Rough Ryder APTA Modern Slip Joint Red Aluminum RR2282 – Their Best knife yet…By far
I am a knife fiend…anything sharp and shiny gets my attention. I spend hours looking at them on the puter. Often…actually more than not. I see a knife that demands my attention. That is untill I see the asking price. I sigh loudly and reluctantly move on. I am on a budget. I just cannot afford these prices of some of these folders. They range from about $60 up to about $360. Just out of sight for me.
I am a budget knife owner. My favorite maker by a long mile being Rough Ryder. Very competitive in my price range. Yep about $30 is my limit. Typically they are below $20.
I get frustrated and down cast with this budget. There are so many knives I moved past that I would love to own.
AND THEN ROUGH RYDER COMES THROUGH……
This knife by far is the best made and a looker I now own. Rough Ryder came out with a series they call the modern range of the traditional knives. AWESOME. This guy is in my budget, unbelievably under the $30.00 limit I have. I would take it over many knives double the price out there.
Yep happy camper right now. And Rough Ryder has boosted my budget moral.
Remember patient and persistance pays off.

Rough Ryder Moose, Green G-10 Handles RR2085, It takes after it’s name for sure.
This knife is a beast. The blade combination is perfect, the G-10 scales are awesome and the size makes this knife a great working class pocket knife. Work, hunting, camping or just outdoors this will be a great pocket pal to take along.

DIY Custom Ferro Rod Handles – Fun project and handy to have.
I bore easily. So I tend to find things to do. Well I like playing with random wood I find when on a walkabout. I makes walking sticks, toggles for tent and hammock camping, spoon carving etc. Thus time I found some interesting wood. Sooooo
This is what I did with it. Great little project to keep me out of trouble
