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

Comment by Tobias Gibson on February 29, 2012 at 9:55: got to wonder about some of the Colt knives vs. RR vs. Remingtons made in China. The similarities are striking! Same with the Marbles, and few other SMKW house brands.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on February 29, 2012 at 9:38: Robert, when you get your Moose, please come and join us at the group "Box Full of Knives" in the sub-group "Moose Pattern Knives". You could post a picture of your new Moose knives and chit chat with other members that have had the Moose Pattern bug bite.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on February 23, 2012 at 22:38: No, I have not heard from Craig, Some times we have medical problems. I had some myself. We can just hope everything is fine.

Comment by Billy Oneale on February 23, 2012 at 21:43: Has anyone heard from Craig, lately?

Comment by Billy Oneale on February 23, 2012 at 21:41: The Black Pearl is one of the better looking pearls.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on February 23, 2012 at 18:19: I normally don't buy a lot of pearl, but I do kinda like the black pearl. I recently picked up the black pearl peanut. Its an older pattern but it looks pretty nice. As the "Always Ready" blade etch. I not sure if that was just on the first run or not.

Pattern number was RR237. It came in the old yellow box. The picture doesn't do the knife justice. The small pen blade is a bit tough to open, but to be honest the pen blade on my Case Peanuts are even harder! All in all I('m very pleased with it.

KnifeMaker Comment by Tom Hudson on February 19, 2012 at 20:25: Thats a looker alright - I have been carrying a RR Trapper every day for the past 6 months & I use it everyday - edge has held up great - before I retired from knifemaking & would get $450.00 to build a 2 blade Trapper - & to think these RR's can be built with this quality & sell for 5/10/20 bucks is beyond my DNA - tom
