Garry, what is the RR model number on that knife?

Phil that was RR1572, a Bow Trapper; carbon steel with a stone wash finish. $15 at Knife Country USA.

No KJ, just the main blade locks. Small has half stop but doesn't lock.
Nice knife.

Thanks Old Folder. It's a nice knife

Got an 34OT Stockman sized Coal Miner Stockman and it bit me with in 30 minutes of unboxing
it. I got a Large Stockman by RR on the way!

Jerryd, Dang I evidently had a brain spasm yesterday. You asked me the model number of a RR which I supplied but addressed my response to Phil. I may have been distracted by your latest avatar. Apologies.

Phil, if you were wondering why you received unsolicited info from me yesterday kindly see the preceeding post.

Got a 4 1\4 inch Stockman in Red bone!

"4 1\4 inch Stockman"
That's a big knife. I would like to see a picture of it It is easy to post a picture here so give it a try.

These two Mini-Trappers should be here the first part of next week.

Nice RR guys, my High carbon Canoe is getting a nice patina on it,I removed most of that Ti coating ,pmis polished the bolsters

I agree Paul, nice RR being posted.
Your Canoe is a beauty.

I have never owned a RR until these. Bought one because of the pattern, then snagged another one.

Beauties Tony.
Never seen those before.
What is the length and production date?

Those RR Sunfish knives are very cool, Tony. I like the bone best, but the other one, imitaiton abalone(?) is also really nice.

Paul - how did you remove the coating on the blades? I note that there is a can of metal polish behind the knife in the second photo, but it seems that it might take more than that. Your knife is looking good.

Thanks Dan. These are 3” closed, and just over 6” with both blades fully open.
I don’t know production dates. Do the numbers on the inside of the box lid give that info?

Thank you sir. The bone is my favorite. It came first. The price on the imitation abalone was too good to pass up.
These knives are some of the nicest I have had for the money.

Nice looking jigged Red Bone there Deltaboy. Looks like you are sewing some cloth carry pouches for your Rough Riders. Neat !

That would be their small sunfish.
The "RR number" is also normally always laser etched on the pile side of the master blade, along with "440 razor steel" and China. Never seen a dated RR blade except on commemorative and special occasion knives.

Love these rams horn scales

I love that Ram Horn!

Bombed by XX Case XX with my first RR.
Great fit and finish, no wobble, nice snap, and a stockman, to boot! I'm impressed with this knife.
Thanks Mike!!
