JD. i mean no disrespect, but read my post. I didn't mention the word "junk or crap" someone else did. I also exposed my source for seeing procuction knives first hand. I don't buy things that I don't want so that I can take pictures of them to post on Internet Sites. I know of only a few that do so.

non taken,but what you did exactly say was ptetty much junk,or crap.And your subtle way of saying yours is better pretty
much helps me to understand your way of thinking.....You don't have to post pictures,that's up to you....but until i see
proof I am just going to think that maybe your just full of yourself......or hot air....I really mean no disrespect,but what are
you really trying to say???
I think we all deserve to see at least one of these plastic scaled,simulated bone handled Rough Riders you have.....
I think it's a shame for me,or anyone to have to pay $80.00 for a knife just because it's made in my Country....
I am proud to be an American,and from the South........But I am not proud of how I have to struggle and save up just
to be able to purchase a U.S.made pocket knife so people like you won't stand back and make your snide remarks about
how cheap looking,and how it doesn't perform up to the standards of your knife....
And though I am not happy to say this.....I have lots of U.S. made knives that don't impress me anymore than my cheap
China made knives.....That doesn't say much for quality control in America now does it?
Several of your above remarks I really don't understand,but then i didn't go to college.....maybe that's why?probably not....
I really am not trying to be mean to you,or anyone....I just don't see any good from your first post....If you don't actually have any RR knives,how can you even make a comment like that?
I do appoligize if I done anything wrong,but I live in a house full of things made in other countries....But heaven forbid I
buy a pocket knife that wasn't made in the USA........It's probably the worst a man can do,or so it seems.....LOL
(My experience with Rough Rider knives and their equal hasn't been good. The scales are simulated plastic and the overall feel of the knives is like "pressed into shape beer cans". What is usually considered as "Pulls" are a meager attempt to re-create a functional notch to open the poorly designed, disfigured blade by slamming a slightly harder tool into sub standard steel. The blades remind me of pewter. The producers have been able to manufacture them with less slop so that the working parts of the knife have the ability to appear tight when new but rub themselve raw if you should actually use one for a while, The scales, the simulated plastic, bone, whatever, will curl and come apart when exposed to the real world. You know, horrible things like sunlight, sweat and work. I am sure they do well in the confines of a nice little bed of cotton in someones drawer that would do well for your neighbors cat or antique photos of Aunt Mable. I recommend buying these knives for gifts that you send to people you really don't want to hear from again or are amused by cheap shiny objects that blend with your collection of ceramic chipmunks. I have a bucket load of Pakistani knives from the '80's that have held up better than the current crop of imports and do a good job of cutting bermuda grass and red dirt. I find no reason to oooh and aaah about sub-standard knives no matter how cheaply they were had but, do what you will. Personally, I have no tolerance for cheap , substandard re-creations. My 2 bucks worth.

I did read it again,still don't understand it...If you don't own any,how can you comment??
Just can't beat the price and they have a mind boggling variety of patterns, all of nice quality. I picture workers from the factory that make these use them in everyday life. Cutlery- spreading American traditions one country at a time!
