RRR Panthera

Post by Beavertail »

Latest offering in the reserve lineup.
I haven't bought any of their latest knives in the series they just don't interest me.
I don't know who's designing them but I wish they would get back to more traditional patterns with bone or stag covers.

Just looks awkward. I have a Browning from the '70s that is designed as a hunting knife, and it does have that same downward slant to the blade. However, the handle shape looks uncomfortable.

Same here, I'm sure some will like it but to me it looks goofy. ::shrug::

I'm with you, at least produce some older style traditional designs.

Not a fan of knives where the spine of the blade is not in line with the backspring/frame. Just looks odd.

Nothing against this particular pattern, but I tend to like many of Rough Ryder's regular traditional knives more than the Reserve series. I only have a couple, but they are good knives.
