Another great one
The root wood scales are very attractive and look better after a coat of oil or wax. Lovely little well finished knife and pocket friendly. Another winner from RR.

This is my second RR in as many weeks I have added to my EDC pocket knife collection. I love the traditional look of the wooden handles - very elegant. I don't have huge hands but its more of a usable size than the peanut model. Probably would get something larger for heavy duty work though. Nice to have the 3 blades styles however I'm unclear which is best for what situation yet. I currently use a larger Sheffield lambfoot as it good for food. I turn the blade upside down for butter. For the money I'm giving it five stars, even though its got a couple of minor quality issues. One backspring sticks up a little in the closed position and the blades sometimes scratch against each other. Blades out of the box were not razor sharp but a tickle with the Lansky turn box improved things greatly. Looking forward to receiving a couple of other RR's in the post in the next couple of days. At their low cost and good quality you can afford to collect a few an decide which you like best. If you can't decide like me just rotate!
A little beauty, and practical too.
I didn't think quality like this was possible at anywhere near this price. Fit and finish is 10/10 - the burls in the wood catch the light at different angles, almost like tiger's eye stone. The scales have slightly differing patterns either side The backsprings are nicely weighted and are precisely aligned with the brass liners - honestly, this looks like an expensive little knife. I have American slipjoints (of which these Rough Riders are imitations) which are put to shame by this, and were 10-15 times the price. I'm no fan of '440' (presumably 440A) steel, but all three blades came as sharp as you could want and with even bevelling - the Heinnie invoice was mercilessly sliced asunder in seconds! Add one on to your Heinnie order, I don't know how anyone could be disappointed by this. Mine has replaced various Spydercos as my watch-pocket knife, it's that nice to use.
These Rough Rider knives are very good value for money but aside from that you get a really well made knife. The wood scales on mine fit perfectly and polish up nicely with a bit of Renaissance Wax to seal the grain.
