Do A Double Take...Rough Rider Did!

The Double Take.

Here is a series of Rough Rider knives I at first found of interest due to their novelty, but then discovered them to be high-quality, well-made, and usable pocket knives living up to Rough Rider's reputation for a quality product. They are available at SMKW, and also on the bay.

Here is my Double Take Yellow Synthetic Trapper, and my Double Take Tobacco Bone Muskrat. Don't be fooled, these are usable, well-built knives, not just a "novelty". For around $15 they are good, inexpensive conversation starters, fascinating to most who have never seen one. I carry both of mine at once in a dual WWII canvas 30 cal ammo pouch, and I hardly notice them. Because of the way they are built, you can actually apply quite a bit more pressure and down force to the blade due to the way they fit in your hand. I like the Muskrat the best, I just like it's profile and it's comfortable feeling in the hand.

Give one a try, I hear they may be discontinued, so better do so quick if you're interested. For around $15, (or less), they are worth a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed. They also come in a Canoe frame with both bone and synthetic handles.

Show 'em if you got 'em!

That is what I like about this site. Nobody is looked down on or harassed because of what they do or don't collect. I don't know of any snobs on this site. I don't care if it is "silly and useless", if I like it and can afford it I will buy it. I like the motto on this site, collect what you like and like what you collect.

I'm going to get the Canoe version soon, bone if they still have them, but I'll take the yellow Delrin if that's all that's left. I like them due to their being "different", who says a knife has to be conventional? Makes me wonder who ever came up with the idea in the first place? I haven't got a negative reaction from anyone I've shown mine to, but have gotten negative reactions from supposed knife collectors on another forum; they called it "silly & useless".....guess there are snobs in every forum.
