"Thank you for the RR number for the RR713 six blade 😁👍
Mine must be an early knife. It does not have an "RR" number, but I am sure it is genuine.
All six blades have the RR horse shoe blade stamp. (Large clip point also has the…"
"They are definitely no Rough Ryder knock offs yet."
"I remember having at least one knife that had a model number like that. Let me look it up."
"Did you see they made two more models in the rifleman series? They are in red smooth bone. I just ordered them. One is a trapper and one is a large toothpick"
"Vintage can be any age, but tends to be more recent than "antique." Typically, a vintage knife would be one that is no longer in production.
I did some research and the best I can find comes from a Martha Stewart article. An…"

Hello neighbor! Thank you for the welcome Charles! That is pretty cool to know that there are some north Alabama folks here. I lived in East Limestone for about 20 years and spent a lot of time in Athens as you can imagine.

I did buy knives at SMKW.
This one is a Rough Rider Mushroom knife RR1400. (The nation is now safe. If that mushroom that came up in my yard was just a scout for a full scale invasion, I now have the means to beat it back!)
I am going to save this wooden Case knife kit until my grandson, Danny, is old enough to help me put it together. May…

My visit to SMKW wouldn't have been complete without meeting the Knives Live guys.
Here is Josh and me in the Knives Live studio. (It's a little bigger than a two holer. I believe you could fit a three holer in it!)
And here is Jay. (Like his T shirt!)…
