I only found out about RRs last summer, but I've probably bought 16 or 17 since then. Very impressive bang for the buck. I've told several store owners about them, so maybe we'll have a local option here someday. Below are a few of my RRs.

A good assortment there truck. Who knows, many decades from now maybe RRs will be sought out by collectors like early U.S. Shrades and other U.S. companies are today.

My fascination with Rough Rider knives began in 2007. By 2010 i had around 200 ! Every one was from ebay and back then all were under $10, and every one was a good knife, no issues and every blade super sharp.
I still have all these RR's and have added quite a few more recent releases.
Another surprise is that i get as much enjoyment from owning/handling these very inexpensive knives as i do from owning/handling my much more expensive collections like GEC or vintage Henckels, etc.

I have a hard time saying no to a knife pattern that I like and is well made and costs $15 or less. Looks like I am not alone!

Hardly. That's why I ended up with so many Camillus 14s. (and am sooo tempted to buy more)

You know, Jerry, that there is a school of thought that a man cannot have too many knives in a pattern that he likes. Heck, is having $15 more dollars in your savings account as satisfying as holding a Camillus 14 in your hand?

Nice knives bighomer. I especially like the first picture with the 'pinkies' on the left.
These are good knives and impossible to not like them; if you like knives then you will like Rough Riders.

I Like a Rough Rider. Got a few. Here are some Barlows, Congress.
As far as knifes go , most are very good. Especially for the cost.
