- I this video we compare Case to Rough Ryder. I remain a USA first kind of guy, but it is really hard as I am also a "get the most for your money" kind of guy. My apologies, I kind of went into the Rough Ryder more than I meant too.

HANDLE
Red Synthetic
Our Smooth Red Synthetic handle is rugged and ready to make a bold statement for the American Workman.
BLADES
Clip
The Clip blade is extremely versatile - just the thing for those everyday tasks at work or around the house. With a sharp point for piercing, the shape allows for better control of the cutting edge.
Sheepfoot
The Sheepfoot blade features a straight edge and a curved back, allowing for greater tip strength
and control of the cutting edge with your fingers. Originally designed for trimming sheep’s hooves, this blade is ideal for carving and carpentry work.
Spey
The Spey blade was a vital tool for farmers and ranchers who would use it when castrating livestock. Also a favored tool for skinning game, this all-purpose blade shape is found in many popular knife patterns such as the Trapper.

About:
Sporting its vibrant red synthetic handle; Our American Workman CS is equally adept in the hands of men and women on the job. Lightweight for easy carry and tough enough to get through the work day, the American Workman CS knives feature razor sharp carbon steel blades and our patriotic stars and stripes shield. This Large Stockman is a traditional three-bladed multi-purpose pocket knife. The Clip and Sheepfoot blade sit on the pocket end while the Spey blade sits on the cap end. The Clip blade is commonly used as a multi-purpose blade and preferred for detail work. The Sheepfoot blade allows for added strength at the point making it great for carving and achieving a clean cut. The Spey blade is commonly used as an all-purpose utility blade. This knife is fitted with high carbon steel blades known for their high tensile strength, wear resistance, and toughness. Many prefer this steel for its edge retention and ease of re-sharpening. Since these are not stainless steel blades, a thin coat of oil applied on them after each use can help maintain their original finish. Comes conveniently packaged in a box. Made in Bradford, PA, USA from domestic and imported materials.
Bowl-finished 1095 carbon steel blades
Clip, Sheepfoot, and Spey blades

The CASE wins all day every day for me. Can't beat USA Steel and the men and women who we support that work in the factory!! Thanks for sharing this!!
Thanks for checking out the video and commenting J. I understand about supporting the American and gave some thought to your comment. My thoughts are, if you are an American and you NEED a knife, buy American, no matter the cost.
Me and people like me, are just buying knives we don't need, but rather we want and yes, sending money overseas to fill our "fix" for the next new thing. Maybe we should pause and think on that next time we fill our carts?
I won't write off Chinese knives, but I have switched to buying lots of USA made knives. A lot of new, but a lot of used ones too. I have found some Camillus, Schrade, Queen and and others from the past, that exceed today's knives in almost every way.
So, with that said, someone, (company, manager or worker) needs to start acting like China is breathing down our necks when it comes to build quality, because they are.
Good comparison 😊
Thanks Michael. I respect and appreciate your opinion on these matters
Rough Ryder please.
As far as value goes, it's hard to beat the Rough Ryder. IMO, it can compete with the Case, but I have not tested it like @LegionTacticoolCutlery
I love Rough Ryder knives but I have to say the Micarta on the Classic carbon II reminds me of a car tire that is so bald that the cords are showing🙂 Just cant get past it. I would like SMKW to give us more Carbon steel Knife choices, and more carbon steel Knives with Bone Handles. Great Video, Thankyou.
I understand where you are coming from. I think because of the budget price on RR's they have to use budget micarta. Just a thought. I do agree, it is a bit slick looking and I like my micarta with a bit more texture.
I would choose the Case. Both are good but the bent blade on the RR i am not a fan of that design, i like my blades staight. But the RR is way better value.. Great video buddy 😎👍
Thanks JP. There is something about the Case Large Stockman. I can't define it, but they have a bit of magic
I kind of like the RR a bit more honestly.
I appreciate honesty and I understand why people would like the RR better. It's a good knife, it really is.
On a knife that size, I prefer a stronger pull and action. Rough Ryder seems to do a better job at delivering that. For me it's a bit of a toss up, but in terms of sheer value, the Rough Ryder is a better choice. In terms of subjective intangibles, the Case wins because it has sentiments of fealty and history, which is no small thing either. Plus I kinda like Case's red (also black) synthetic covers. Super smooth feel, but a more matte reflexion compared to yellow.
I agree. Rough Ryder is a better buy. I like my Case in carbon steel and Delrin for using though.
Well....CASE Tru-Sharp is just 420HC, and the Rough Ryder classic's are T-10 Carbon.
I own something like 20 of each.
If I had $10 for a knife, Id buy a Rough Ryder and never cry about it.
Side by side, and in hand the Rough Ryder is a wonderful knife.
I find the blade stock is generally thicker then average with the RR CC II series. In the case of the Canoe, the knife itself is wider then their typical canoe. The thicker blade stock (which you can see at the tang when the Case and the RR are side-by-side) may have lead them to grind the blades thinner to accommodate the pattern. With the example you have, it looks like maybe they didn't really need to do so. Both great looking knives though. THanks.
Thanks for sharing your experience and yes, I agree, the Carbon Classic RR's do seem to have thicker blade stock. Which leads to a thicker handle, but I like them too.
fourteenth done !Awesome content shared stay connected new supporter friend here :)
