[5K Qs]

Sorry, for the long delay in response, had trouble accessing the site. And yes the Canoe is RR 752 and the other is RR 753 actually

No apology necessary; thanks for the confirmation on the model number! :thumbup:

anyone have the 6 blade stockman?
Does it suffer from blade rub?
I have not made it back to the office to get mine.

I don't have a 6 blade stockman but Ive got this 5 blade "medium" trapper. No blade rub to speak of.

Thanks. It's not something I would edc but it's as well made as the other RRs I own. Sorry for the crappy pic.

No blade rub on mine...I think. By the time I work my way thru all the blades, enough time has passed that they could have started to rub at the other end. I still haven't caught them at it...yet.

How thick are those 5-blade models?

Why do all the cheap knives have that ugly coin edge at the nail knicks?

Pretty wide, I'd guess. My 6-blade is a hair over three-quarters of an inch at the center pin. Needless to say, I haven't carried it much; it is quite a lump in the pocket.

I doubt I would have bought it if not for the armor hide scales. By as they say, nothing exceeds like excess.

Albeit inexpensive they are not cheap. And I requested the match strike nail nick from the factory. :thumbup:

Only 3/4 inch thick? That's not too bad ... less than a stock Opinel #8. After I get to the office, I'll give it a shot for EDC.

Thanks, Henry; that is quite a lump, but I've carried some thick SAKs with surprising ease.

+5K! :thumbup: I thoroughly agree with GasMan1 on the inexpensive/cheap distinction for Rough Riders. And although I'm not a huge fan of the matchstrike nail nicks, "ugly" is in the eye of the beholder.

Here's a 4-blade Rough Rider stockman that arrived Friday, a prize I was fortunate enough to win in a recent GAW hosted by btb01.

It's a fairly hefty chunk of bone and steel, but I'm liking it!

Very nice, GT.
Is it going to share pocket space with one of your canoes?

I like the cap lifter! Going to be getting myself one very soon.:thumbup:

I have a orange peanut coming in the mail any day now.

Thanks, Steve.
I have pocket space for lots of knives: every day I carry a stockman, a canoe, a SAK, a foreign knife (usually from Spain), a non-SAK with bail, a watch pocket knife, a "big" knife, and a "miscellaneous" knife. So this stockman will go into the stockman rotation, carrying a different stockman every week.

They're supposed to be match strike nail nicks. I've gotten them to work, but not consistently.

I carried that one a lot when it first arrived. It'll come up again soon. It's a nice knife.

As for the match strike nail nicks: I thought they were cool when I hadn't seen one before, but does every knife have to have them? Not unlike the lined bolsters: a nice detail, but it's hard to find a knife without them.
