So sorry to hear about your wife. That's a tough row to hoe. My ex-sister-in-law and one of my best friends just found out she has Pancreatic cancer and this week, they pulled two grape sized cancers out of one of her lungs. She's only 57. 2019 starting out to be as bad if not worse than 2018. My best to you and your family.

Prayers sent for them!

Deltaboy, that is very tough situation for you and your wife. I hope you will have some times together that are peaceful and happy.

God be with you and your wife, Deltaboy.

After reading about the RR's here I decided to order one from Amazon. I got the Canoe pattern simply because I'd never had one before. I gotta say that for $13 I'm impressed! It's in my pocket and I'll see how it does. I've carried lesser knives!

Congrats on your first Rough Rider.

The Rough Rider lady leg knife in ram's horn showed up, took a few pictures of its fit & finish. Haven't tried to open a bottle with it yet, but I think it will perform as advertised. The blade does seem somewhat on the thin side.

Gonna have to look for that one Red because I love that Ram's Horn.

Thanks, Jerry.

A couple other shots, it seems like it would work.

I picked up a few new ones this past week. The whittler and stockman came as amber jigged bone and I dyed them to the red/brown color. Was gonna dye the smooth tobacco bone sowbelly trapper too but kinda like the mottled look it came with. All three are nicely made with smooth blade action and near perfect pulls.

Nice Ladies Leg knife & capable too, just show it a beer.
And super nice Sowbelly knives too. Rough Rider knives are such an incredible deal. If that smooth bone one was a Northwoods (similar bone) it would cost you 20 times as much.

Thanks KJ and your right, these knives are an incredible deal.

I have been carrying and using this RR for the last year and can't find anything to complain about, Good little using knife and the price is right. Terry

It was 2007 when i bought my first RR just to see what a $8.00 knife was like. It is amazing how good the Traditional style RR knives are, regardless of price. I think if there was a performance test between Rough Rider & GEC knives, there would be little difference. The slickest whitetail field dressing i ever did was with a RR jumbo trapper.

I believe Rough Riders become more popular with every passing day.
They are certainly popular in my pocket. (And on my pocket)

I just bought a RR1810 dagger and like it. It is likely to see a tour of the streets of Tijuana from August 20th - August 26th, 2019.

Be careful down there Captain O
Don"t drink the water!

The water in here should be O.K.

I agree about not drinking the water. But if a person goes to Tijuana then drinking water is probably just about the last thing he is likely to do. I just hope the tests come back negative!

I got a drawer full of RR's what I want to know is how you like that Bud copper lager? It's my favorite brew, I hope they start making it again.

I liked it, one of my bothers gave me a 12 pack for Christmas and that was the last one.

My wife’s RR1267 muskrat. 4 inch closed. 3 inch blades. Gets very sharp with little effort. She has carried in daily for abt 4 years. Never let her down.
