Comment by Billy Oneale on August 10, 2011 at 21:40: I didn't know if I would really like the Stroke of Luck series, so I bought the whittler to check it out. I think I will have to get the rest of the series. It really was nicer than I expected. Iv'e been trying to stick mainly with Made in USA lately. Here is a picture.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on July 19, 2011 at 17:28: Got a boy whittlin and they've omitted a whittler in the series?

Comment by Tobias Gibson on July 18, 2011 at 20:49: I like the moonshiner series better as well, including the blade etch. I might get the the blue moon canoe, but you are correct, a blue moon is full, not crescent. And that etch remind me a lot of SKG DreamWorks pictures.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on July 18, 2011 at 18:51: Maybe so, but it still referrs to a full moon. I liked the shield better on the "Moonshine" series.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on June 29, 2011 at 9:24: There are two definition of a blue moon. The most common today has a blue moon is the second full moon in the same month. Next one is August 31, 2112.

Or if you go by an older definition it is the fourth full moon of a season (summer, Spring, winter or fall) Going by that defintion, you'll be waiting until August 12, 2013.

Either way, "once in a blue moon" means not very often or rare

Comment by J.J. Smith III on June 28, 2011 at 19:13: I realize thar RR wanted to use a shield that they already had, but isn't a "Blue Moon" a full moon?

Just sayin...

Comment by Jan Carter on June 18, 2011 at 20:12: I like the color of the colt model. I think my son would like this series

Comment by Billy Oneale on June 13, 2011 at 23:35: I haven't really looked at the Blue Moon series closely yet. Just glancing at it, I think I like the color. The Chinese made Remington's, Colt and Rough Rider are all made in the same factory, and as Toby said they are all SMKW trademarks. Well at least the Colt and Rough Rider are. I'm not sure about SMKW having the Remington rights. I think some of the Remington's are SFO's for SMKW. I would like to know for sure about Remington as I collect Remington, especially bullet knives and USA made .
