Carter on September 24, 2011 at 15:21: You also have to hand it to them for thier ability to older patterns and make them fresh looking. I like that locking trapper and the match strike pull and the open oval just give it a freash new look

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on September 23, 2011 at 11:35: You gotta give it to the designers at Rough Riders, they keep coming up with new and interesting materials for their cutlery.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on September 22, 2011 at 17:55: Hey Tobias, I didn't get the ASOL Canoe yet, BUT, I did do some searching for images on google and I found several ASOL Canoe pictures that showed both sides, and they matched very well.

Comment by Billy Oneale on September 21, 2011 at 21:48: I have also thought about the Armor Hide. I'm going to have to realize that I can't have everything. I'll be interested in the review of it.

Comment by Billy Oneale on September 21, 2011 at 21:45: Here are some pics of that locking trapper, Robert. They are not some of my best pics, but here they are.You push down on the second blade to unlock the knife for folding. I like the eye for opening and the wharncliff blade that is on it.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on September 21, 2011 at 19:33: I may pick up the hawkbill in the armor hide but I'm not sure. I'm also not sure about the whole "Samaurai" thing but it reminds me of "Steel Warrior". Hopefully that isn't what they were going for. When they talked about the knives on Knives Live TV, they said the jig pattern was reminiscent of the old Samurai's suit of armor. Regardless of how it looks, its is going to be as tough as any other RR bone handle, which in itself is not a bad thing. I would guess the box was design by Brian Wilhoite but can't say for certain. I wish they would've made a 5 inch toothpick but alas, my pleas fall on deaf ears.
