Just ordered one early this morning. It's all the fault of Cuz. ::huff:: I didn't know it existed until he posted one in another thread. Looks to be a handsome young feller. No clip on this iteration but it does have that obnoxious "R" (molded, stamped?) on the bolster.
Mine is ordered.. ::hmm:: My first RR.. Tisk, Tisk !!! ::facepalm:: :lol: :lol: ::facepalm::

Tis indeed Carbon Steel.

"All of the knives in the Denim Micarta T-10 Carbon Steel Series feature T-10 carbon steel blades with a mirror polished finish, half stops, and match strike pulls. The handles are denim micarta with brass liners, and nickel silver pins and slant β€˜R’ bolsters. This Rough Ryder Denim Micarta T-10 Carbon Steel Half Hawk features a sheepsfoot and pen blade. It's 3.875" closed. Rough Ryder is always built by hand and backed for life."

Results after wet sanding (1500) the outside of this knife and doing a 3hr white vinegar soak of the blades!! Wanted to knock the edges of the Micarta down some and satin finish the bolsters. I am happy how it looks!!πŸ‘πŸ€©πŸ‘

Very nice looking knife, John. The vinegar worked well. I have not tried vinegar on any blades, but I have got great patina by forgetting to rinse the blade after cutting fruit.
