Rough Riders!
Re: Rough Riders!
Great collection, David! I really like the Old Southwest series. Those are solid knives! I have three of ‘em!

Re: Rough Riders!
They are 8.5% of my total collection. You can purchase my book on Amazon.Madmarco wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2023 7:09 pm "Somewhat of a fan"? Wow!
With 98 pieces in your possession I'd call that being much more than just a fan, David, you've gotta give yourself "enthusiast" status at least!
If 98 pieces from my knives were singled-out, that would constitute 1/3 of my entire collection!
Pray tell, where can I find your book? Thx!
Thank you very much sir.

Wow, only 8.5%, you'd need a football stadium in order to display all of them together, David!dlr110 wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 3:56 amThey are 8.5% of my total collection. You can purchase my book on Amazon.Madmarco wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2023 7:09 pm "Somewhat of a fan"? Wow!

Re: Rough Riders!
Isn't that odd, David, you have all the Southwest Series models displayed except for the Doctor's knife, and the Doctor's knife is the only model I own!
Re: Rough Riders!
You made me go back and look at my inventory. After that picture was taken I did go back and purchase the Doctor's knife. Some of the series' I just couldn't purchase all at the same time....

Re: Rough Riders!
Thanks, Cudgee and Marco! Yea, I really liked the color on this one. And, yes, Cudgee, this would make a very good EDC!

Re: Rough Riders!
I picked up 4 pocket knives at a garage sale a few weeks ago and got this Rough Rider thrown in free because it had a broken spring, and was missing one handle slab. I had some 1095 high carbon 3/32" barstock, so I made the spring from that and rehandled it with some stag. Not sure what the pattern is as there is no number on it. It is 3 and 7/8" OAL closed. I had not worked on a RR before and was surprised to find that the pin diameter they use is .108" or about 7/64".

Re: Rough Riders!
It's better than when it was new OC.
Re: Rough Riders!
I believe you did a very fine job at restoration. It kind of looks like a Copperhead but I don't think they have a single blade one.
Anyway I like it.
Anyway I like it.

Re: Rough Riders!
That's a beauty, Tim!
I really like your choice of backgrounds, too!

Thanks, Marco! It’s an album cover for some 60s beach music.

Another Barlow (and my apologies - I just realized I had posted the other Barlow twice! )

Re: Rough Riders!
Nice Barlow, Tim, and I wouldn't be too concerned about double-posting, I doubt anyone noticed anyway, and if they did they got a 2nd look at a great knife, it's a win win!
Re: Rough Riders!
Thanks, Marco! I try to write down what I’ve posted, but must’ve missed that one.

Re: Rough Riders!
Are you telling me you type out a post and also write it down on paper, Tim?
If you are, that's a great way of keeping track, but then you need to keep track of your writings as well! lol!
That's waaay too much work for my lazy bones!
