Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

I was thumbing through the May Issue of Blade Magazine and ran across an ad for this Rough Ryder Black Reserve Hawkeye Hawkbill knife. It is a solid knife with no gaps, chips, cracks, drips, runs, or errors. The joints are flush in the closed, half stop, and open positions with smooth transitions between handles and bolsters and centered blade. The pattern is a somewhat exaggerated swayback frame that allows for a lanyard hole. The jigged bone handles are well done with a well inletted shield. Like knives from China or not, this knife is very, very, very, nice. D2 blade steel is a plus too. The knife came in a nice box (not pictured) wrapped in a knife cloth enclosed in a tin tube. I like it so much that I've ordered another for a gift to my just born (last night) great granddaughter.





Looks to be a fine knife, Ed.
 
BFF does not stand for this romantic idea of eternal friendship. Rather, "Barlow Frontpocket Fixed" should be meant here - at least this describes this compact fixed absolutely precisely.

I don’t know about “absolutely precisely,” since it still absolutely is not a Barlow. 😁
 
My second Marble's Barlow has just arrived, I am very happy with the quality of the Ram and the knife.

A nice 43 and all metal Rodgers lamb arrived today. Have always been curious about the 43 but was afraid it might be too big. Happy that I finally pulled the trigger on one.

Great looking 43, Paul -- congrats! Have always loved the blade profile on the 43. :cool: 👍
