I like traditional knives.

[@BigRedEDC]

Me too Kelly!

[@addictedtoblades2]

Happy LABOR day ❤

[@BigRedEDC]

Happy Labor Day brother!

[@pocketknives_and_harmonicas]

Thanks for showing this RRR. Wish we could get our hands on these knives up here in Canada. Take care Big Red!

[@danieltporter959]

White mountain Knives ships to Canada, they sell RR and RRR as well. I have bought a few from WMK'S . Rosecraft Blades also Ship to Canada, their Slip Joints are on par with Rough Ryder Reserve. Both are great knife websites.

[@BigRedEDC]

Looks like Daniel hooked you up with some info. Thanks for checking it out!

[@BigRedEDC]

@danieltporter959 thank you very much

[@barrykarpowich731]

THAT'S NICE FOR THE POCKET REALLY 😊

[@BigRedEDC]

You bet!

[@Seppiedog]

I like traditional knives, I have a bunch, but don't have a sow belly. Barlow and Sod Buster/Workman type, blades is my pick. 194OT Old Timer Gunstock Trapper is 💯as well. Not to take away that this is a great looking knife, more scale colors/textures is needed. They do a good job on the brown micarta, but variety is the spice of knife scales. Thanks for sharing BigRed, be safe.

[@BigRedEDC]

Barlows and Sod Busters are my favorites as well James!!! Thanks so much!

[@deanP.]

That is a good looking knife. I know Thrifty Kaniffy will love it. Thanks for showing it.

[@BigRedEDC]

I think you are correct Dean!

[@danieltporter959]

Another Rock solid Slippy from RRR!

[@BigRedEDC]

It really is Daniel!

[@mikereese15]

Very nice.

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks Mike! Happy Labor Day!

[@justinmcvay5560]

Happy Labor Day. Good video 👍. Thank you for sharing 👏

[@BigRedEDC]

Happy Labor Day Justin!

[@RandysWSG]

Very cool! That's a bazar spey blade haha. Great looking knife and excellent video JB!

[@BigRedEDC]

I like stubby....lol!

[@shanecoursen]

Always nice to see RRR slips. As for upgraded steel or handle material, you can call me a traditionalist if you want but I'd vote no simply for the economics of it. The RRR skips are well-built and affordable. Start messing around with the handle/steel formula and you'll be looking at $100+ which just isn't necessary for a slipjoint. Just my opinion. Happy Labor Day!

[@BigRedEDC]

That is a very fair point Shane!

[@acid6urns]

i agree, considering most slipjoints have 1095 carbon or 420hc/440a stainless at best (unless you get into the like $150+ bokers and some custom slippies) D2 is a fairly significant upgrade in edge retention from either. it’s also technically not stainless but won’t rust easily like 1075/1095. D2 is also available fairly cheaply and is about the best edge retention you can get even including more expensive knives (unless you get say a magnacut boker) even the expensive bokers really only come in 440c/n690/o1 tool steel.

[@mynamesjustbill1583]

I do always like when they use the burlap micarta. Thick is the RRR way!

[@BigRedEDC]

Does seem that way Bill!

[@craigwilkes]

I like it. Looks like a great fit and finish. Thanks JB. Happy Labor Day too you and Nellie.

[@BigRedEDC]

Happy Labor Day my friend!!

[@rasputinscastle]

I like it.👍 . Thanks for the Labor Day video.

[@BigRedEDC]

Have a great day!

[@adrienjames]

Thanks for sharing! That really does look well put together. Good action with a cool looking spey!! 😎

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks so much for watching

[@diverdave2179]

Prefer my micarta smooth ( no exposed fibres) but that being a Sowbelly, I fancy it. Gaps between blades are not as glaring as those earlier models. Thanks JB!

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks so much Dave!

[@MichaelR58]

Happy Labor Day, nice knife JB, thanks for sharing, God bless brother !

[@BigRedEDC]

Thank you very much Michael!

[@lewisgreenway5065]

Interesting shaped blades doesn't look like they would create hotspots in use, decent size for the UK market.

[@BigRedEDC]

Not too bad at all Lewis!

[@Twiceborn_by_grace]

I love that knife! I like how the pins and badge compliments the brown micarta.

[@BigRedEDC]

Very well done for sure!

[@jonrost5574]

I like the sowbelly pattern. It would look even better without the brass. Great video, JB!

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks Jon!!

[@davidkurle5418]

I'm a big fan of the stockman pattern and this take on it looks really neat to me. I'd carry this one any day! Cheers, my friend!

[@BigRedEDC]

Very good David

[@BaxtersBlades]

Looks like another good RRR! I do like there burlap micarta. And the blade selection and shapes reminds me of my Roper sowbelly! Thank you for sharing JB!! Hope you have today off work. Happy Larbor day brother!

[@BigRedEDC]

Happy Labor Day my friend!! Thanks for watching!

[@just_nate_8694]

I still dont have any RR knives and for the prices, im not sure why. Maybe it's time.

[@BigRedEDC]

They are great value knives Nate!

[@singingtoad]

I have a couple RR knives and they a very decent for being so budget friendly. Thanks for sharing and Cheers!

[@BigRedEDC]

They are great value knives!

[@jeroenvoss6231]

A hefty little sowbelly. two droppoint blades instead of a sheepsfoot, i like the sheepsfoot blades. But overall a good edc traditional. Thank you JB.

[@BigRedEDC]

It's a stout knife for sure Jeroen!

[@grimreaper6042]

This is a slick slip joint I like the upgraded steel and the materials thanks for sharing JB

[@BigRedEDC]

Thank you as always Grim!!

[@grimreaper6042]

@@BigRedEDC Always welcome brother

[@chrishinkle5982]

Hope you have a good Labor Day and I definitely hope your not having to Labor on Labor Day. Thanks for sharing bud!👊🏻Not to shabby for a RRR knife it seems to be done pretty well

[@BigRedEDC]

Happy Labor Day Chris! No work today for me!!

[@timb4425]

For some reason, I lost a little interest in the RRR line when they added the modern flippers. I will still pick one up from time to time, but something changed for me when they started adding the modern stuff. This one looks decent even though I prefer the single bladed versions. Thanks JB

[@BigRedEDC]

The slip joints have my attention way more than the modern knives do! There are a couple of RRR traditional models coming that I know I want to get my hands on!! Thanks so much Tim!

[@bwax1542]

They should have named this knife "Chunky" and thrown in a Chunky candy treat! Mine will be here later this week from Chicago Knife works {@ $12.23 cheaper than SMKW}. Thanks for showing. Have an awesome Labor Day Celebration!

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks for watching! You must have got it on sale! List price at CKW is 57.31 and add shipping it comes out to 63.75. Only about a dollar difference with my free shipping code.

[@unclecow]

Always thought they were cool one day I’ll get back to my collection and add one great video jb

[@BigRedEDC]

I hope you do my friend!

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Lol you hit it on the head lol that thing is heavy lol 😊

[@BigRedEDC]

Yeah...not too bad though!

[@acid6urns]

i wish the RRR barlow wasn’t sold out everywhere, i love spearpoints and barrows. i just recently grabbed one of the lockstocks and that gunstock handle is beautiful

[@BigRedEDC]

Yeah...the Barlow is hard to find!!

[@radar468]

Dig a good RRR! Hope you get the day off!

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks radar! Yes sir I do!!

[@Salamando3D]

I just won a RR from the SMKW NKD GAW! That's a lot of acronyms haha. I have no idea which one it is, they didn't say, but I'm looking forward to finding out once it gets here! Thanks for the look at this one JB! 👍

[@BigRedEDC]

Awesome Salamando!!! Hope you dig it!!

[@rustyknifelover4463]

Happy Lador Day JB. I dig it one of my favorite patterns.

[@BigRedEDC]

Happy Labor Day Rusty!

[@TheRadiogeek]

The back spring looks real good. When ever I see a nail nick with a match strike it reminds me of an eyelash. Thanks for showing it to us JB. 👍🔪

[@BigRedEDC]

It does look like it...lol

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

I can’t carry that tank 😊

[@BigRedEDC]

Weighty but not that bad!

[@chaddamron3877]

Great looking blade - I need to pull a trigger on a RRR - would luv to see a carbon blade - even b cool w a T10 - great vid my man

[@BigRedEDC]

That would be cool Chad! Thanks brother!

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Looks awesome! Great video JB 👍

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks for taking a look Jeremy

[@thomasmcdonald4425]

I like RR slippies. I have no finger nails so nail nicks are a no-go. I need something where I can pinch the blade. I’m interested in RR’s Apta series in vg10. But overall a nice looking knife, thanks for sharing 👍

[@BigRedEDC]

I love the Apta series Thomas!

[@Oxmyx01]

I like it. Oxmyx has spoken.

[@BigRedEDC]

Lol...right on!!!

[@kenwilliams2219]

That sow belly is a hog! Love it. You know you have it in your pocket.

[@BigRedEDC]

Oh it will definitely be in the pocket!

[@desertratedc9596]

I wish the spey was a sheep's foot because I think that would be a great combination of blades. I guess I will stick with my case sowbelly and RRR #8 common stockman.

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks for watching

[@kevink.2719]

Happy labor day always enjoy these knives

[@BigRedEDC]

Happy Labor Day Kevin!

[@cheatobandito]

Love aeing some strong springs on the RRR line.

[@tomquirin4231]

my brotha jb, were you ever into/like case or buck style slip joints , i personally owned 1/kizer n not too familiar with this style here , blades are cool if you into them , nice indeed , keep up the hard work = play hard , lol, lol, talk soon my bro > tom !

[@BigRedEDC]

I have a few Case slip joints. Not many Buck though

[@tomquirin4231]

@@BigRedEDC yea case factory used to be here in pa or still is , not sure on that ?, lol, n never owned a buck yet , cool brotha n i am tracking down a 90's camo pattern boonie cover for trade/swap/barter if you know anybody out there n trying to find a 4 max scout blade on the secondary market via trade/swap/barter if you can help me any ?, thanks brotha > tom !

[@bigjim55able]

That knife needs some of that red bone. It's great, but that material would be fantastic. Isn't this a Stockman?

[@BigRedEDC]

Yep...Sowbelly Stockman

[@bigjim55able]

@@BigRedEDC Of course. I only carried one for 20 years, Mine is a Case with jigged brown bone. Dad's was straight.

[@ericstarr9399]

I'm not sure why they would eliminate the sheepsfoot from a stockman pattern. It is one of the best parts and they kept the spey?!

[@BigRedEDC]

Make it their own kinda like the kayak

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

I can’t wait to see what you have to say then I’ll tell you what I think!!!!!😊

[@BigRedEDC]

LOL....right on Pete!

[@TeeFetch]

Which brand is your fav slippies?

[@BigRedEDC]

Rough Ryder for super budget and good value. Rosecraft Blades for high quality good value. Ohio River Jack for slightly higher end. GEC for classic quality soup joints and Jack Wolf for high end premium!!

[@beeferbaron]

Rough Ryder rules

[@BigRedEDC]

Some good knives

[@skcamerican]

I like this old-timey version of the stockman with the drunken angles on the blades. It looks good, but RRRs are too pricey for this cowpoke. Lol.

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks for checking it out Su!
