Rough Ryder Reserve and Upswept trapper

Post by Beavertail »

Available now at SMKW.
I earlier said that I would probably buy these new Rough Ryders but I refuse to pay $60 for a Chinese knife.
I did however buy the new Upswept trapper.

I assume the Upswept Trapper is the one with the reddish orange handles.

I wouldn't mind having the Hedgehog (top picture) but I'll be dipped if I'm going to pay $60 for it.

Yes Jerry I think they call it Upswept bow trapper.
I've got the black version so I thought I'd get this one.
I'm like you I NEVER spend that kind of money on a rough Ryder.

The 'regular' Rough Riders, under $20 work and cut so well that there is no need to buy one of the more expensive Rough Riders.

Even though the price is too high I'm still going to buy one of the Stockmans with a bottle opener/flat head tool. I'll treat these RRR knives like GEC. They have to be a combination of handle & blades not available elsewhere for me to pay the price. I got too many Queen and Schatt & Morgan Wharncliff Muskrats through eBay auctions for ~ $60 for me to get excited about the RRR Muskrat. Some of my Queen made Muskrats also have D2 blades so the RRR D2 does not justify the purchase.
