Rough Ryder Old Yellow Large Stockman Folding Knife 18

I am pleased to have this knife in my collection. Be aware that the main blade is 8.2cm long - I do not think that it is therefore a legal carry in the UK - I do not think the law concerns the length of the cutting edge but the length of the "blade". Nicely put together. Only very slight fault is that when closed one can feel rather than see that there is a slight unevenness in the back springs - all smooth when the blades are opened. Doesn't affect the practicality of the knife but thought others should know, Tight fit - very slight gaps can only be seen by holding the knife up to the light. No bad blade rub - particularly if one guides the blades closed rather than snapping them. Am I pleased with this stylish retro knife? Yes

This is a really practical knife. I like the stockman design, and have several from Case, Old Timer etc. This one is probably the most knife for the money out of all of them. It is a great user knife, it looks and feels nice and is easy to keep sharp. There is no blade rub or other issues,that often affect the stockman (not just the budget ones). This one spends a lot of time in my pocket.

This particular Rough Ryder looks and feels good The main blade is a bit longer than three inches in total! Mostly fine but the scales don’t meet the main body at one end leaving a visible gap.,hence only 3 stars

For only £15 this is a true bargain & Any adverse comment would be churlish. You can pay much more for other colours but it's still the same knife. You can also pay more for a more prestige brand name but most of those are also made in China so why bother - unless you are an avid collector with deep pockets. I was slightly disappointed that the blade I use most is the one that's bent to fit between the other 2 but at least it does pare/scoop in the right direction for a right hander but southpaws might struggle. This is a great, traditional pocket knife that my grandad would recognize & is well made & finished. The box was a tight fit, though!

Slightly sharp on couple of edges...no big deal OK after 2 minute fine emery..other wise great knife with very sharp blades..

HH as usual gave no problems whatsoever. A brilliant retailer. I'm a big fan of RR. At first I thought that this knife was middle of the road. It is an older model with no half stops, which is fine, a bit of fit and finish issues, but not too bad and a some minor blade rub which is hard to avoid at this price point. The pull is soft on this one, but I've heard that some in this series have incredibly hard pulls. I think that RR quality control was inconsistent when these were made. It's redeeming features are the colour, which is a very nostalgic yellow, and the blades. They are all substantial - not thick, but deep. The main has a 2¾" cutting edge, which is UK legal. I love the Sheepsfoot, which is substantial. Most of all I was surprised at the edge on all blades. It's my sharpest knife out of the box! If you can overlook some minor imperfections this is a cracking old school Stockman!

Lovely traditional knife. Has a reasonably sharp edge and looks nice. Great for everyday tasks.

Amazing. I don't know how RR produce knives of this quality for the price. The sharpness of the blade is up there with my Case and Buck pocket knives at about a quarter of the price.
