Looks like a great piece to me. I really like Rough Ryder Reserve pieces, I have only found a few that don't turn my crank. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day.
The design of it kinda looks like that whittling knife Mooney Warren designed very comfortable and having better control when drawing towards you when cutting an apple or carving nice knife thanks for sharing 👍
Definitely a cool looking knife. I wonder how the severe taper of the tail effects grip. I agree completely on the value of the geometry for draw cuts. I wonder though, does the geometry half the opposite effect on a push cut, cause the wrist to bend inward to angle the blade appropriately. That could stress the wrist a little, maybe. I do really like the blade profile. Really good review. Have a great weekend!
@@rasputinscastle I keep thinking of getting it as I like everything about its looks, but wasn't sure how it would handle. Your vid fixes that for me. Thanks man 👍.
It is. I'm not sure of the thinking on the design. It's an RRR quillcliff. Every New Year is great. It means you survived the last one. Happy New Year, my friend. ✨️🎊❄️
I wont buy anything ever again from SMKW, they always send me bunk knives. They do not check the product before it leaves the shop, I was told that over the phone by CS, and thats how they pawn off "return" knives to unsuspecting out of state buyers, if you get a bad knife they say "You keep that knife we'll send you another" , then they grab the next box in line also without inspecting the product, they if you get 2 bad knives in a row (thats what happens to me every time) you have to send "both" knives back for a full refund and pay the shipping, which is usually higher than the price of the knife they sent now that you are having to return twice the weight and insurance, so most people chose to just eat the damage. That what happened to me every single time I've ordered from them, I live in Arkansas and I guess they hate the Razorbacks so they send us all the crap knives...lol, and make us keep'em. plus it doesnt help that walk -in customers get the pick of the litter and get the best ones. so after 5 bunk knives in a row (over the last 5 yrs) I'm done with SMKW for good.
@denofearthundertheeverlast5138 I love getting these comments. The only crap I ever got from SMKW was a free gift that didn't work 🙃 I'm sorry for your experience, but I'm a Bulldog, and they treat us well. If they are hating on Razorbacks, we'll that's better than Bulldogs. 🤪 Seriously, I'm glad you posted because it's important to get a good perspective of what's going on. Any person is just a data point. But a bunch kinda forms a picture. I'm not a huge fan of Rough Ryders, but I am of Rough Ryder Reserves. I don't send bad knives back for just the reason you're talking about. I worry that a company would just resale them. What do they do with returned knives? Thanks, brother, for your comments. 🙏
Can’t argue the fit and finish, just not my cup tea. Great show my friend
Sweet looking knives Mike.
Good show, Michael 👌
I agree with you about this one

@jeffdewall8872 I'm not familiar with him, but thanks for the info, I'll look him up. You're welcome, brother 🙏
Cool piece! Have a great weekend, buddy!
@davidkurle5418 Stay warm, David ❄️❄️❄️

@Pocket_EDC You too, Todd.
The shape invokes a leaping panthera. Check out the old Jaguar hood ornaments, for example.
@@IanRosie1 That's pretty good!

@IanRosie1 You're welcome, brother. It's what we do.🙂😁
Diggin em brother! Good job!
@davidwilliams1805 Thanks again, brother 🙏
The Buck canoe curves down a bit also.
@Sheepdogtraveling true enough. Good call brother, thank you. 🙂
Not a expert here but the blade on the smaller knife looks short compared to the handle. Like the large Barlow's. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
