Rough Riders and other SMKW House Brands
When the Combat Ready Knives came out by SMKW I thought "Those would be the Tactical Rough Rider's if Rough Rider made tacticals.
This got me thinking. Perhaps we should have a discussions where we could discuss other SMKW house brands. I'm not sure there would be enough traffic to sustain an separate group but this might increase traffic to this group.
Smoky Mountain Knife Works House Brands include:
American Hunter
Benchmark
BW Custom (sort of, Brian Wilhoite owns it and he works there)
Cannon Cat’s Eye
Chief
Colt
Colonel Coon
Combat Ready Knives
Cripple Creek
Fox –N-Hound
Indian Head
Marbles
Mykel Hawke (sort of, His knives are made by SMKW)
Ole Smokey
Sawmill Cutlery
Wild Boar

SMKW lost the COLT name a year or so ago. The Colt Carbon Steel line were (thankfully) moved over unchanged to Rough Rider.
I believe the "Old Forge" line of ... "rustic" ... single blade Barlows is also a SMKW house brand. Although, from what I've heard, the Old Forge brand is nowhere near Rough Rider in quality, or value. At least not when they first came out. Major gaps, loose uncentered blades were the most common complaints I heard, over at another knufe forum. They may have improved over the last couple of years. No one has mentioned them over there lately, so I don't know if they have or not. -
