Rough Ryder Drop Point Hunter 18

I have purchased a number of Rough Rider knives now and have only been disappointed with one but the Drop Point Hunter certainly isn't it. The finish is excellent and the almost iridescent burr scales are lovely. This knife goes to prove that cheap Chinese products do not always equate with poor quality - for the price the quality is fab. I have no problems with the sheath either- it does what it is designed to do; what more do you want for £11.95p. Well done!

Ordered this on a whim and wasnt expecting much but have to say pretty impressed! Fit and finish is very good on mine and it came pretty sharp.Not as sharp as I would like but quick sharpen soon sorted that.Cant knock it for the price but have to say the sheath is pretty mediocre at best. Usual impeccable service from HH.

Bought as a side gift for someone, happy with the quality of the knife, for the price. Agree with some previous reviews, not too sharp out the box, but nothing a simple sharpening block doesn't sort. Hope it engraves well! As always, received quickly!

got this out of curiosity when it arrived it was sharp a couple of strops later it was really sharp. You just cant miss this knife at this price.

Bought this knife because I wanted something more "traditional" than a Mora Companion while still being affordable. Quality wise, it does leaves room for improvement. My main critique was the edge grind it came with - it was simply appalling. The bevel must have been approaching 35 degrees on both sides. With half an hours work using a Lansky I took that down to 25 degrees on each side and now it cuts well. It sharpens to a razor edge if you put the effort in and will easily take the hair off your arm, but I don't think the steel is high enough quality for it to last a long time. Secondly, the scales on the handle could fit better and aren't as rounded as I'd like. Like some people have mentioned, the sheath that it comes with is cheap but functional. On the positive side, the knife is nicely contoured and the handle scales are made from an attractive burl. It also uses full tang construction, so could probably stand up to more demanding tasks like batoning. The blade does thin out considerably towards the tip though, so you should probably avoid striking it there. Taking all the above into account, you can't really ask for much more at the price point. I knew it wouldn't be perfect when I bought it. For what I paid (£12), I'd definitely recommend it to others after a quick warning about the clean up work it'll likely need. Superb service from Heinnie. The knife arrived within a day or so of confirmation.

A good solid knife priced to be used & abused . Still amazed at how quick HH get your order out, thanks : )

First off I'd like to say I don't think I've ever had better service from an online supplier. Delivery cost £2 and I ordered before 3pm on a Friday and it was here early Saturday. Doesn't get better than that in my opinion. Now about the night does come with a reasonably sharp edge out the box but if you want it razor sharp it will need a little attention. The quality of the finish was impressive. Very smooth handle and no rough edges between the handles and the tang. Would definitely recommend this as a handy back up for a camping pack or back up to a pocket folder. Will definitely buy Rough Rider again and will most definitely be buying from Heinnie Haynes again!

Attractive alternative to a mora . Needed a sharpen on arrival , but then plenty sharp enough . Sheath very basic but works

Beginning with the price £12.00, what can you expect for that today. Looks good, fit and finish most acceptable, timber handle very pleasing, sheath made down to a budget, stainless steel blade !!!!!!!!! a problem. Up until then every thing was doing fine but the blade is a generic stainless steel, as soon as I began to sharpen this the deposit on my White ceramic sharpening rod gave everything away. Once sharp it did not take long to lose the edge, a soft blade knife is limited in what you can use it for, a real pity given so many aspects of this knife are positive. I would pay the extra money to see these knives with a better grade of blade steel. A special thanks to HH for resolving an issue with Mr Postman, Re ordered Friday, arrived Saturday, fantastic service
