Rough Rider Canoe High Carbon RR1571

I have been back and forth on these knives. I saw several videos and reviews from Smoky Mountain Knife Works. Shave sharp out of the box, a tight open that will be broken in over time. This is my first high carbon canoe knife and it appears to be an excellent beginner. I have passed it around to my knife enthusiast friends. All have commented on the feel of quality heft, sharpness, and tight open (especially on the small blade).

Excelente producto,y muy cumplidos

I've been carving in the round now for about 6 months +. I bought this little cake knife and I love it...

Hand-made, lifetime guarantee by an American company, Smoky Mountain Knife Works who makes this knife in China. I watched many videos on rough rider knives and all had good things to say. They have been around for years. This knife design is very handy and the knife is solidly built however don't expect absolute perfection because there may be a tiny space between the handle pieces. But it's minor. The thing is this is a knife I actually use instead of buying an expensive knife that sits in a drawer. I have about 75 knives from Victorinox, Spyderco, Coldsteel, Benchmade, Buck.... but this is my everyday do everything knife and I ordered a second one in a different handle and it's in my pocket as I write this. And like I said all my other knives sit in a plastic box.

This was even better than I expected. Blade are 2.5 and 2.0 inches long. Sharp right out of the box. No wiggle to the blades. They have a good snap to open and great hold for a slip joint. They are easy to open. I love the style of blade. This knife has a good weight to it and is even a little thicker than most pocket knives. Will become my EDC. LOVE IT. highly recommend.

Very good knife. I will use for whittling and wood carving, also general carry and for fishing. Versatile well made blades. Great seller, with quick response when contacted. I will buy from seller again in future.

Great Everyday Carry Knife. I go everywhere with it. It comes sharp but if you want to do Whittling you need to work on the Strop a bit to get it sharp enough for wood.

Form and fit are great, blades are very sharp and edges show no grind marks. The back spring on the small blade is very stiff, need caution in closing; the large blade spring is just right. Overall I'm delighted with this knife's appearance and performance. Update: After a few months of daily carry and use the knife has developed issues. The scales are lifting at the bolsters creating sharp edges, a crack has developed on one scale at one of the rivets and the back springs are separating along the seam creating a gap I can see daylight through. The only good thing left is the steel used for the blades, takes and holds a good edge. Lowered my rating to 2 stars and I don't recommend purchasing this knife.
