Rough Rider Props.

Here are a few more. Yeller pruner, a couple of black pearl whittlers and a couple of red bone whittlers, a gunstock bone canoe a synthetic abalone barlow and one of my favs, the small two blade barlow.

Best regards

Hey Mike
Has that knife been taken apart? The bolster pivot pins don't look like RR work and neither does the shield.

Regards

Well this is a bit tricky Robin, the knife is RR kit, which I managed to complete. I didn't like the scales that came with it so I changed it to snakewood, there was no shield originally so I fixed in small silver plate, and I swedged the clipoint blade and the sheepfot as well. I still need to make the final polish and try to hide the pins.
this is how I got it

I've got a sodbuster, canoe, and I think a sowbelly and a congress. I've been very happy with three of them. I didn't by the one, it was given to me, and it's not really fair to say I'm not happy with it as I don't carry it. The person I got it from told me the springs were weak. I admired the scales but it just went into my drawer then. I carry the canoe the most as it's nice and thin. I used the sodbuster the most but have since replaced it with a Case without the lock. If the RR didn't have a lock on it it would see equal carry with the Case.

In that case, great work ;-))) I have a RR trapper kit that sits on my bench and taunts me. They sent me a kit with a deformed backspring so I've been thinking about turning it into a single blade. Some day I may give it a try.

Best regards
