I luv RR Knives, they brought me back to Slip Joints. I agree The Sod Buster and Barlows are my 2 favs.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep cannot walk past a Sod buster...the horror. Thanks for watching

[@charlesclaridy8646]

Great video as always George. Rough Ryders do make sense and if one is worried about losing one; Well, Buy two. For the price why not. I have a number of them and one of the most useful is the Backwoods Stockman. Old fashioned, but it works. Stay warm up there. Here in the southeast it is feeling like summer already. For now that is. Take Care!

[@2ndchancegeorge]

True story. Very affordable 👌. Thanks again for watching

[@lorenray9479]

Now George! You always seem to remind me of the wood dwarfs and wood gnimphs with sticky fingers. Or was it that grey digger burrowing with my favorite knives with a snicker??? Leatherman? Gone!!! 70.00 now? Sheesh bowinkle! Now my old barlow. Heavy 2 blade with a brassy feeling. 25 years and never replaced? Oh what to do? What to do? Lol Moras, Jokers, k bars, but still hankering for a barlow, but which one???

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Lol...always need a good Barlow. There are alot out there

[@DogLegDoug]

Being a knife addict, I have spent over $100 on quite a few knives. The problem is I'm afraid to use them so I bring my budgets to work haha. RR apta are unreal for the price, 1/10 the price of those Jack Wolf ones, I got the Micarta one, blows my mind. You're the man George, great video!i

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Thank you. 😊 with your on budget. The RR stuff well worththe money. Be safe out there and appriciate the support

[@propblast82nd]

The Apta series is fantastic

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep really liking it. Glad RR. Have come up with some new styles. Thanks for the support

[@ROE1300]

👍 I like Rough Ryder knives and have selected several based upon your showcasing them - thank you. I have had Case, GEC, Chris Reeve, Boker, Benchmade and other so-called “high end” knives, but believe Rough Ryder provides the best value. Will they hold up for generations? I don’t know, but with proper care perhaps.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

All true. I am a budget guy and Rough rider certainly provides me well. Thanks again for the support. Oh been looking at some other makes. Maybe not as well known.

[@brianlurten3028]

I bought a few rough rider and marbles, never used, still in box's with rest of my not in rotation knives. They all look good, that's why I bought them they caught my eye.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep. They have some lookers. And for the price they are worth a look. Thanks for watching always appriciated

[@robertbudnik3318]

I too am a RR freak for the same reasons you espoused in this video, ie., affordability, quality, variety, beauty. Thanks for sharing a few from your collection.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Lol. Thanks for watching. I appriciate the support

[@tampajimmie11]

I have and use the carbon classic in yellow.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Nice. Unusual knife. Thanks for watching. 👀

[@KennethSpeed-g4l]

George, you folder fondler, HA HA, always fun to hear what you have to say. Well, you finally did it. You persuaded me to buy a Rough Ryder knife. I bought the large stockman pattern in the faded blue jeans series, and I have to confess that I'm very impressed. I really like the fit and finish; everything seems right. It's a good-looking knife. The wharncliff blade is slightly out of line with the handle, but it has to be to allow room for the spey blade. I don't expect that I'll keep it as a collector's knife. I'll take it out and try slicing an apple and whittling a stick or two to see how it works and sharpen the blade to see how well the steel takes an edge, but so far, I'm happy with what I bought, and, yes, the price is definitely right.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Nice. I have the Texas star one I use. I kept all the faded blue jean stuff for a collection. Be safe out there. Thanks again for the support.

[@tonynapoli5549]

Now how did I miss this video ! Hope you ok George ... for some reason I haven’t been getting any notification from you, take care. Good review

[@2ndchancegeorge]

That's an older video...from 2023 I think. Lol. Sometimes UT doesn't notify, I see alot of channels saying that. No worries. Be safe

[@KernArms]

I agree buddy.. no blade snob here..👍 Rough Ryder.. good knives, good quality I think but mostly a great value.. thanks for sharing

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep agree, thanks for watching . Be safe

[@CesarA915]

Have you tried whittling with the cotton sampler? I am interested in getting one! For your work knife but want something a little smaller I recommend the rough Ryder wasp liner lock. It’s a smaller work knife but with vg10 and g10 handles ! My favorite

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Huh gonna have to look at that. Thankyou. Whitting with the Sampler might be difficult because of the wide blade. 🤔

[@jerrynewman1380]

I'm same way George...I just got my cowboy skiner from marbles..I like it

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Thankyou. Love them RR knives cannot beat value. And they are starting to come out with new styles...yay. thanks for watching always appriciate the support

[@mikebohling2280]

Well done George !

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Thankyou appriciated sir

[@cloycespears9632]

My sod buster came the same way with the liner lock not working. I just moved it in and out and that took care of it.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep. They just need to wear in. Thanks for watching always appreciated

[@gregritchie9375]

"Fondle my favorite folders" that’s funny! I have a soft spot for Case knives. Comes from my youth. The local department store had a beauty shop in the basement. Outside of the beauty shop was a display case full of Case knives. While mom was getting her hair fixed, I would ogle the case knives. Hey, if you can fondle, I can ogle! That is where my love of Case knives was birthed. My favorite folding patterns are the Sodbuster and the Trapper. You got me interested in the Rough Ryder knives with your wonderful reviews. It’s amazing the quality you get for such a reasonable price. You sir, are responsible for my Rough Ryder collections. It started with the Blue Mule series, then the Heavy Forge, just finished up the Faded Blue Jean series. I a wanting to go to the fixed blades next, and I like the reserve series, but they are a bit pricey. Oh, my favorite Rough Ryder knife? The Blue Mule Sunfish.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Nice. I do like case but are really outside my budget. Not by much when considering the cost of some others. Glad to help. Apppriciate your support as always. Stay safe 🙏

[@rickyhurtt5568]

Yeah old man winter has been hammering yall hasn't he. I live in AL and the lowest Temps we've had is about 30 early in the morn. Was in hi 70s 2 weeks ago. I agree with you about the knives. All I can see is this supposed super steels. I'd rather save the hundreds and touch my cheap knife up every once in a while. I've been thinking about buying some of the RR knives myself. For some reason I never have

[@2ndchancegeorge]

RR Have some great knives and you cannot beat the value. Stay safe

[@skcamerican]

Lol. “If it has blades, I’ll buy it.” I own a Case and a GEC and a few RRRs, and I’m firmly in the RR camp. They make soooooo many different patterns and covers and styles. And they make them well. And they’re inexpensive, so I can have a bunch. Picking just five would be tough. You did good.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep started try to decide and gave up..lol. just randomly picked them. Thanks again forcwatching

[@skcamerican]

@@2ndchancegeorge My top five would prob be the last five I bought. Barring any disappointments. Lol.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

True 👍

[@gizmaticopappy1524]

Really starting to get into traditional knives more. I've always had some and enjoyed them but had gotten away from them. RR knives are a phenomenal value. Love some of those RoseCraft traditionals as well. Oh and I'm for sure on a budget lol. I have five kids 😂Thanks for sharing. Great content.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Ouch..5. Yep look at Mables knives, great value.thanks for watching and be safe 👍

[@denofearthundertheeverlast5138]

I just bought my first RR knife, I decided to get the Tuff Stag Scout Knife, its a beautiful big scout knife,and I'm hoping I get a really good sample of one, my first purchase several yrs ago from SMKW was not pleasant when I ordered a Bear & Sons Yellow Handle Synth Carbon Steel Stockman. I'm hoping I get a good one now.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Great. Let me know . Be safe

[@jamesflener6889]

I would never see.most of those if you didn't have a good vid on them! Thanks 2cg!!

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Yep. I try.. . 😆 be sade my friend

[@paulsmith380]

Great channel, great content!

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Many thanks Sir. Be safe out there. Appriciate the support .

[@James-ke5sx]

I have 4 of those Sodbusters and they lockup the same as yours. Also I have other knives that have the same locking system and they're not supposed to go all the way over they should stay somewhere in the middle.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Ahhh. I was really dissapointed in the lock. Also seemed that they never cleaned it. But hey. It's a sharp and shinny. Thanks for watching

[@westbsa7424]

👍👍👍

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Thankyou sir

[@beaurex4756]

Have you looked at the rr2444 and rr1326? I'm up to at least 10 Rough Ryders. Like Ganzo, a lot of knife for the money.

[@2ndchancegeorge]

I have not. Ill check them out. The Ganzo looking very interesting. Thanks for watching. Apprciate your support

[@EDCandLace]

It was 96f here today lol

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Lol....I first time in awhile I did not need a jacket to go out side. It got up to 34...whoot

[@rickyhurtt5568]

Where are you buying those RRs please

[@2ndchancegeorge]

I shop...but if you go to Smokey Mountain Knife Works (SMKW) Website they have the complete line.(Excellent website for knife shopping) I believe they own the RR brand but not sure on that. They have specials now and again. If I find one I like I will price shop. I have Amazon prime so sometimes they may have a better price. Good luck.
