If that isn't a complete lineup of work knives, you're very nearly there. Nice collection, Adam! ::tu::

Nice collection. Most of them hard to get now. I should have pounced earlier.

Thanks!

Yeah, some of the discontinued models do not show up often.

Just received the RR1708. Another winner. Smooth lockback with zero play that unlocks as nice as can be.

Stunning collection you have there! I love to see it. I have been looking for one of those tortoise shell large work knives. It’s nice to see them all together because you never see that unless it’s from a collection. I’m not a huge fan of micarta on a traditional but I really like my blue denim micarta large work knife and that small burlap micarta work knife looks great.

I have only ever seen that tobacco longhorn in your picture. Didn’t know it was ever sold. I would like to find one since that and the classic carbon yellow composite are the only two I’m lacking to make my collection complete.

Somehow I missed this thread back in 2023. Very nice collection of Rough Ryders, Adam. Did you ever get the four you were missing? I agree with Joe: the RR1708 is smooth.

That Blackwood work knife is a sleeper. I got mine a while back and just tossed it in the cart because it was like $5 or something crazy. It’s a NICE little knife once you go over the sharp edges and smooth things out.
