For my own political reasons, I had decided some years ago to not buy items that were made in China. Then, against my own self placed restrictions, I did wind up adding some Chinese made folding & fixed blade knives into my collection. While I am back to no longer buying China made products, wherever possible, I do have some specimens of Rough Riders, Marbles, and Colt traditional folders in my collection now. They can be hit or miss, as with so many brands from anywhere in this world, but I have to admit that they can sure assemble a decent knife, especially considering their low prices.
I have two RR pocket knives in their brown colored sawcut bone, (one a Trapper, the other a Canoe), which are both really nicely put together, and look pretty fantastic. I actually like the matchstrikes on them. I have the matchstrikes on a MOP & Abalone scaled USA made Queen brand knife, and find it classy. But, that's just me. I know that such things are just personal to each individual.
Again, while I have not purchased a RR in a couple/few years, the ones I do have, fit nicely as representatives of their brand within my collection.
