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 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.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on June 3, 2018 at 20:48: Not "knives" related, but I saw this on Facebook. Brigadier General Teddy Roosevelt Jr., during WW II.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on June 3, 2018 at 20:44: Found me a NOS RR323. I wish that it was a squared bolster knife, but I'm liking it. Way better blades than the current production knives.

Already have the edges of that scales contoured, so it feels right. Next on the agenda is to attempt to re-dye the scales. I'm thinking that a brown dye would look good, keeping some of the red undertones.

Comment by Billy Oneale on May 20, 2018 at 16:54: Yes they do.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on May 20, 2018 at 10:25: Appears that I have upset someone affiliated with Rough Rider, with my comments about the thinness of the blades in the Large Stockman.

Someone responded to my comments saying that all traditional patterns have 1/16" blades.

Well, I've been known to be mistaken, once or twice, so I decided that I'd compare the 603 to a Little Barlow (RR901). As both are in the Yellow Comp series, I figured that it should be close.

Compared the pin blade on the 901 to the spey, sheepsfoot, as well as the clip master blade.

Photos speak for themselves.
