Just recieved this sowbelly in the mail today, so far i love it. lots of options as far as blades go, all came razor sharp out of the box. the handles are amber jigged bone.for $15 shipped this knifes quality is incredible. it will never be Case good for $15, but for what i paid, there is no blade play, everything is fastened properly, and the bone looks really sharp. here are some pics.

These knives with a lot of blades always caught my interest but I never carried one due to how thick they are. How thick is this one? And how does EDCing it work for you so far?
 
You got it! (Remember you asking about it in another thread). It looks REALLY nice. Nice pics. Glad it's working out good for you. You may have cost me another $15.

That sounds quite a bit more doable than I was expecting. I think it may be a little thinner than my usual setup right now. I have my GEC Bullnose rubberbanded to my "wallet" which is nothing more than my cards with my money wrapped around it and the knife stacked on top. It unfortunately makes these thicker knives too uncomfortable and the Bullnose is pushing it as it is. I own 2 Rough Riders, their great knives, don't let yourself get into the train of thought it's not as good as a Case, etc. Their more than good enough to drop into your pocket and EDC, my Rough Rider Canoe was my favorite knife till I got my GEC Bullnose and the Bullnose is my favorite now because of ergonomics and a few other small things.

What a beauty! I was pleasantly surprised when I bought a Rough Rider for the first time :)

I'm sure I've seen Pete with a 5-blade sowbelly by Moore Maker, maybe he'll chip in, his looked well used and all patina'd up too.
