I believe I have just about every known scale, bolster, and shield combo, but I want any old or new combinations out there. I generally have triplicate in many discontinued and some rare small…Continue

Great quality knives for the money!

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

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on August 9, 2012 at 18:06: I like the splotchy dye job too, JJ. Where did you find the spelling on a word like "Splotchy"? You blew me away with that one..lol

Comment by J.J. Smith III on August 9, 2012 at 14:36: Billy, the bone was supposed to look like the Ladies Leg. Splotchy dye job gives it some character.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on August 9, 2012 at 1:19: I like that Midnight Swirl Toothpick.

Comment by Billy Oneale on August 8, 2012 at 20:23: Those are all nice J.J. I really like the way the bone looks on that Whittler.

Comment by Jan Carter on August 8, 2012 at 17:40: JJ,

I like all the girls knives too. On yours, can we now call it a wharnie foot?

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on August 8, 2012 at 17:23: Hey, I love that Canoe Whittler, I like those scales too, JJ.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on August 8, 2012 at 17:12: Ok, Billy, I managed to get the knives from the girls for a photo shoot.

Here's my wife's "leg"...

Kaylin's toothpick...

and Karlee's toothpick...

and finally my locking canoe. (love the imperfect dye job here.)...

Comment by J.J. Smith III on August 8, 2012 at 17:07: Not really smooth, Jan, just smoothed a bit and rounded the edges of the scales (kinda like the CASE Pocket Worn knives). Here it is, after I finished sanding the scales. I also took some of the sharp edges and corners off of the bolsters.

Compare it to my other one. See also the modification to the sheeps foot?

Comment by Jan Carter on August 7, 2012 at 17:26: JJ, would love to see that whittlin buddy with smooth handles. I can see that knife being very user friendly with peach pits

Comment by J.J. Smith III on August 5, 2012 at 20:18: Billy, I'll probably never see the knives that I got for the girls again, to take pics of them, but I'll try. Looking at the pics at SMKW, my locking canoe (Item # RR1078) is pretty similar to the pic, with the irregular dye. I'll post a pic when we get some sun. About finished smoothing out the scales on the whittlin buddy. Still trying to decide if I want to modify the sheeps-foot or not.
