Looks to be a fine knife, Ed.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.
