Rough Ryder working man half-hawk
Just seen this on SMKW.
It lists country of origin as Chile.
I wonder if they have changed where they're being manufactured

Re: Rough Ryder working man half-hawk
It's a typo. Somebody fell down on the job and didn't proofread. They're still made in China.

It's a good looking knife but I don't like the clip on the back.
I guess I could remove it.

Re: Rough Ryder working man half-hawk
I'm not thrilled with the clip. In fact I didn't even know it had one until I bought it and got it in hand. For me, that green is butt ugly. That's why I'm getting it rehandled.
This is Jeffinn's picture. He's finished with the rehandle. He did it in horn (I believe he said). Now isn't this much nicer than that green?

I had Jeff rehandle my father's old Boker but didn't know he would rehandle a Rough Ryder.
You got me to thinking I may get one and see if he can put the same bone as the Boker.

I have one of them! It’s a bit unique, but it’s a loomfixer, that’s the important thing!

Re: Rough Ryder working man half-hawk
I've got one . That Ramsfoot blade is cool . Mine is a Coal Miner series . Black pick bone . There's still some new ones floating around on the bay . The fit and finish on mine is one of the best Rough Riders I have . One of the first Rough Riders I ever got . No clip removal needed and no green to get rid of
Re: Rough Ryder working man half-hawk
There is a Denim handled one now.

Re: Rough Ryder working man half-hawk
Just ordered one early this morning. It's all the fault of Cuz. I didn't know it existed until he posted one in another thread. Looks to be a handsome young feller. No clip on this iteration but it does have that obnoxious "R" (molded, stamped?) on the bolster.
