Comment by J.J. Smith III on April 16, 2012 at 9:51: She's a carver, not a collector. For general use 420 is fine, but the 440 that is used in RR is appearantly closer to the specs in a fixed carver. As much sharpening as I do on my whittlers, RR's hold up among the top 3.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on April 15, 2012 at 19:59: Nice that he is plugging RR but he doesn't seem to know much about pocket knives. The buck is a 420HC and isn't too bad a knife. I'll agree it is more due to name recognition that it cost more than a Rough Rider. Here is a nice review Rough Rider vs Eye Brand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO4uGeDEzE0

Comment by Billy Oneale on April 14, 2012 at 16:10: No, I don't have one, but I would like to see it, Robert. I have 4 of the RR Moose's. I think RR only has 6 in the Moose pattern.

Comment by robert benton on April 14, 2012 at 11:37: i have not posted in a while but i recently picked up a colt ct323 large moose in brown stag bone, i am very impressed with this knife very well built it is a bit larger than th rr moose which is next on my list any one else have one of the colts.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on April 11, 2012 at 17:56: That would be the Stoneworx Toothpick. I got one of those the first time around and it was terrific. f anyone picks it up let me know what you think. what I like most about it is that is has the most Turquoise in it. Most of the others Stoneworx knives run on the Red Jasper side.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on April 11, 2012 at 17:43: Well I see that this month they have a large toothpick in the RR line, part #RR917. Thanks SMKW for the knife.

Comment by Jan Carter on April 1, 2012 at 20:31: Great job Tobias, cant wait to see what all came home

Comment by Tobias Gibson on March 30, 2012 at 9:28: Haven't posted for a while. Many of you already know I made it down to SMKW a week or so ago. I actually tried not to buy any Rough Riders figuring I could buy them later. Still I had to visit the booth. As I was there I saw the Once in a blue moon 5 inch lockback. I really don't care much for the 5 inch LB but I saw this one and it started my RR spending spree. I'll post others later.

Nice packaging and really nice nylon pouch with horizontal and vertical carry options.

Nice reverse frosting, very nice dye job, very positive lock, and terrific profile with the swedge on the blade and slanted bolsters.

Another vier of etch and the swedge on the blade. The knife has a slimmer profile than my Bear & Son 5 inch LB (my only other 5 in lockback) but still feels great in the hand. The RR 1192 goes for $11.95. At that price it is a steal. If you're a fan of 5 inch LB or just want to see if you like the pattern, I'd say snatch this one up.
