All About Pocket Knives

Philip, it's the "Rough Rider RR1108 Doubletake".

Jerry, mine appears to be a double barrelled Canoe, the box is only marked Rough Rider Outdoorsman Series with RR1110 on the end.
I just opened this thing, all 4 blades and got to thinking, "I'm sittin' here bare footed as a yard dog and if I drop this thing with all the blades splayed open, I'm apt to get stuck."
We went through this sometime ago, what is the practicality of such a knife? It is certainly not comfortable in the hand even with only one blade opened. If all the other knives disappeared it would be a wonderful piece of cutlery but until then, naw!
I'd take 100 bucks for this one since they are such a wonderful item. Jerry when you sell yours, tell 'em about mine.

It's like the Case "Beast" knives with blades all stacked-up so the thing is a couple of inches thick, or those gawdawful SAK that have about 50 blades and are 18 inches thick. But, I guess if we're going to start playing the "what's the practical use of..." game, we would all be looking at our piles of knives and then suddenly getting very quiet...

Rough Riders have been quiet lately.
Lets wake it up with the Rough Rider "25th Anniversary" Serialized Limited Edition Giant Trapper. #RR2146.
8" Closed, this is a BIG trapper. Fileworked backsprings, collector's box shows the past Rough Rider shields.
I should receive it in a couple days. The pictures below are from SMKW.com's Dec. 2019 catalog.
If you are a RR collector you may want to add this to your stash.

They have also released a green micarta sowbelly stockman which looks okay. I saw a short you tube review from SMKW, about $15 i think.

What??? You must have ESP cudgee. That was the second RR I put on this order: "Rough Rider Classic Micarta Sowbelly" $14.99 SKU: RRR1991
Well, I have to take the trash out now, but I guess you already know that.

Old Folder, that one should come with a free pair of suspenders!

i mostly collect Vintage USA Schrades and Remington's but I bought 5 or 6 rough riders on ebay new in box - I gifted a couple sold a couple but couldn't let this Robert klass go - I just like it

Ooooh! I like the handles on that one. Good choice.

I have a #18 Mini-Trapper I'm quite fond of. It's the profile of the secondary blade that does it for me. Well made knife.

Very Nice Knife as well Jerry - Sometimes no matter what country or by who , if you like the knife you like the knife

I have a few of the Kissing Crane China knives and they are of similar high quality as the Rough Riders. Not all China made knives are good but either of these 2 brands will reliably give you a solid and sharp user knife for very little money.

What is it the hipsters say? True that. It's just that simple.

Got some to add to the accumulation.

Nice stuff, Homer! I especially like that Moose. Unusual profile on that secondary blade!

Mel, I agree with y’all on that RR Moose.

very Nice bigH - it's really amazing the Bang for your Buck

I picked up this new in box 4 1/8" Rough Rider RR777 trapper today at one of our local antique malls. It was marked $8, and the promo for today was 20% off, so $6.40 was the price.I like the acorn shield Rough Riders, nice smooth bone handles, sharp as can be and the price.

OC, I very much like the sleek looks of this RR. Smooth bone is a favorite of mine, especially for a using knife.

I have one of those on my watch list but it's not that price. Great find.

Nice knife: nice price, Old Cutler! I like the acorn shield too.

Looks great OC! And you can't beat the quality for that price! Good score!
