"Take the Rough Rider challenge".  That has been the pitch from SMKW for a long while now, buy one and try it out and you'll be impressed.  That being said, I took the RR challenge several years ago and was very impressed.  I tried an Eye-Brand" whittler and was sorely dissappointed.  Loose and ill fitting blades and poor allignment of the handles left a taste in my mouth.  This knife sits on my desk as a reminder not to buy a knife that I can't hold first.  I liked the Eye Brand before I actually held it.  I intend to stay far away from them until I can see improvement in their builld.

She's a carver, not a collector.  For general use 420 is fine, but the 440 that is used in RR is appearantly closer to the specs in a fixed carver.  As much sharpening as I do on my whittlers, RR's hold up among the top 3.

Nice that he is plugging RR but he doesn't seem to know much about pocket knives.  The buck is a 420HC and isn't too bad a knife.  I'll agree it is more due to name recognition that it cost more than a Rough Rider.  Here is a nice review Rough Rider vs Eye Brand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO4uGeDEzE0

No, I don't have one, but I would like to see it, Robert. I have 4 of the RR Moose's. I think RR only has 6 in the Moose pattern.

That would be the Stoneworx Toothpick.    I got one of those the first time around and it was terrific.  f anyone picks it up let me know what you think.   what I like most about it is that is has the most Turquoise in it.  Most of the others Stoneworx knives  run on the Red Jasper side.

Well I see that this month they have a large toothpick in the RR line, part #RR917. Thanks SMKW for the knife.
