Comment by Tobias Gibson on December 3, 2012 at 12:55: Just a shameless plug. I've revamped my Rough Rider Reviews web site so that it is hopefully easier to use and more meaningful. Basically I give my over all opinion of Rough rider Knives and then briefer reviews on individual knives. The in depth reviews of specific patterns are still there but will slowly be re-written and cleaned up. I'm also in the process of adding more photos to go along with the text.

Latest additions include a review of the Stoneworx line of knives, a mini neck knife, and the Orca Dive knife. Find it all at http://blindkat.hegewisch.net/RRR/

Comment by Billy Oneale on November 24, 2012 at 15:25: They did say that paratrooper was made in El Salvador on the show that night. I ended up buying that Condor nesmuk Bowie they showed last night along with that RR Black Pearl trapper they showed.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on November 24, 2012 at 0:50: RR using carbon steel? COOL!

Comment by Tobias Gibson on November 23, 2012 at 18:57: Not sure if anyone heard Josh talking about the RR paratrooper Bowie on last Tueday but he confirmed my suspicions on the blade. It is NOT 440A Stainless Steel. It is actually 1075 Carbon Steel, making it one the very few carbon steel RRs (the others being the Damascus blades). He didn't say but as the Marbles machetes are made in the Condor Factory, I'm betting this knife was as well.

Comment by robert benton on November 19, 2012 at 10:12: they are solid steve,more money than RR but worth it.i also picked up a RR scout in red jigged bone,very impressed with it built to last and for 10 bucks a real bargain.

Comment by robert benton on November 19, 2012 at 6:33: Hello all, i want to wish everyone on the RR forum and all of IKC a happy thanksgiving!. I also picked up one of the new Robt. Klaas knives made in china. it is a trapper in rams horn.the quality of this knife is right up there with RR, the rams horn is very nice.the only place that the knife is marked made in china is on the box and a sticker on the clip blade. i like rams horn and wish RR would make some with rams horn.

Comment by robert benton on November 7, 2012 at 10:36: You are welcome steve, SMKW has them for around 10 bucks. They look just like a boker trapperliner.

Comment by robert benton on November 7, 2012 at 7:14: Hello all, I have been toting one of the new RR linerlock trapper patterns for several weeks now and i must say it is a great EDC knife.my knife has the yellow composition handles. when i first got it the blade was a little stiff to open but after some lube and repeated opening and closing of the blade it has smoothed out and opens very easy now. i recommend this knife to all of the RR fans on this forum.

Comment by Billy Oneale on October 21, 2012 at 20:15: I like the look of that bone.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on October 21, 2012 at 18:54: I recently bought the "Orca Dive Knife" I'll take some pics and a do a review soon. If nothing else it makes for an interesting fridge magnet. The magnet on the end is really strong!
