Rough Riders!

[Quick Steel]

The knife with copper bolsters is very appealing.

Nice RRs EeDeCe .
And a late welcome to aapk.

Thank you! Really nice place and friendly people. Kind of unusual for a forum these days.

I have several Rough Rider Barlows(17) and would like more. Looking for a few older RR barlows and waiting for new ones to come out.

Hey, new to the forum (second post). Been collecting Rough Riders for a few weeks now. Have some canoes (3), cotton samplers (4), swayback whittler and one arm jack. Have a gunstock jack and buckshot bone teardrop on the way.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Well Jerryd has one that he likes. I have one that I like, but only because my wife bought it for me for Christmas. There is a pin, that the Lanyard for the whistle is tied around. On the knife I have, the Pin is bent or twisted out of shape or out of place. So that when I open the secondary blade, it cuts off the Lanyard every time.
It would be a really cool knife if it didn't cut through the Lanyard every time I open the secondary blade.
It gets pocket time because my wife gave it to me.

I got my Covis $$$ this week so had to buy a couple of knives. It's a rule isn't it? One is a Case 54 USMC embellished and the other is a Rough Rider 1952 Small Moose. I'm eager to get it and see if I like it as much in hand as I do in the picture. Same size as a Mini-T, 3½" closed. The secondary blade looks like it should be on a Panama Trapper.

My new Rough Rider Amber jigged bone lockback, pictured with a Buck 55 for comparison. Fit & finish is excellent' sharp out of the box. I'm still amazed at the quality vs cost of these knives. It'll replace the 55 in my pocket to get a workout.

I've been thinking about a 55; the 110 is too big for what I need.
That RR might be the thing to get and see if the size and style works for me

[Byrd]

Steve, I'd give it a try. The RR is a bit larger than the 55, and a lot less expensive! I've gotta say though the 55 is a sweet pocket carry. You wouldn't be disappointed in one.

Let me help you spend your money (after all, what's $50-60 out of $1200). You won't regret it.

I know ghis is a RR thread, but the 55 is an extremely impressive knife. Been in my pocket ever since I got it, just plain perfect IMO.

[SharpMarble]

Just got these in. Tear drop jack in buckshot bone and a gunstock jack. I have a weakness for spear point blades.

[Quick Steel]

This is my one Buckshot.

Very nice! I didn't know the wharncliffe came in buckshot. I'll have to keep an eye open for one!

Rough Rider has made many different single blade lock backs. Even in 2007 they had at least 20 different lock back patterns. So there is a R.R. lock back that is the perfect size for everyone. I have about 30 ? single blade RR lock backs, most i bought around 2007-2009. Every one of them is shaving sharp and not even one has a hint of blade play. I don't know how 'they' can do this so consistently.
