If you’re into beefy fixed blades, the Rough Rider is a great starting point. Weighing nearly a pound and measuring almost 10 inches long, it’s got plenty of size to help you cut rope, skin animals, chop wood, and much more Read More
RoughtrickbillI really hate that saying, what the heck is it even supposed to mean? I expect to get exactly what I pay for when I buy a knife or anything else.
Or are you implying this knife isn't worth $23? Do you own one? Ever even held one? If you think this knife is overpriced for what it is then please fill us all in on why, but don't just imply it's crap because it's not more expensive. That's silly.
Big, cool looking knife. Generic, budget 440A stainless steel is fairly tough and wear resistant so it can stand up to a good amount of use, especially with that full tang. The trade off is 440A is not as hard as some other steels and tends to dull faster. Remember, the harder the steel the longer it holds an edge, but that makes it harder to sharpen and more prone to chipping or breaking under rough use. Harder steel is great in a pocket knife, but you want a bit softer and tougher steel in a big ol' knife like this one. Should be easy to sharpen though and take a good edge. Even though it's "stainless" it will still need to be kept clean, oiled and sharpened on occasion.
My experience with Rough Rider knives is they are good values for what they are, but don't expect superb fit and finish. It's a budget knife after all, but not junk. If price drops to $22.99 + $3.95 shipping, you will save a buck and change over buying it at Smokey Mountain Knife Works.
