Bought a bunch of Rough Rider knives a while back. I'm working on full reviews on all of them.
Here's the conclusion of the first one and a few pics:

Overall Score: 7,86
For the price this type of knife is excellent. They look great, the price is excellent and the fit and finish is decent, close to good. It came in a nice presentation box and is simply begging to be given as a gift.
They will not impress someone who's made knives their hobby on quality alone however. The finish is lacking in the finer details and the steel used on the blades is mediocre (a lot of knife hobbyists would even regard it as poor). For someone who's looking for a casual user however, or a stocking stuffer (or shoe filler if you celebrate sinterklaas) I heartily recommend these. They've certainly impressed some of my friends who aren't as "into knives" as I am.
