Rough Rider & Related Slipjoints

The one with the adjustable wrench sticking out the end has to be their most unique offering.

A traditional pattern made by Schrade (and others) back in the day though.

Good-looking knives; I didn't realize they had a Long Rifle canoe.
I have a gunstock jack from that series, a generous gift from @btb01 Barrett.

Nice. I think I have another model, possibly a dogleg. I will see if I can find it. I never used them as they just looked so pretty new

The issue with the RR version is that the spanner is not an integral part of the frame or the liners. The spanner head is connected to the rest of the knife with a small screw, so I suspect that if I use it it will just come off. A rare bad execution by RR.

My all-time favourite toothick.

The multiblade one was also available as a Colt

Yeah, that gunstock checkered jigging RR had was VERY appealing!
Is the multiblade knife a 5-blade sowbelly stockman???

I received a couple new Rough Ryder knives the other day.... RR 2441 Cub Lockback in Tortoise Acrylic & RR 2331 Brown Burlap Canoe......

Both are very nice knives..... The Canoe is thin with 2 springs.... The blades are hollow ground and arrived 95% sharp..... Very nice for slicing..... The Cub is solid with good lockup.....It's a perfect watch pocket knife...

I think it has 6 blades, very weak backsprings

Received my RR2181 SBJ today, my 1st RR and SBJ.
I'm happy with the knife, it does Not close with the blade centered. And I don't care.
It is a much heavier/robust knife than I expected. Very sharp ootb.

This RRR Barlow is really nicely made knife. This is my first RRR, but if they come out with more patterns that aren’t “weird” in some way, I’ll be on board for more. I wish they’d offer some wood or bone, but so far I think they’ve all been micarta.

Just ordered a RRR one-arm jack, always wanted to try out the pattern out, especially a GEC, but those were a bit out of my price range.

0.06" thick blade, D2, micarta, arrowhead shield, seems like an awesome knife for the price.

I don’t have the one you ordered, but I have the Barlow and the little coperhead and I think you will find them to be nice knives regardless of price.

Another line that I do not know if it is still being made, for those that like their knives heavy. SS construction.

The two at the top are lockbacks

"If only" the lockbacks were 110/7OT size. Be an affordable alternative to the (somewhat rare and expensive) scrolled Aluminum Buck 111.
I wonder if there was a matching large stockman?

Hm, so I watched some video reviews of the one-armed jack and some folks mentioned the half-stop interfering with the one-hand opening functionality. Can anyone speak to their experience with the RRR one-hand jack in that regard?
