My only concern is that they are such good value that traditional American makers like Case (and your own Sheffield makers) are perhaps going to lose some business (so I make a point of buying lots from them as well!!!). (Posted on 24 September 2019)

What online knife sellers in the UK need to appreciate is that just because we have a dearth of retailers where we can examine a knife before we buy it, that doesn't mean it's OK to try it on by passing substandard examples to the mail-order customer, however good your returns policy may be.

I chose the white bone version of the Rough Rider Canoe (RRC) & I think it looks very stylish.
Expecting it would need sharpening, as lots of knives do when you get them, I prepared my sharpening kit but surprisingly didn’t need it; both blades were razor sharp & didn’t need any work.
The RRC was bigger than I expected but sits comfortably in the hand & I know will last me a long time.
With regards to Heinne & their delivery .....what can I say? I ordered the RRC at about 15:30hrs on the 30th November & it arrived at 09:50hrs on the 1st December & I’d only chosen the normal delivery option (cheapest of course). (Posted on 1 December 2018)

While it is true that a faulty or lacklustre pocket knife can be produced by any manufacturer, it has been my personal experience that the quality and consistency of Rough Rider models has been as good as any other make, and invariably at a fraction of the price of a comparable example.
The Smooth White Bone series, if anything, only improves on the quality. Comparing the one recently ordered from Heinnie’s to an earlier Brown Jigged Bone RR, the spring tension is improved, especially noticeable on the main spear blade, the polish on both blades is to a higher level, the action is smoother, and the bolsters have a nicer finish.
Adding to the old fashioned charm of the very popular Canoe pattern, the white bone scales have some small mottled areas of light brown, with a few dark flecks here and there. This variance is actually an attractive feature. At first glance, this classic pocket knife could easily be mistaken for an heirloom passed down through generations.
In terms of performance, the time tested design is comfortable and ergonomic in use and carry. The 440A steel sharpens easily, responds quickly to stropping, and offers excellent corrosion resistance. The size of blades are ideal for day to day tasks that one would normally expect of their pocket knife.
For someone coping with arthritis, the Canoe pattern is a sensible choice, for a traditional slipjoint; easier to operate and maintain, in my opinion, than many other patterns where the blades may be smaller or more difficult to open due to strong backsprings.
The Canoe pattern is UK friendly, and very easy on one’s pockets, with smooth contouring and minimal thickness. The weight is a nice blend of comfort and reassuringly hefty presence. Ideal for picnic duties or an apple when one fancies a quick snack. The comfortable handle design makes for a good whittler, too.
Overall, this white bone Canoe is one of my favourites from Rough Rider. It looks classy enough to suit fancy or formal occasions, and has the inherent dependable quality to serve any daily tasks within its capabilities. Very well recommended!
Service from HH was superb, as ever!

These make nice gifts as well. A nice classy alternative to the ever-popular SAK.
Main blade on mine has a soft back spring. Surprisingly common on a Canoe, from any maker. Not necessarily a bad thing because the main blade can easily, if not rapidly, be pinch-opened with one hand. If the average SAK main spear blade is a 3 out of 5 for pull strength, I rate my RR Canoe at a 2 for effort needed to open. Again, not a bad thing.
The RR Canoe. Get one, give one, be safe, have fun! (Posted on 1 July 2017)

A tiny bit of blade rub between the blades but I've seen that on blades from Case knives
also so not a problem
Really pleased with it

The new knife is nicely finished, although all the polishing seems to have been done after assembly. This has left some of the edges (of the springs for example) quite rough compared to, say, a SAK. The knife feels nicely weighty in the hand, the blades open and close smoothly and easily but the smaller one is lacking "snap" on opening.
That being said, I really like the knife and I think it represents excellent value for money. For those reasons it gets five stars. (Posted on 24 February 2015)

The Rough Rider Canoe is excellent. The perfect size, and not overly adorned with unnecessary tools and gadgets. It was razor sharp out of the box and easy to open.
But it is the sheer delight of holding a really simple, but incredibly beautiful green knife, which can transport this 52 year old back into the 60's where carrying a pocket knife was essential and not like attitudes today where law abiding people like my peers here can be criminalised for simply having a penknife, which some of us have carried for years.

Wanted an inexpensive, UK legal, pocket knife which would not raise eyebrows at work. What a pleasant surprise! Nicely finished, sharp straight from the box and looks far more expensive than it actually was. Strong competitor for the Swiss Army knife but not quite in the same league for build quality. All in all though, strongly recommended and an ideal gift with Christmas approaching. I'll definitely be buying one or two other models from the extensive range of Rough Rider knives.

I don't know how long this knife will last, but it looks and feels good for a few years use at least, and for that price I couldn't ask for more.

This was my first Roughrider. I like it a lot. Some of the scale ends stand a bit proud but I don't care about that.
The small blade has a good firm snap open and closed but the large blade isn't so strong, which is the only thing I would like to see being better.
All in all this is a great value for money knife and the blades sharpen up well.

- For the money rediculousReview by ben

My biggest criticism is that the blades don't open very smoothly they are very stiff all the way to open. There is no decisive snap when opening or closing these knives. To me it feels like the internals need a bit more polishing from the factory.
However, the blades do lock open and closed well and it takes pretty significant force to close them. So as a user I think this knife is great. For the money there is nothing even comes close. In terms of competition for this knife somthing like a Victorinox Spartan (which I bought at the same time as this knife) would probably be the closest thing, the Spartan is an all around better tool. The blades and mechanism are better but it does not look anywhere near as ornate as this knife and it is twice the price (ú18 at the time of writing). (Posted on 30 April 2013)

It arrived this morning (I ordered it yesterday 27/01/2012 at 1530 hours approx.), upon opening the box and seeing the knife I was delighted. It looks beautiful. Curious to know what the handle was made from I read the box only to find it is made from pearl dyed blue. The blades are nice and strong and you have to use a good amount of force to close the blades. It has a nice weight to it and feels fantastic.
I can't believe I was dubious about ordering a Rough Rider and I will definately be ordering more if the quality is like this and HH continue their amazing service!
Overall I'm a happy bunny and look forward to buying more Rough Rider knives in the future. (Posted on 28 January 2012)

I now have four dotted about and now dont edc anything else, use it nearly every day and for a number of months cutting everything from card to rigiduct and nylon rope, so far the only edge maintenance i have needed is just regular stropping Nuff said really.
Coupled with HH unwavering quality of service.
Buy it, try it, like it. (Posted on 5 February 2011)

I think that this knife is a small gem. Everything is made quite nice for the price. Nice steel, fits and fittings okay and a good snap when opening and closing.
Blade is sharp enough to accomplish many tasks, handles are well polished and very pleasant.
Surely the best deal since time.
And this knife worth minimum three times the price. Thanks Heinnie also for the great delivery service!
I will order again more Rough Riders for sure! (Posted on 24 November 2010)

I find my thumb pushes the small blade against the main one when opening, so they scratch each other slightly. The backspring is slightly stiffer than a Swiss Army Knife's, so perfectly practical, but I'd prefer it a bit stronger. Very minor criticisms given the value for money, so I give it 5/5.

Wanted a change from the old Swiss Army and wasn't expecting much for under a tenner. Surprised to say the least. Seems a well made, sturdy bit of kit. A bit or work on the edge maybe. Nice tight case and fit and it looks good. (Posted on 16 June 2009)
