Thanks for adding me. I can't believe that we weren't already friends? But, of course, we were! I guess this just makes it official, eh.

Thanks, Ricky!

Cheers, my friend!

For instance I haven't carried my Marlin spike knife with the scrimshaw work for more than a day but I have carried the red jigged bone for a couple months at one time (and used it as a EDC back pocket carry) I carried a couple of the five inch tooth picks and then decided to pick up the entire collection because I liked them. Same goes with my sowbellies.

Like many people I think the Rough Riders make great every day carries but they also look great and priced low enough that you can buy multiples. I tend to buy them from SMKW primarily because I know when I buy from them I can return any defective house brand with no questions asked. Yes I have had a few problem rough riders. And in both case SMKW the knife was under $10. SMKW said keep the bad knife and they sent out a replacement. They told me if the replacement was also bad, then I should return both for a refund (to include the shipping charges to and from) It is hard to be that kind of guarantee. In the case of both knives the very tip of the blade was ever so slightly bent. I felt guilty about taking the new knife as the ones with the slightly bent blade went onto be carried and used.
