Since I don't seem to have the right magic anymore for reserve signups and drops, I purchased a couple RR knives so I'd have the thrill of seeing the mailman coming.... To manufacture and market these knives for the selling price is quite remarkable..... The knives in the 3 photos are functional tools... Most will have minor cosmetic shortcomings, but they certainly are fit for a workman or adventurer....
Anyhoot, these are most of my RR knives... I have a few more at another location that were not photographed.....

Do you keep them in those knife rolls for long term storage, and if so, can it damage the knives through knife-to-knife contact or rusting problems? That's a nice collection!
My knife rolls have "flaps" that fold over to prevent this when rolled up.can it damage the knives through knife-to-knife contact
New Rough Rider Reserve knives are in now stock at SMKW. I bought the one arm razor D2 denim micarta RRR001 even though it was $39.99 with a tube tin(?). Ouch! But a cleaning cloth is included too.
That looks niceI just received this Rough Ryder classic G-10 folding Hunter. I like it quite a bit. It is an interesting interpretation of one of my favorite patterns. Very light and super sharp.
Could not post pics.
Yes to both. I only buy patterns I like, and will carry/use. Different covers just adds a little spice.... So my question is, do you collect by pattern or cover material? And why?
Nice shape them. My own developed some blade play after 20 mins use, surprised as they were well received by people who used them.
I got this one recently, nice knife.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I used to collect by covers, tried to get all or most of the patterns in a cover and I realized that I have lots of knives that I have never used and likely will never use. Probably going to move some of them along to make room, and a few bucks, for patterns I enjoy carrying and using and not just to look at.
The problem is, I like mostly all of them.

D dovidola All my two blade RR canoe, and Buck 389 canoe have two back springs.
FWIW, they are no wider than my 1990's single spring "Remington" by Camillus canoe across the bolsters or covers. I don't have a micrometer or vernier caliper to measure them, but the RR 'A Stroke of Luck' canoe may be slightly thinner, even with two back springs.
I don't remember if my Amber Bone CV Case canoe has one or two back springs. I haven't had access to it in almost 2 years, since I had a "minor" stroke.
Doesn't the RRR0001 have three blades?
