Rough Rider Knives: Long-term use reports?

[MG_Saldivar]

Has anyone owned and used a Rough Rider brand knife over the long-term (i.e., several months or more)?

I've found a few threads on Rough Riders in the Forums, but most deal with initial impressions of fit/finish. Given their low price points, I wouldn't expect them to stand up over the long haul, but for gentle use (say, in an office setting) or even for hard use for a short period, I'd hope that they hold up for a little while. Even for $10 or so, I'd like a knife to not explode right out of the box!

I just picked up a couple of Remington Rimfires and they look identical to the small Rough Rider lockback (as does the Remington MOP lockback). I haven't done exact measurements, but one would think they all come out of the same factory in China.

New thing with the Remington Rimfires......the box is marked 440C rather than just 440.

I'm afraid I can't help you with the long term use question, though.....I still haven't had a chance to carry my original Rough Rider much.

I've got too many knives and have been pretty busy lately with other things.

And frankly......99% of the time I reach for my SAK without thinking and get the job done.
