I suppose we can call the center of attraction a "Shield" on the RR Old Southwest series?

Dan...I've stated before, that Southwest Series is a GREAT one. I'm so very tempted...

Grab one (or all) LJ.
The Canoe RR1750 goes way back to December 2018 at the beginning of the series.
Alan, the spokesman and commentator on many of the SMKW "Guys Talk Knives" on YouTube stated last month, (Dec.2020) that the RR Old Southwest Series have plans to add an additional five (5) new patterns to the "Old Southwest Series" Can you imagine a Sunfish/Elephant Toe in this pattern?
Alan also stated that this series has been in the making for four (4) years now. ::shrug::

Thought I'd throw another picture of the series in.

Here's a Rough Rider shield from WWII. Brigadier General Teddy Roosevelt. Thought I'd throw this in the mix.

One more vote for the acorn shield. Pretty much hot to trot over most of the figural shields.

I'm going on 6 months late for a response to your above message LJ. Sorry.
But yes, I do have all the the current 12 Southwest Series knives. They just keep coming. Very happy with them, beautiful series.
