Rough Ryder APTA Folder Micarta Folding Knife Reviews

4.4 Rating 7 Reviews

APTA from Rough Rider - Modern Slip Joint Knives.
If you like a classically styled, non-locking UK carry folder at a pretty decent price then the APTA folder with a tough micarta handle is definitely for you! It has a real presence in your pocket and your hand.
The blade of the Rough Rider APTA Folder Micarta is made from VG10 stainless steel and ultra sharp out-of-the-box. A lanyard hole in the handle will allow you to make the knife your own.

“As with a previous review the scales came loose on one side after 3 days and had to be glued back on, it didn't arrive particularly sharp but didn't take too much effort to get it sharp enough to slice the heinnie reciept, also has a bit of blade wobble but if the pivot screw is tightened it pinches the back spring so then it won't hold the blade open properly, you get what you pay for it's a decent blade and handle but not perfect”

“Some Rough Ryder knives are a real bargain, where as this one is just priced correctly. It looks like a nice knife, but it isn't built that way. The scales are held on by one screw in the handle and at the bolster end, they are just glued. And they come loose. I took this apart to fix and discovered it is a bit rough round the edges inside. However now it is fixed (yes Heinnie would have replaced it I'm sure, but if you don't tinker you don't learn) I find that the stout wharncliffe blade to be really useful, a good DIY knife - for when you need one to be EDC,. Because I don't love this knife, it gets a lot of dirty jobs. but it handles them well. At least now that I have reinforced the scales.”

“I've owned a lot of wharncliffe pocket knives and worn out a few.. been looking for a new one for a while, and tried the RR Blue micarta- pretty, but the blade form doesn't allow a reliable pinch... This is a delight, the nail nick gives a bit of extra grip, don't have to look at it to open the very useful blade, scalpel sharp out of the box, using the point to cut card templates.. well constructed and unfussy, it feels good in the hand, and the deep blade has enough heft for harder jobs in the garden or workshop. Not sure if the finish on the bolsters will last? (micro scratch on arrival) but the robust construction makes this the companion I wanted. Simple but elegant contemporary take on a classic, form and function making a perfect work tool.(thanks for the zip pouch, perfect for camera memory cards! who keeps their knife in it?)”
