The new one looks great, but the old one doesn't look too bad either. I'll bet it has a lot of good life left in it yet!

I can't help myself. I've become quite the automatic addict....so many knives out there and so little time!

My quote is "so many knives, so little money"!

You said it TKM!!! .... ...

My first real TL-29’s. And both from a real good friend. Both 4 line Camillus. Couldn’t be happier. I should probably have posted them in comfort knives since I enjoy fondling them so much.

Those are fine examples of a true historic knife. The TL-29 is iconic. Great grab for the collection, CarMan!

I’m a fan of Camillus so I too have a t-29. They are classic working knives.

You done good.

The husband loved it UNTIL he opened it up and saw "CHINA" on the tang and then he put it down in disgust

... " but they are good quality knives" ... I think that is a fair assessment of R.R. I see some nice examples here on AAPK. Oscar recently posted a blue gunstock folder that is absolutely beautiful. Your Western example looks to be a pretty good quality piece

Thanks buddy!

Cool western, Kim, I like theme knives too.

That’s a cool knife, Kim! Great design!

$7.50 plus $5.95 shipping (I was the only bidder) - I feel like a real winner today!

I think we've agreed to disagree on the Rough Rider knife made in China thing because there was no further discussion after I said "Yes, Rough Rider is exclusively made in China, but they are good quality knives."

For a long time I wouldn’t buy knives from China. I always bought American or European exclusively. I’ve reassessed my original opinion of the quality of Chinese knives. They’ve improved tremendously in quality. My second objection was I always buy American. Problem there is that EVERYTHING these days is made in China. Ever read the fine print on products or shop at Walmart ? We have less choice now. Rough Rider is a good knife at a good value. The blue denim micarta referred to is a RRR ROUGH RIDER RESERVE. Same company but a huge upgrade from their regular line. The scales are perfectly even with the bolsters, and pins are perfectly even with the handles. All highly polished. I was reluctant to buy one, that is until I actually examined one. Now I have several of the ROUGH RIDER RESERVE knives.
They are fantastic at a great price. Averaging about $45-$90, the quality is second to none. D2 steel blades and a lot of hand work done on them. Fit and finish is superb. Everything is perfectly fitted and hand polished. Every single blade has gator snap.
If you haven’t actually handled one, you are missing a terrific quality knife at a terrific price.

My brother got this at an auction for me the other nite. Nice little Queen fixed blade circa 40's.

I’m a huge Queen cutlery fan. You scored great on that knife.

That Queen almost looks like a skinner.
Your brother did well.

What a fantastic Queen!

Very generous of your brother. Can I borrow him for a while?

Like those RRRs, Oscar!
Yep, that is an awesome oldie Queen there, Rob!
