Re: Rough Riders!
Had to scratch a knife buy itch but didn't wanna spend much at this time since I made a vow to myself to slow my roll on the knife budget this year. Got these two recently for around 8 bucks a piece. The mini trapper at 3-1/2" is what I think is called 'black' (or) 'black lip' pearl and the whittler which also is 3-1/2" appears to be imitation pearl with a pearl shield. Both are nicely fitted, tight knives with the smooth blade action and nice snap, which in my experience has been something I can count on from RR knives. Delivered scary sharp too.

Tried to snap the photos between rain drops but as you can see we all got a little wet.

I was going to ask where you got the knife with the really cool raindrop patterns...

Re: Rough Riders!
This is my newest RR, and almost certainly the nicest RR I've bought yet. A three-bladed sowbelly with sawcut bone handles. I love it.
I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar.

Re: Rough Riders!
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Leg shaped knives. I really like the large one with the modified clip blade. It is essentially a tooth pick pattern with a shape that makes me smile. I also think it is the same blade as the fishing knife?
Pretty sure the foot of the knife could be used as a bottle opener so it is a practical knife, and a great slicer.

My oldest granddaughter has several of those lady leg pattern Rough Riders in her collection.

Re: Rough Riders!
Any way to know if Rough Riders ever use celluloid for handles. Some of them look like it.

Re: Rough Riders!
Thanks TwoFlowersLuggage. Don't know how I missed that. I hope it's more stable than the old stuff. Still leaves me wondering why. Buyer beware I guess.

Re: Rough Riders!
I ordered a Ladies Leg last night. I've been looking at them for several years but never with enough interest to jump on one. I guess the mid-winter blahs and the $8.67 shipped price tag made me do it.
It's 3-1/8" closed and I'm kind of fond of that 3" to 3-3/8" size. Marked as shipped first thing this morning, it's coming from Michigan so it should be here this week along with another knife I have on order from a different source.
Forged on the anvil of discipline.
