Re: Rough Riders!
Here is another one: RR Large Toenail, retail price under $20, being auctioned, 26 hours to go and at $81 now.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/ROUGH-RIDER-KN ... 1438.l2649
I have about 200 RR knives but i did not keep all the boxes. They are very good knives and still widely available from retailers so i never thought i could sell them, let alone make a 500% profit on some of them.
I do not understand !

Re: Rough Riders!
It is completely crazy. I have read comments on a couple of threads on this forum to the effect that China knives were not worth collecting, or even buying, because they would never ever be worth more than what was paid new, and probably not that. I have not bought a new Rough Rider for a year or two, I guess I need to get busy!kootenay joe wrote:Here is another one: RR Large Toenail, retail price under $20, being auctioned, 26 hours to go and at $81 now.

It might be because of the ACORN SHIELD.
Both knives that sold for a high price had the ACORN SHIELD.

Re: Rough Riders!
Two more sold. One for $51 and the other for $61. Only three or four doing all the bidding on them.
I've got one. She's a handfull. Paid $12.06 for her. Anyone want to give me $100 for it?

Re: Rough Riders!
Jerry, I’ve got one of them double barreled RRs, not sure what pattern it is. I’ll dig it out and maybe we can get started on our 2nd million! Treefarmer

Re: Rough Riders!
Jerry, mine appears to be a double barrelled Canoe, the box is only marked Rough Rider Outdoorsman Series with RR1110 on the end.
I just opened this thing, all 4 blades and got to thinking, "I'm sittin' here bare footed as a yard dog and if I drop this thing with all the blades splayed open, I'm apt to get stuck."
We went through this sometime ago, what is the practicality of such a knife? It is certainly not comfortable in the hand even with only one blade opened. If all the other knives disappeared it would be a wonderful piece of cutlery but until then, naw!
I'd take 100 bucks for this one since they are such a wonderful item. Jerry when you sell yours, tell 'em about mine.

Re: Rough Riders!
It's like the Case "Beast" knives with blades all stacked-up so the thing is a couple of inches thick, or those gawdawful SAK that have about 50 blades and are 18 inches thick. But, I guess if we're going to start playing the "what's the practical use of..." game, we would all be looking at our piles of knives and then suddenly getting very quiet...

Re: Rough Riders!
Rough Riders have been quiet lately.
Lets wake it up with the Rough Rider "25th Anniversary" Serialized Limited Edition Giant Trapper. #RR2146.
8" Closed, this is a BIG trapper. Fileworked backsprings, collector's box shows the past Rough Rider shields.
I should receive it in a couple days. The pictures below are from SMKW.com's Dec. 2019 catalog.
If you are a RR collector you may want to add this to your stash.

Re: Rough Riders!
They have also released a green micarta sowbelly stockman which looks okay. I saw a short you tube review from SMKW, about $15 i think.

Re: Rough Riders!
What??? You must have ESP cudgee. That was the second RR I put on this order: "Rough Rider Classic Micarta Sowbelly" $14.99 SKU: RRR1991
Well, I have to take the trash out now, but I guess you already know that.

Re: Rough Riders!
Ooooh! I like the handles on that one. Good choice.
I have a #18 Mini-Trapper I'm quite fond of. It's the profile of the secondary blade that does it for me. Well made knife.

Re: Rough Riders!
I have a few of the Kissing Crane China knives and they are of similar high quality as the Rough Riders. Not all China made knives are good but either of these 2 brands will reliably give you a solid and sharp user knife for very little money.
