I like a mix of brands. When I visit the "Rough Rider store" and I have time, I'll pick up a couple. Maybe that is a good name for that store since they are not a BF merchant.
I'm not sure if skinny blades is just part of the congress design or not. But the boker plus model is extremely thin to have 4 blades. Today only after owning one day a blade bent bc of how skinny it is. I will admit I was cutting through a 1 inch abs pipe and it slipped and jabbed into the pipe. So for any harder work a def no no. For opening letters and light widdling etc.. It should fare fine. I was able to bend the blade back but I'm not going to carry the knife to work anymore. Its a beauty for the price. Can someone answer that if extremely skinny blades are a part of the congress patern or is it boker. If its the pattern I would recommend the stockman as most stockmans I have have blades just thick enough for the tougher stuff.

[emoji33]Just bear in mind that widdling on the porch is frowned upon.

Widdling the porch was frowned upon by my Grand Mother.Just bear in mind that widdling on the porch is frowned upon.
You have to be a little careful with that here as they are not a Blade Forums dealer. I buy my Rough Riders there also and usually in person. I visit the store a couple times a year and usually walk out with an assortment of knives. I enjoy the store a lot, but I can't afford too many visits.Thanks, Moon, for the top view pics of your whittler and the ref to SMKW.
I'm now in the market for a nice, cheap toothpick from them, and started a new thread here to get some comments about all the toothpick brands that SMKW shows. There are a bunch to choose from.
Nice barlow. Is it saw cut bone? Did you put a satin finish on the bolster?
