Rough Ryder Half hawk aka LoomFixer

Post by eveled »

I love LoomFixer knives. A sway back 2 blade jack, large sheepsfoot main and large pen secondary no bail. These 2 blades usually compliment whatever big knife is on my belt.

Case and KA-BAR made them in the past, but only RR makes the pattern now. ONLY ROUGH RYDER! This is one of the great things about the brand they make these old patterns available again.

I have others but I’ll start with this one.

Here's one I like a lot.
I'm partial to single blade knives.

Yep RR calls both the single and double blade sway back jacks Half Hawks. To be a LoomFixer it needs both blades. The single coping blade is more of a rope knife except it should have a bail. Great knife either way.

I have a BuckShot one and it’s beautiful. Get one before they are gone. You won’t be disappointed.

Now see what you went & done, Tim. You made me go order one of them this morning. Before you posted I didn't know the Buck Shot was out. Thanks a lot for the unintended Christmas present to myself. ::handshake:: ::tease::

Thank you Tim.
RR's that weren't hard to find just a couple years ago have disappeared recently it seems.

I have a couple of those. I have the green handled one with a pocket clip and the red and white stripped christmas handled one. I need to get them and my old CASE loomfixers out and do a comparison and review….
