All About Pocket Knives

Wonderful to see you on here Roland.

Gunstock Copperhead Mini trapper Trapper Medium stockman /Canoe. (toss up) Some Copperheads I don't care for but the older RR's are my favorite knife. The design proportions are just right on them for me.. Visually and in use. Of course, they should of had a clip / wharnie combo on some though. ::pr...

Thank you Tim.
RR's that weren't hard to find just a couple years ago have disappeared recently it seems.

Very nice fellas! And Merry Christmas!!!
Got to throw a couple into the mix..

Wow. Now that's a knife!

Ok, first let me say I give no excuses for my obsession with blade play, wobble or anything short of a rock solid blade in a knife. The water can get a little muddy in the perception/reality department when it comes to this subject. I notice some claim to run into it often and others who rarely have...

The 009 and the hedgehog are solid perfect knives here,. Unfortunately the new heavy trapper is not. Ordered Friday and got today, super fast shipping but man it is a real dud on blade wobble. Around 200 RRs and not a one of them in the same zip code as this one. I couldn't repack and get an RMA fas...

I would love to go on a treasure hunt in this pile!!

Too much bait there I had to zoom in and do some snoopin around.

Love that display Bill. Very nice

I got to have them out to enjoy so started making these shelves. Will be making another here shortly. It would drive me nuts having them all put up. But can see how collectors with large amounts would have to do things differently.

I'm not seeing one of these?

Thanks, yes we have season until Jan 15th in mo. But like you say it gets tough.
Having a hard time getting one from the couch these days.

Hey fellas! Haven't visited the thread here for a bit, thought I'd share a recent find. Was out taking care of bees yesterday and thought I saw some bones off the hill. Took a stroll down there and found this guy. No history with this one so was surprised to see him here. Kinda bitter sweet to have ...

What is the message being sent with the name and badge?
There certainly is one being sent. Just not seeing any connection with the good start up story and traditional knives...

Thanks Tom.
Amazing knives there Roland. When a guy spends that much time and skill doing that on them he doesn't do it on a knife that's not worthy... Another testament to the quality right there.

Patterns and series are far deep and wide for RRs. Are we going to have to navigate past those pages to make or read "general" posts that don't pertain to a specific pattern or series? Just asking. Might I suggest a "General" discussion stickied at the top of page 1.

When I read all these posts and realize there's no cause for great concern now since I'm not alone.

Wonderful shots. That must be some amazing scenery to experience in person.

Correct. Not sure exactly how old as mine came from a collector or the bay. They do pop up every now and then.

These mini trappers are a testament to how great the quality can be on pocket knives. Despite my blade wobble obsession every one of them are solid as a rock. 15 for 15 ain't bad. Hard to put the black pearl series in my pocket though.

If that ain't a sexy knife I don't know what is.
Top notch seller all the way. Can't do better.

Looks like a fine bunch of treasures there.

The best way I've found to search out knives in a series or pattern is use Worthpoint. Example: looking for different scales offered in a particular pattern, say a copperhead. I would type in the search: rough rider copperhead. That would show me the bulk of them sold on eBay over the years.... Many...

Believe it's 1044, hasn't been around for a while

Happy Thanksgiving everyone
Enjoying this Boxcar Whittler today. What a great knife. Built like a tank.... err... Boxcar!
