Only have one miniature Muskrat which is surprisingly heavily used. Don't like blue scales but really like the clean lines and unfussiness of this knife and appreciate a bit of brightness as harder to loose. A nice little purchase there TK!
I don't have many Muskrats, but it's a nice change-up from my typical carries. I do lean toward using a clip blade for a majority of tasks, but usually from a stockman or lockback.
I have this knife and it's a great knife. I process rabbits and general farm chores with it and it's well suited to those task. The muskrat pattern makes a great farm pocket knife. Start your day on one blade, switch out as it starts to dull and keep going.
I like a muskrat and that's a good size I've got a ocoee river muskrat by frost that I've been carrying and surprisingly it's a good little knife.Thanks Thrifty
With the addition of this muskrat, you've got a nice group of two-bladed knives there. A sunfish for heavier work, a canoe for edc, and a muskrat for small game. Awesome! Thanks for the look at this one, buddy. I like that blue mule series. Cheers!
Pretty cool little knife. Not the biggest fan of the muskrat though I have a few around here. RR's Blue Mule series is a great addition to traditional patterns, a 21st Century spin on the old fashioned workman's knives. I have the Sunfish in this style, and I ended up liking it way more than I thought I would. My only complaint is the lack of variety in colors offered, but that is a very, very minor complaint. Have a great Sunday, TK!
I like the Muskrat pattern for the long thin blades and handle size. It is much like a bird and trout knife with two folding blades. They work well for making small precise cuts.🙂
I really like the series because, like you said, you can try solid builds of basic patterns for a great price. And they’re good no-frills knives. But I don’t own a single one because, for just a little more, I can get something a little fancier or prettier. So I’m shallow. Lol. But a really smart offering from RR.
Thank you TK! The Rough Rider Blue Mule muskrat knife is a beautiful knife! Thank you for the video it looks fantastic! These are a great Christmas gift for anybody in your family or friend group it's just a perfect knife for such things and it's a nice knife for yourself also! This is a nice little pocket wrap! Have a great day sir
You as well, KJ. The muskrat pattern gets often overlooked, but at the end of the day even for a stockman fan, I must admit the utility and frequency of use of the clip point blade is undeniable. So why not have two.
Happy Sunday TK, nice looking Muskrat! So far I have only one Muskrat in my collection, the Frost / Steel Warrior Muskrat SW-122AB which is 3.5" closed length & has handles with artificial Abalone coated in resin. I must admit that the Abalone handle on this Muskrat is nowhere as impressive in its color variations & sparkle as my Queen City QC001 large Canoe
I don't have a Muskrat and pondered for ages about getting one, as you say at this price its worth getting to see if the pattern is to one's liking, I have looked at the old Stoneworks version on Heinnie Haynes but never pulled the trigger, will wait and see how much difference in price between Stoneworks and Blue mule.
Nice knife . Not a fan of the muskrat pattern myself , but for processing small game or general E.D.C. , how can you go wrong for $10.00 or so ? Great review . Peace . Be Free .
I wish they would make more patterns in this series. Great video.
I would like that, there's plenty of other patterns I'd pick up if they did. Thanks Rusty.

That's it exactly. Thanks for the comment, Jack.

The pattern gets overlooked, but having two of the same great blade is a blessing if that blade happens to be good. Thanks, Doug.
It has a wavy hot dog shape, really nice with those 2 big blades, thanks for showing, the blades without the swedging still look good.
Usually referred to as a serpentine handle. The clip point is a useful blade, no swedging required. Thanks Jose.

Yep, the color isn't fantastic, but just gives you no hesitation in beating it like a rented "Blue Mule"
I like that series! Great looking knives! I have a few of them!!
The did this series right. Sensible, affordable, working knives.
Very cool! I’ve been wanting to try a muskrat! Thanks!
A nice, affordable option, JOVO. Give it a shot.
I really like this series. I have the Elephant Toe. Great knife.
That's a great knife too. Like the canoe as well. Thanks North Star.
I reminds me of the serpentine stockman in it's profile. Thanks for the review.
Quite similar in shape to a stockman, good symmetry. Thanks gemstate.

Yes, I agree. A folding Bird n Trout. I urge people to give it a try.

@@ThriftyKaniffy 👍👍🎯🎯 absolutely! Why not!

These are real basic, and not much for show, but they are perfect for being used as EDC beaters.
I like the gap between the blades. It makes for a wider ‘grippier’ handle.👍
Good to know, Matthew. I doesn't bother me either.
I haven't liked the Muskrat pattern because of the redundant blades. Nice handle shape though. And I love the Blue Mule pattern. Thanks TK!
Fair enough, DD. I held out for a while for the same reasons.

Let us know how it goes. The investment either way is pretty affordable.
The blue mule is incredible value for money, i have the sunfish & canoe, I have seen the toothpick somewhere but can't remember where.
These knives are very good value. I've tried to get the word out there.
I picked up the Blue Mule Sunfish, built like a tank. Or an actual sunfish, which can be huge!😱
They are chunk of a knife, it's a knife that takes some getting used to for carry. A type of knife that grew on me the more I used it.
nice have to check the series out.
A very basic, but well made series of knives. Thanks for stopping in Anthony.
Nice video man I don't own a muskrat I do have stockman and you are right I do most use the clip blade
That's the common thing to do, so why not a muskrat. Thanks 👍
No swedge is one of the attractive features for me, as with the satin non marring finish for edc.
The swedges have been put on everything RR. Probably a way to save a bit of steel as much as they've turned to it.
@@ThriftyKaniffy maybe, but imagine the savings are nullified by maintaining the equipment that grinds the swedge. I'm OK either way overall though
Thrifty do you mind if I ask where you got your knife storage tool box from ! Nice.

@@ThriftyKaniffy thx man.
Two blades can come in handy.
Double your pleasure, double your fun. Thanks Prop.

Hard to go wrong with a couple of clip point blades. Great RR series of knives.
