I earlier said that I would probably buy these new Rough Ryders but I refuse to pay $60 for a Chinese knife.
I did however buy the new Upswept trapper.

Re: Rough Ryder Reserve and Upswept trapper
I assume the Upswept Trapper is the one with the reddish orange handles.
I wouldn't mind having the Hedgehog (top picture) but I'll be dipped if I'm going to pay $60 for it.

I've got the black version so I thought I'd get this one.
I'm like you I NEVER spend that kind of money on a rough Ryder.

The 'regular' Rough Riders, under $20 work and cut so well that there is no need to buy one of the more expensive Rough Riders.

Re: Rough Ryder Reserve and Upswept trapper
Even though the price is too high I'm still going to buy one of the Stockmans with a bottle opener/flat head tool. I'll treat these RRR knives like GEC. They have to be a combination of handle & blades not available elsewhere for me to pay the price. I got too many Queen and Schatt & Morgan Wharncliff Muskrats through eBay auctions for ~ $60 for me to get excited about the RRR Muskrat. Some of my Queen made Muskrats also have D2 blades so the RRR D2 does not justify the purchase.
