    Thanks for the positive comments Swampfox, however that isn't a Bark Pearl Whittler. It's the RR Big Whittler, #302, that I had re-handled in Deer Stag.
    I really like my Rough Riders, and next to my CASE Seahorse, I carry a Rough Rider around every day.

    They are a well made, Chinese import, that are inexpensive enough to use and if you accidentally loose it, won't make you shed any tears.
    Also if you want to try out a particular pattern, they let you try out something new, without breaking the bank.

    I'll bet when you get your first Seahorse, you'll want another.

    I get my Rough Riders through different folks.

    The line is owned by Smoky Mountain Knife Works. Blue Ridge Knives (sister company with SMKW) is also a source if you're a dealer, (wholesale only).
    E-bay always has a ton of Rough Riders there.

    I have a friend that sells knives at the local flea market. Check your local flea markets. I like to physically check out mine before I buy, not just RRs but any that I can.
    The best thing about Rough Riders is the cost. If you can get past the Chinese stigma, these are really good user knives, that are great as an EDC.

    I got my first Seahorse to actually use. Figured that I'd need a spair...or 2, (and the story goes).

    You'll have to come on back for some more okra. Still have the "Okra Strut" every fall.
