My Rough Ryder Knife Collection

[@furyxan]

Awesome collection! Coincidentally, I was browsing my copy of Levine's recently and I saw that knife, third from last, that RR always calls "half hawks" are actually a very old pattern of knives for sailors and the traditional name for them is "Whalers" or whaling knives.

[@MrBarlow]

Didn’t know that. I thought it was a more modern design but it totally makes sense!

[@MrHPT3]

I purchase some RR a few years back and wasn't happy with the walk and talk and overall quality, but I recent purchased 2 RR and it seems to me that their quality control has gotten better over the years.

[@rcjoe406]

I just got my first RR a razor trapper has some flaws but for 16 all in on Amazon i would never complain i see more in my future...great collection u got there 😊

[@susans.2664]

Very nice collection! Thanks for sharing with us. Really like your creative mods. I love the half hawk. Perfect for opening boxes of new knives.

[@rockd8946]

Very nice! I enjoy the RR Reserve editions. Picked a few up… thx for the vid. Enjoyed.

[@jeroenvoss6231]

I like your modifications on some of the knives, they are now unique. Great collection overall with quite a few pieces i would like to get my hands on. Thank you for showing them.

[@MrBarlow]

I really want to try some scrimshaw soon

[@ite7788]

Purple sparkle barlow is sooooooo luxurious looking

[@dragonslayer990]

Nice collection. Marble knives are my favorites.

[@LovelyBaseball-ex1zn]

You have some real nice rough rider knife s

[@ihopetowin]

I have now received a few RR knives and I have to say I'm very impressed. A couple have very minor issues but truly nothing to bother me, they are nice pieces to look at and admire.

[@daven.8209]

I’m impressed with your blade and cover mods! I would like to see more of your work in the future!

[@MrBarlow]

One day I want to be able to make/replace the covers!

[@liamstone3437]

Just pucked up a RR Marlin spike knife and it seems pretty solid. It will stay with my boat.

[@madtownangler]

The only Rough Rider of yours that I have is the SouthWest pattern in the top row. Some of them were kinda cool

[@diverdave2179]

Cool lot of Rough Ryders there, Mr. Barlow. I like the green G10 one as it's a bit different, could've used a shield though.

[@knifedelights7473]

Nice collection. And I heard you say "delight!"

[@MrBarlow]

Haha ah yes, I’ll send the copy infringement check your way very soon! Thanks for watching Knife Delights!

[@stevenyman1026]

Nice collection

[@skcamerican]

Cool to see them all laid out together. I think you need more, though.

[@MrBarlow]

I couldn’t agree more… thanks for supporting my obsession haha

[@WilliamsKnifeLife]

Very nice collection. You are missing some patterns like Sunfish, Elephant toes.

[@MrBarlow]

Yep, still trying to complete the knife circle of life 🙌

[@WilliamsKnifeLife]

@@MrBarlow I started out trying to get just one pattern of each Rough Ryder traditional knife. Of course i got caught up in series & handle materials. I'm still missing some patterns, not because they are hard to find, it's just my focus wonders off.

[@halcooper6059]

Tear drop jack I believe you asked about. I agree the high plain series has a nice finish.

[@MrBarlow]

Tear drop jack! The proper name, thanks

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

[@stuartgross162]

great collection

[@myimorata7678]

I've always liked RR as collector's items. I'll let someone more knowledgeable testify as to their work ethic and whether they have a place in a toolbox. But they have awesome patterns and I like the ones I own.

[@MrBarlow]

I could not agree more! They make so many different patterns at a great price. They're perfect for the collector that does not want to spend big bucks

[@simguy912]

Lost my buckshot bone tear drop jack. I used the heck out of that thing. I'd love to have another. If you ever wanted to sell yours hit me up.

[@skcamerican]

I got mine on eBay -I think there are some for sale there. Do a search for RR1547. I keep hoping RR will make some more, in any covers.

[@carmineredd1198]

i would like the 2'' knives and a 4-3/4'' mop copperhead

[@carmineredd1198]

and the big green linerlock. how fast can you thumb it open ? my schrade + 125ot opened faster than a switchblade

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

How did you dimple that sowbelly dude I want to do that to my new lockstock reserve denim Micarta those scales are so smooth and that’s exactly what I had in mind

[@angryagain68]

Really like your mods. I did notice no "Red Pick Bone" in your collection. Guess they weren't all that popular with folks.

[@MrBarlow]

The red pick bone didn’t really catch my eye

[@GregWilmoth]

Where do you by rough riders at? Stores or garage sales, friends? I’m new sub here!

[@lRickGrimesl]

Online they’re easy to find

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

You do nice mod work!!!!

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

Amazing!!!!!!!

[@propblast82nd]

How did you dye that white smooth bone blue ? Looks great !🤙

[@MrBarlow]

I heated up some synthetic blue Rit dye in a pan (purchased at Michaels for $8) Then I dipped the knife in the heated dye for about a minute. Very easy method and it was my first dying experience. I think it turned out pretty good!

[@propblast82nd]

@@MrBarlow it turned out great 👍 , gonna give it go myself .

[@p.h.f.8223]

Nice collection. You mentioned selling some knives. Do you use Ebay?

[@MrBarlow]

Yes I do, it’s the easiest method for me

[@jelkel25]

There's something to be said that I have between 10 and a 15 RRs and only one the exact same as any of yours. You cannot fault them for choice if you like a traditional. Do like their carbon steel though I have no complaints about their 440.

[@MrBarlow]

Wow which knife do you have that is similar?

[@jelkel25]

@@MrBarlow The carbon Sow Belly, great little knives.

[@mrseuff617]

What’s the best platform to sell knives on?

[@MrBarlow]

I sell them on eBay. It’s the most convenient for me

[@jamescrissey6031]

Just ran across your video you said you wasn't sure how the lady leg became a thing it was for gentleman gamblers the heel of the lady leg is actually a bottle opener I couldn't get the pattern till read this then the lady leg started to make sense

[@MrBarlow]

Well thanks to you, I learned some knife history today. After knowing that, I like and appreciate the lady leg a bit more!

[@j.f.9445]

Que hermosa colecion no las vende

[@durango8882]

😳

[@LovelyBaseball-ex1zn]

It's a tear drop knife

[@matthewrix2164]

No canoes 🛶?

[@MrBarlow]

Sadly no RR canoes yet. A canoe and a true Hawkbill are next on my list
