Rigid Trapper Gaucho R 55

Post by LDF Knives »

I just saw on another source, that Rigid knives were made by Case??? so is that true?? I've sold other types of Rigid knives at a good price had them since the 80's so your input will be appreciated! ::handshake::

Only four patterns of slipjoints - based on the '54 trapper, the '087 three blade stockman, the '07 mini trapper,and the'033 penknife.

I'll try to remember to post pics later.

Maybe but I think this RG0828 was made by Schrade (just an opinion)

And I know this RG70 was made by Camillus.

I should have clarified - I was talking about the original Rigid that was in business in the 70's to 80's, founded by former Buck employees.

That original company had Case make them four patterns of slipjoints circa 1982.

In recent years, the Rigid trademarks were sold, and a wide variety of knives were made by a number of companies including Canal Street, IIRC.
