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

Comment by Dewey treat on June 19, 2019 at 16:13: I'm looking for a list of all RR knives, from day ONE to the present including patterns in a particular series, RR# and other such info. Is there such a list, and if so, where can I obtain a copy?

Thanks,

Dewey

Comment by Dewey treat on June 19, 2019 at 15:55: Mr. Smith, how does one go about dying bone scales? I assume it's done without removing them from the frame, correct? Very nice job, by the way. It appears to be a deep plum color. Have you ever tried to "pattern-dye" the scales. That's a term I just conjured up.... but I think you know what I mean. Kinda' like the old hippy "tie-dying" technique only maybe something along similar train's of thought with bone.

Comment by Dewey treat on June 19, 2019 at 15:46: I'm looking for RR knives in the Battle Axe series. Of the seven in the series, I have two, the mini-trapper with locking clip-blade and the muskrat. If anyone can steer me toward the remaining five.... the standard Trapper, the single-blade Trapper, small Lockback, Congress and Sowbelly..... I would be eternally grateful.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on June 18, 2019 at 22:34: Even dyed mine, Dewey.

Comment by Dewey treat on June 13, 2019 at 17:13: Like J.J. Smith III, I too recently found a nice RR 323. I was glad to see I'm not the only one who likes to "contour" the edges of the scales. I do the same with bolsters and springs.... to some extent.... just enough to give it a "pocket-worn" feel. The 323 is a nice knife, but I prefer the smaller stockman at 3 1/8" - 3 1/4" for EDC. It's just a personal preference, the 323 is a beautiful knife.

Comment by Dave Steiner on January 25, 2019 at 10:49: So being a pipe smoker along with a knife collector, I was happy to see the new pipe tool/knife for RR. Bought one for myself and one for a raffle in my pipe club. Just got it but I like it so far!

Comment by robert benton on September 15, 2018 at 19:00: Does anyone have a rough rider RR1129 trapper lock I'm currently carrying one I really like it

Comment by Tobias Gibson on September 12, 2018 at 18:34: Cool sunfish and holster, Ron!

Comment by Ron Gabriel on September 12, 2018 at 9:32: I started carrying my Rough Rider Sunfish while Cowboy Action Shooting. The holster shaped sheath is by Moore Maker and took a little stretching to fit the big Sunifish. Great addition to my Cowboy outfit and as a conversion starter.
