J.J. Smith III commented on Tom Hudson's group Rough Rider Collector's"Nope, I got mine several years ago. Only reason I kept it was because of the scales."
"I've seen those knives before, they are neat, that beer barrel knife is the perfect thing for the man that loves beer. I just thought that Rough Rider had come out with a Barb Board pattern knife, I missunderstood ya'll."
J.J. Smith III commented on Tom Hudson's group Rough Rider Collector's"It is kind of neat that they use actual barrel staves to make them."
Billy Oneale commented on Tom Hudson's group Rough Rider Collector's"I like the Boker Beer barrel knives."
J.J. Smith III commented on Tom Hudson's group Rough Rider Collector's"I'm pretty sure that RR hasn't made one in Barn Board. CASE has made several different runs of their Barn Board. The first almost looked like it came off an old barn...
I always thought that a whittler in the Barn Board…"
Billy Oneale commented on Tom Hudson's group Rough Rider Collector's"I don't remember Rough Rider ever having a Barnboard jig. I have one that is a Case blue barnboard jig pilot test knife."
"I've never seen a good picture of a Barnboard knife, anyone have a picture? They must be nice, the way ya'll are talking."
Billy Oneale commented on Tom Hudson's group Rough Rider Collector's"J.J., I 'd like almost anything in a barnboard jig or real barnboard."
Tobias Gibson commented on Tom Hudson's group Rough Rider Collector's"Hi Jan.
As for brands owned by SMKW, My Who Owns Who list at "A pocket guide to knives gives that info. Frost and SMKW own quite a few TMs. See the list at:

If you do a search for Smoky…"
J.J. Smith III commented on Tom Hudson's group Rough Rider Collector's"Well, I'd love to get a whittler in barnboard..."
"Toby,
You'd think the marlin spike would be a no brainier for pearl and the toothpick and scout would be perfect for stag.
Your right, that would seem to be a no brainer LOL. My guess is your also right about the price point for…"
"I'm sorry JJ. I brought that up and didn't mean anything bad, I was just wondering about their warranty on their knives. If I digress the discussion, I didn't mean to, I guess I just come off wrong on what it is I'm trying to…"
Tobias Gibson commented on Tom Hudson's group Rough Rider Collector's"I'm not a big collector or pearl or stag but have been buying the occasional piece if it is a pattern I like. This of course limits my choices as my Rough Rider has not produced pearl or stag in my absolute favorites (large toothpick,…"
"Tobias, thanks for clearing that up did not hear them say that but it would certainly explain things. All the more reason I guess to"buy em when you see em". Some of those items show up and disappear faster than a bass on the lake. And…"
J.J. Smith III commented on Tom Hudson's group Rough Rider Collector's"Didn't meen to digress into a discussion if they would replace the knife or not. Just wanted to let Jay know that I really liked the scales on mine. It was the first "Pearl" handle that I bought, only because of the…"

Hi Tom, I have just started a knife project that you may beable to help me with. I have an old Remington Bullet knife in need of a back side scale. I am having the Muskratman do the work and he said it will be hard to find a match for the bone scale. If you think you may have something that might match please contact him. Muskratman.com Thanks very much, I hope your health improves. Rob
