All About Pocket Knives

Hello bighomer , from the UK . I know this first photo of the sowbelly RRs is over five years old but second from the top is the brown stag bone sowbelly which I also have in my RRs collection ( 18 I think ) Seeing the photo prompted me to get this model out again and have another look at it as sometimes in a collection the knives just sit there and you tend to forget about them . I find this particular sowbelly model a nicely compacted slip joint but with enough thickness in the scales and heft to feel really solid in the hand ! also with this model I like the way the clip point is slightly downswept giving a much nicer shape and the spey blade being that slightly wider . With its classy traditional looks of the bone stag scales its a great general purpose knife to carry as an EDC .

Here is my latest pile of Rough Rider & Ryder knives. I have got to be the dumbest person with a camera..

Sometimes those old posts and photos are fun to revisit. I do not have a sowbelly to post: perhaps I should change that!

That is quite a collection, David. Your knives are much more neatly organized than mine!
