Jake you say: "The faults are there."
For the most part are these really "faults" or an acceptable variation in tolerances ? A "fault" is something that would impair function to some degree or if cosmetic, something that makes it look downright ugly.
There are 3 things i greatly appreciate about Rough Rider traditional style folders:
1) they cut very well and the steel does hold up well, every bit as well as Case, Tru-Sharp or CV. And they function well as far as pull strength, walk/talk, and do not easily get 'knocked off' the fully open position. i.e. they are great user knives.
2) reliable quality. The quality i describe above is true for every one of the ~ 250 RR's i own. I have no other knife brand that is this consistent.
3) i get just as strong a pleasurable feeling from opening up a new RR or from using an RR that i get from a GEC or one of my many Custom folders. Like, for $10 i'm having as much fun as for $500. It's cheap thrills man. As a knife addict, i love it.
