Rough Rider Synthstone Gunstock slipjoint

[LX_Emergency]

And here's the second of my recently bought Rough Rider slipjoints: a Gunstock in Synthstone Malachite. Conclusion and a couple of pictures:

Overall Score: 8,29
This is a slipjoint with good build, decent (not great materials), nice design at less than 1/4th of the price of the Queen Cutlery slipjoint that I bought. The only differences between the two being:

The Queen cost me $76 including shipping the RR $16 (RR wins by a landslide)
The Queen came dull the RR pretty sharp (RR wins but by little since I don't consider a dull blade a problem, I just sharpen it)
The Queen has slightly better Fit&Finish (Queen wins but not by much)
The Queen uses D2 steel and the RR 440A (Queen wins by a margin)
In my scorecount that's two points for Queen and two for Rough Rider. All considering: if you value Fit and finish and used steel above all else, buy a Queen Gunstock (or maybe a case or other brand, I can't comment on that since so far my only experiences have been with Queen and RR).

If you value a sharp blade right out of the box and don't have a lot to spend. I can heartily recommend these.
