Re: Rough Riders!
I think Rough Rider now contracts out to more than one manufacturer for their traditional style folding knives. Up until a few years ago every RR 'series' (e.g. "Rifleman", "Trapper Series", "Coal Miner", etc.) came out close to perfect. Now it seems that some of the series have more like what you might expect for a sub $20 knife, i.e. some issues like spring tension, edge sharpness, etc., while other RR series have every knife 'right on'. They might not all be made in the same factory.

Nine RR guys.
Looks as if I'll have to put the Buckshots on my list now.

Re: Rough Riders!
The "Buckshot" RR's are heavy duty solid work knives. Heavier than other RR's of the same size. They are definitely intended for real world use.

Re: Rough Riders!
They are very good knives. Here are the ones I got a few months ago.

I also rather fancy that RR1892 Tobacco Road Brown Bone Bow Trapper.

Re: Rough Riders!
Just got this muskrat SMKW.
The fit and finish is about as good as it gets.
It has half-stops which I prefer.

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