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

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 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.
