Hi Mel,

I've seen a variety knives refered to as "Moose"  some in swell center, humpback , equal-end/cigar and serpentine.  

My opinion (and it is just that) is the Moose is a large, thick  frame knife (four inches or more) with a large clip blade at  the top and a large spay blade at the bottom.  Normally the blades operate on their own springs and have a space between them (but not always).

As the RR is just 3.5 inches closed, I consider a  somewhat puny Moose or a Moosling.

(PS, the Boker Moose pattern  has clip and spear blade and often a swell or serpentine handle... The Case moose is built on the #75 frame -a  square end serpentine frame)

I guess i don' t know about the Moose pattern as I thought it was raised in the middle. The Blue Moon doesn't. Educate me, please.

Craig said "A Teddy Roosevelt  "Bull Moose" Moose knife seems like a natural."

My actual suggestion was to have it be a commemorative  and to sell it in a display that included one of the Teddy Roosevelt Coins to be issued in 2013 by the U.S. Mint.  That coin  should be released around the middle of May, 2013.  which would put the knife/coin combo ready in time for the Christmas rush.   Seems to me it belongs with the Rough Rider line.  But I'd guess if they don't snag it, someone over at Cutlery Corner will!

Wouldn't hurt for a few other people to mention it to Mr. Koontz at SMKW.  I think he'd be a person who could make it happen.

some RR patterns made with buffalo horn handles would be nice too.

I know about the Colt moose knives, infact I own some, I meant the Rough Rider line.I don't think they made one. I like that idea "Bull Moose" it better be something special.

Robert,

The only moose in the Rough Rider line I'm aware of is the "Once in a Blue Moon" which is made on the Remington/Colt Frame.

I've suggested they make a Teddy Roosevelt commemorative  "Moose" knife called the "Bull Moose"  We'll see if that happens.

Talking about new knives this year has anyone seen a RR moose patern knife before? I have looked all over and can't find one. I guess none were ever made.
