I like the jigging on those handles and you even managed to pick up a Doc.

Thanks Tom.
I always look forward to Rough Rider's new items and wish they would bring back some of their older knives that I missed out on.

Re: Rough Riders!
I believe the "Wild Flowers Series" are the newest additions to smkw Rough Ryder knives. $9.99 each.
I should have these in a couple days. Perhaps I should have ordered two of each? After my wife inspects these, she may request a "Woman-cave"

Re: Rough Riders!
Very cool display of your RRs, David. That mirror in the back initially confused me: I thought there were twice as m any knives a first glance!

Re: Rough Riders!
As Ted, the 'Colonel' was on his way to 'Kettle Hill' he dropped off the below package in my mailbox.
(Actually, the Rough Riders charge up 'Kettle Hill' was exactly 122 years ago today) July 01, 1898.
I seldom scan my knives on a flatbed scanner for aapk posts, however, for a little change of normalcy I think the results are quite acceptable.
Above are my most recent Rough Ryder's.
I have been observing the 'Tobacco Road and Buckshot Bone series' for some time now, and after having them in hand, they are much better than all the pictures I have observed, including the 'Easy Money Series'
All the above RRs came in excellent condition. I may complete the whole series.
The new 'Flower and Roses Series' are visually gorgeous. I might add that if you have a gift to be purchased for that special Lady in your near future, you may want to consider adding one of the 'Flower or Roses' knives to her gift. Just saying.
The workmanship is excellent on every one.
Top to bottom:
Tobacco Road Trapper. RR1892
Tobacco Road Three Blade Sowbelly. RR1894
Buckshot Bone Two Blade Sowbelly Trapper RR1906
Red Roses Peanut RR2090
Red Roses Trapper RR2097
Wild Flowers Series Small Toothpick RR2092
Alstroemeria Lady Leg Knife RR2096
Easy Money Canoe RR1890

Re: Rough Riders!
Great looking knives Dan, everyone of them. And i know from experience that any of them would also be a good work knife to use. So there is a "Red Roses" series and a "Wildflower" series ?

I've been away from this thread for too long. Just got caught up. Wonderful looking collections Dan and Dave and all others. The variety RR produces is impressive to say the least.

Re: Rough Riders!
There are many RR dealers but does SMKW have exclusive rights to sell some series that other dealers have no access to ? I realize that owners of SMKW are also the owners of RR brand.

Re: Rough Riders!
Nice one David!!
To your question, I believe, and I could be wrong, there is a large contingent here on AAPK that are not keen on Chinese made knives. They may not consider them "real" knives "If it's not made in the USA..."

Re: Rough Riders!
Well, we do. Sorta. And you're in it now. It's just not Rough Rider specific so I guess it would be kind of like posting Case knives in a Forum titled "U.S. Made Knives".
