Re: Rough Riders!
My Tater Skin Brown Burlap Micarta knives arrived today. I forgot to order the Toothpick!
They all appear to have "near" Rough Ryder Reserve quality.
Excellent new series, love the black liners, I forgive Smoky for the "R" bolsters.
See David's (dlr 111) description on the Tater Skins above, I'm in total agreement.

Re: Rough Riders!
Dan and David, congratulations to both of you on your good looking collections and displays.
Re: Rough Riders!
Great haul of Tater Skins, Dan. I bet you liked opening that package!
David, that is a cool way to display those 'skins.
Those knives do make nice themed collections with the same handles and shields. I have never really collected knives based on the handle material, but I can certainly see the attraction.

Re: Rough Riders!
Here is a RR I just bought. A Bird and Trout pattern, this knife is only 6.3 inches long.
I did not see any at Smoky Mountain, so i snagged this one off Ebay.
Next time I am cleaning some Sand Sea Trout I will have to test it out.
I guess the folks who created the Bird and Trout pattern would probably choke at the idea of using it on a Sea Trout, but Rainbows are a bit scarce here along the Gulf of Mexico.
Note that the RR is actually smaller than an open Case fishing knife. All in all, a very well made and cool little knife!Mel

That IS nice, Mel!

Re: Rough Riders!
This just came in the mail today. This kind of look is all that I collect in Rough Ryders (and some Frost, etc.) - a colorful Southwestern look. I want good snap on my knives, and I can't say all of the knives I have in this style do. The blades on this one, though, snap like a gator. Caught this Copperhead on one of SMKW's flash sales, so, with postage and everything, just barely over $20. I don't think that's bad - especially for how solid this knife feels. I don't use them as EDCs, so I can't vouch for how well the blade would hold up over regular use, but it's sure sharp as a razor now. I couldn't be more pleased!

Re: Rough Riders!
Beautiful Rough Rider Tim! I have a few odd R/R's in my collection and the Southwestern Dr.'s knife/melon tester is one of them and I love it. I got mine on ebay for a really good price just like you did for this knife and that's always a bonus! Looks great!
Re: Rough Riders!
Thanks Mel and Marco!!

Re: Rough Riders!
Don't normally buy Rough Riders, but picked up these stags a few years ago with a collection I bought. I have since sold them, but as I recall, they were very good quality knives for the price.
