I'm not seeing the typical "copperhead" pivot-end bolster on that one, so I wonder why it's called a copperhead. ::shrug::

In fact, to me, it looks suspiciously similar to the China made Queen sawcut bone Wharncliffe.
Is it possible they're both made in the same factory? ::hmm::

Followed the link and saw that it is currently sold out at SMWK.
Found it interesting that in the listing, they show 10 pics of the knife and 11 pics of the accessories (9 of which are of the container can alone). Makes me wonder what exactly are we paying the most for, knife or packaging? (Price is $39.99)

Yeah, it looks like they're really proud of that tube.

Highly possible since SMKW owns Rough Rider and bought the rights to use the Queen name and logo.

I have a few Rough Riders. Very well made for an inexpensive knife but cannot compare to the American made cutlery. The Rough Rider Reserves are surprisingly different from the regular line. . I bought 3 of them. The quality of the Reserve line is leaps and bounds better than the standard Rough Riders. Blades are D2, fit and finish are excellent. Built like a tank. My only negative is that they are a bit bulky. For me, they will never take the place of quality American made knives. But the Rough Rider Reserve line is as good as any knife made anywhere but at a terrific price.

The non-pivot-end bolsters are shaped differently. This RRR is partially squared off, upturned and narrower so, while they may be made in the same plant, they were not stamped out with the same dies.

I prefer left end and not as tall might be better than narrower? :? I'm not sure what to call the blade. Sheep's foot with an angled tip?

Thank you Marco….you are almost salesman of the month, that comes with a self pat on the back and a atta-boy…I’m kidding you buddy thanks for the plug…also when you buy from most storefronts you also don’t pay taxes most sellers eat that also.

I'm not a RR fan, but the Barlow is pretty cool.

Yes I too like it, it is well made knife, and fit and finish seems above and beyond…
