Purchased this knife a couple of years ago and find it very handy for all sorts of reasons and various jobs on a daily basis. Inoffensive little knife and love the jig bone on this.
You are right on this one having the better blade selection. Good review as always. Never understood the hate some people have towards a spey blade… call it a “reverse tanto” and maybe folk will change their mind
I’ll tell you what that is one of my favorite knives I ever picked up from rough Ryder great piece thrifty!!!!! It’s could be one of the best ones rough ryder came out with!!!!! Thanks buddy stay well
I remember you reviewing this awhile back and loving it. Don’t see this knife come up in many videos but it’s certainly one of Rough Ryders best ‘one off’ knives. (At least I’ve never seen it with any other covers.) I hope it makes a resurgence because my son snatched up the one I ordered the second I opened it.
Hello my friend, Nice little model well finished and not expensive. This allows you to have fun without having to ruin yourself. This brand is very well distributed in France unlike many American brands that I love. American brands must also think of us who are on the Old Continent :) signed ZITO
In that time the Amber jigged bone RRs I got were all very good levels of QC so just kept buying them. I've lost count on how long I've had this model, it's my most used RR, the bolsters aren't as shiny as they used to be but rather than that and the odd scratch it's not a lot different from when I bought it. For the price an outstanding little knife.
Thank you TK another great comprehensive review on a lovely looking knife, like you I have started collecting whittlers, I have 3 at the minute, my favourite would be the RR155 in stag bone, mainly because of the the blade selection,. Thanks again for the review, another for the want list👍🤣 Take care Sam
Thank you for this excellent review, it came at just the time I was looking for a new multi-function 5th pocket knife. The 3 1/4” closed length is the perfect size for this purpose, and you don’t see many whittlers with this handle shape in this smaller size. The whittler pattern has the advantage of offering three blades without the need to “crink” or bend the sheepsfoot blade, as in a traditional two-spring stockman design. Also, I know a lot of people dislike the spey blade, but I found a short spey blade to be the perfect fingernail cleaner for my 92-year-old Dad, who has very sensitive finger tips.
I also reviewed the RR375 a few months ago, absolutely amazing value for the money. Personally, I would like the knife a little longer, so the secondary blades can be slightly thicker ideally. Great first knife for a small handed whittler 👌 Hope your well John 🙏 All the best, Gus 👍
On SMKW YT post about the newest cinnamon bone carbon bladed series, he said they have knives just coming in that were designed and put into production almost two years ago. 🤔
Yea, that's correct, Seb. From design to delivery there is about a two year turn-around, but due to delays they don't always come out in the exact order they were conceived. Pretty typical among the manufacturing processes of things I've been involved in.
@@ThriftyKaniffy thrifty wait till you see the sowbelly I just ordered it’s was a little pricy but omg wait till you see this one!!!! It is a case piece but I can’t tell you more than that I want to wait till it comes in!!!! But I hope it’s as good as it looks
@@ThriftyKaniffy yeah buddy I just pray to god the blades are decidedly centered I just hope there’s no rubbin!!!!! Oh well I guess it is what it is!!!! Fingers crossed and toes
I purchased one from Amazon for under $20 dollars. And I like it alot. Ty for video review. 😊
A really nice whittler for the money. It's not pattern that seems to get a ton of attention.

Yea it's one of those that kinda gets lost in the weeds of RR releases. I'm glad I reviewed it. Thanks Paul.

Probably just the association with nut removal. Not something a guy tends to want to think about.
That is too funny Thrifty!!!
I bet sitting on the front porch with a piece of wood and that knife would turn into a nice afternoon. Thanks for the look at this one, my friend.
Yessir, sounds like a good relaxing time. Thanks David.

Strong praise buddy. Thumbs up, I'm glad it got some love.
Hi. I really like RR amber jigged bone. Very nice looking knife. All the best.
Thank you Rhino, I enjoy it also. A good handle material.
Had one of these lovely knives ,put it into my father in laws pocket before his funeral.I may buy another one to keep .
Lovely idea Squatch, thanks for sharing.
Great review John. A longtime favorite pattern of mine so glad you are turning to it.
Yes, thanks David. It seems to be a well received pattern. Thanks.
Thanks TK!! I just picked this one up and wanted to learn more.. appreciate you my friend!!
Glad I could be of help, J.O. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for taking a look.
Love the Amber Jigged Bone too 👍
It's a good looking handle. Thanks Tim.

I wish they would do a better job of worldwide distribution. Thanks AKE.
That's a nice little knife. I like this blade set more than the other one.
Yes, me too Rick. Cool little coping blade you don't see often.
Nice covers - whittler classic design - great review n knife 👍👍🔥🔥🍻
Thanks Chad.
Love that jigged bone. Thanks for sharing.
Me too. Thanks for watching KD.
Cool intro! 😎
Glad you like it. Already replaced it though. Hopefully you'll like the new one too.
Nice looking Whittler TK . I like it.👍
Thanks Steve, glad you like it.

Solid feedback Richard. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Whittler.
Nice little whittler! That’s an old one, from 2007. I like that coping blade, and the sleeveboard handle. I think I need one!
Hey Su Chicken long time no talk??
Yea Su. Jump on it while you still can buddy. Thanks.

Thanks for having a look Sam. It's a nice option for something a little different.

Thanks for the feedback Dave. Some really nice observations. I use the spine side of a pen blade for fingernail cleaning sometimes,
I also reviewed the RR375 a few months ago, absolutely amazing value for the money.
Personally, I would like the knife a little longer, so the secondary blades can be slightly thicker ideally.
Great first knife for a small handed whittler 👌
Hope your well John 🙏
All the best, Gus 👍
Thanks much Gus. I like the blades a little beefier as well, but for a small carry it does well enough.
Good looking Whittler TK! Amber jigged bone is pretty solid!!
Yep, its a nice material they use. Thanks BigRed.
Very nice!!!!
Thanks LTC.
Spey blade gets no love.
Thanks TK
Nah, it really doesn't. Thanks Check.
That’s a really neat sort of ‘mini’ Whittler. Glad to see it getting some attention!
Yep, I needed to give it some love. Thanks Bill.
It seems like the RR brand is constantly getting better.
They aren't perfect, but overall do some really good things. Thanks Prop.
Really nice little knife,to spend and hour outside with.atb paddy
Oh yea, just do some small carvings. Put your initials and your sweetheart's in a heart on a tree.
I have looked at this one a few times ,nice looking little knife. Great review TK
Thanks JP, something a little different.
That's a nice one. I have one hiding around here somewhere.
Hope it doesn't stay lost as long as "Crackie."
Just found one of these and bought it, thanks
No problem. Happy to help, Edwin.
Would definitely prefer this to a stockman although it is a bit small, I have the Canoe in same covers and they are nice.
It is on the small side, but I do like the blade set. Thanks Lewis.
I like it great review Sir.
Much appreciated, Prestriedge. Glad you like it.
@@ThriftyKaniffy Yes Sir.
great size and love RR amber bone
Yes, great size for a pocket dropper. Thanks for taking he time Tim.
I have the amber jigged bone canoe - I think I am going to get this and the Barlow whilst I still can
Right on Matthew. I hate missing out on things I intended to buy. Take care.

You just made me throw that in a slip and carry it!!!!
Cool. That's a nice idea Pete. Thanks man.
@@ThriftyKaniffy thrifty wait till you see the sowbelly I just ordered it’s was a little pricy but omg wait till you see this one!!!! It is a case piece but I can’t tell you more than that I want to wait till it comes in!!!! But I hope it’s as good as it looks
@@jerseyknifeguy6382 Looking forward to it. Case makes some great sowbellies.
@@ThriftyKaniffy yeah buddy I just pray to god the blades are decidedly centered I just hope there’s no rubbin!!!!! Oh well I guess it is what it is!!!! Fingers crossed and toes
I bought a Marbles Cattle Knife to gift my feed dealer, as much money as I’ve spent there maybe he’ll gift me a Randall 😀
Ha. One could hope. Thanks Prop.
