Today, while topic is Rough Ryder, I selected these two, made before the Y entered the branding😉
 
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

The nail nick is one thing that I not too much a fan of and I dont know why?  It looks like and eye with long eye lash  :dunno:
:iagree: Rough Ryder calls it a match strike pull, and it may well be. I just think match strikes work better on long pulls.

I'd prefer it a simple nail nick or long simple pull.  The eyelash not so much.  That aside they do have some appealing patterns.  I have a Electrician somewhere from them.  Its a good knife.  FnF is very good.

A marketing ploy, to set them apart.

When setting smudge pots in middle of the night and early mornings, used the side of fixed blade I was assigned. The box storing matches would get damp, so would load up a pocket full of stick matches, knife and crate of filled pots on the hand cart.

Today I paired my pocket carry to compliment each other, a Clip point 055 and a Spear point Canoe 389.

I like those.  I'll snap a pic when I figure out what I'm carrying today.

I got these inexpensive slips to try out when I began to carry trads daily.  I love my squirt so that was a no brainer to go into the slip.  This particular set includes my Copperlock and 4/7 AAA light.  I also really enjoy my little trads so a Peanut was added.

Black Friday is still today,  but the sales started a while ago.
Staying safe at home so far today.

Cleaned up a newly arrived Buck Canoe, stained reddish and just  filthy,  yet like new sharp.  I suspect it was part of a Holiday tin set Buck prepared for Walmart in 2016, as I recalled several different colors that season including red, blue, black, stag and maybe brown wood.

Picture posing with my selected EDC, a Tribal and Hammer/Nail Canoe and Vagabond.

 


A blue canoe should arrive next week. 😜

If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

A RR work knife will be partnered up to my SAK Vagabond today when I get around to leaving the homestead and locate that SAK as I am pretty sure it is in my Jean pocket that is now in the laundry hamper :think:

One pairing that always makes sense for me is Manager with any Trad.  Two trads and a Manager makes even more sense  ;)
