Yep. metric alright. The knife is a distinct European design. I've yet to see a production mushroom knife made in America. The one I found made in England lacked a scale, but those made in Spain, France and Italy all have centimeter scales. The Rough Rider is one of the sharpest Mushroom knives I've encountered (of course I only have two other makers so far. (Burgon & Ball, Joker)
You are right Chuck and Steve. It does appear to be metric. I got the 3/8 inch from SMKW's web site. One inch equals 2.54 centimeters. So 3/8 inch would be 0.953 cm. I got the knife out and measured the scale with a ruler. Each division is just a little over 3/8 in. So each division must be 1 cm.
Yes it's a metric measurement. Maybe the 3 of us can go gather 'shrooms and have a cocktail party!!?
Interesting side note on this knife. The scale on the handle is not in inches. Each division is 3/8 of an inch. So from 0 to 4 is an inch and a half. One inch would fall between 2 and 3.
