There is a Denim handled one now.
John
Just ordered one early this morning. It's all the fault of Cuz. 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.. My first RR.. Tisk, Tisk !!!

And aren't these carbon steel? If so, time to get one on order.

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 βRβ 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." https://www.smkw.com/rough-ryder-half-h ... im-micarta

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!!

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.

Thank You Mel. I have done that for years on most all of my carbon steel blades.

I did it again. I liked the 1st one so much I purchased another one with a pocket clip. I have to stop reading all the posts. It makes me want one. I have too many knives already I will never use them all. Well the one good part about knife accumulating it's a lot cheaper then Guns.

That's why they call us collectors (or sometimes accumulators. Collectors have focus.).
