All About Pocket Knives

After two years in space flight, the new Rough Ryder "Celestial Series" have finally entered our galaxy and should be on the SMKW site next week.
However, if they are not available next week, I will eat a bug. (A bug of my choice.)

Perhaps the missing RRR 006 and 007 will come out of concealment soon also? (Just saying)

The below picture is of the Barlow RR2074. Just one of the many in the new "Carbon Celestial series."
The "Blue" colored handles below is the more real life true color.

I believe other Celestial patterns will include a small moose (RR2075), 4 blade Congress (RR2076), lockback (RR2072), razor trapper (RR2071) and stockman (RR2073).

Not bad, I look forward to seeing all of them.

I'm getting tired of the micarta and synthetic covers offered by Rough Ryder.
I wish they would make more with bone covers.
As for the Rhino toe and Nomad, I don't think these will ever be offered.
I keep getting the same old stock answers from them.

The Rough Rider "CELESTIAL'S" are now listed on 'Smoky Mountain Knife Works' website, however, they are listed as: "NOTIFY ME WHEN IN STOCK" which means, they are in stock, they have just not posted them for sell yet, which is a "SMKW web designer flaw" that I wish they would correct!

There are nine (9) different Celestial knife styles listed, however, the "Barlow" I pictured above is not included. What happened Smoky?
Where's my Barlow?

Here is the SMKW website containing all of the "CELESTIAL" knife patterns and prices.

I like them Dan, but it may be a while before I buy them, got some other priorities first.

I was expecting something a bit more flashy.

Unlike Old Folder wrote starting this thread, all the Celestial knives shown have polished 440A blades, not carbon steel blades. That makes them more attractive to some members and less desirable to others.

I have my eye on one model so I'll keep a watch on this thread. Thank-you Old Folder for keeping us informed.

The RR 2074 Celestial Razor Barlow is now available at SMKW. Very odd that the 2074 is not included within the other 9 Celestial Rough Ryders listed.
Look at the "R" on the bolster....see something a bit unusual?
The "R" logo is upside-down.
I have 10 other RR Barlows, none of which have a inverted "R." Does not really bother me, perhaps the next batch will have a corrected logo? That will be good for those of us that must have one of each.


My original pictures in my above OP also have the "R" logo upside-down, however, I did not observe it until recently.
I should receive it from Smoky later this week. I'll post it upon its arrival.
Smoky also states that the RR 2074 Barlow has "slant bolsters."
The other 9 Celestial's should be available any day now.

I bought one of these barlows because the R was upside down didn't like Celestial pattern but in hand I like it enough to buy more if they ever arrive I don't much like a Trapper pattern so won't bother getting a complete set. I'd like to see RR drop the R's off the bolsters or just make it different--makes me like the older ones now with the Horse Shoe--grind on these newer RR's has been getting better
than the Pre Y knives....
