Although an Import Rough Rider Brand by Smoky Mountain Knife Works continues to get high marks as a favorite for collectors.

Many of the Rough Rider patterns I own are similar to some of the Case patterns I own. When comparing the quality, fit and finish these knives are a great value. What really makes them great is I…Continue

It is truly conjecture on my part. SMKW outsources several knives with carbon steel blades (normally 1070) to Condor Knife and Tool. This includes the orange Marbles machetes and field knives and the Rough Rider Paratrooper Bowie. so in theory at least one RR knife has been made of Carbon Steel for some time.
It might be a rumor but El Salvador makes some great carbon steel machetes. That might be a good place to have them made, if it's not just a rumor.
I'm of the opinion that these are now just a rumor. I assume if and when, they will be made in El Salvador.
Any idea when the RR carbon steel knives are coming out?
Thanks Chuck, the way I use a whistle for my dogs is mostly to catch their attention, that I am turning one way or the other, in the woods. I also use it to let them know where I am and if I blow it a lot. that I want them to come to me. I use them to find small game. The silent whistle may not work good for my needs.
Robert, I've had several of those types of dog whistles. I trained dogs for over 20 years for Obedience, Field, Tracking, Shutzhund, and Therapy dogs. I had several whistles tuned to the right pich for certain applications. A dog whistle is a great tool but you need to be taught how to use one just as the dog is taught how to respond to one.
That is a nice knife. I use a dog whistle in training some of my hunting dogs but it's just a regular whistle. Have ya'll ever used a dog whistle like the one on this knife?
Just looked it up. That's a pretty knife!!
