Comment by Tobias Gibson on January 4, 2013 at 19:16: As I said the Toad Stickers are not the best judge of Rough Riders. As for quality guarentee, the best you'll find is SMKW. If you bought these from them, they'd send you a replacement free of charge and because the back and forth shipping would be more than the knife is worth, they'd just tell you to dispose of the bad knife however you choose.

Comment by Brad T. on January 4, 2013 at 17:37: All 3 of the Toad Stickers are here, Blue/black swirl, Midnight blue swirl & Smooth White bone.

The Cell handled ones have hard snap and zero blade play. The Bone has snap, but not as crisp and there is a little wobble. I don't know if this is due to the extra care during assembly, but it doesn't affect the way I intend to use them. I look forward to the Tortoise cell knives now.

I did find that the middle knife's tip was bent on arrival. If the seller does not remedy this issue i will file a claim with ebay and place a warning on every forum i peruse.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on January 3, 2013 at 18:40: They also made the "Clasp" in tortoise!

Comment by Tobias Gibson on January 3, 2013 at 18:05: Not sure about the congress. I like a fat congress but RR tends to make skinny ones. I really like their large Sodbuster, however. The Tortoise Soddy is really nice.

Comment by Brad T. on January 3, 2013 at 17:46: Got the Tortoise Sodbuster and while I was at it, got a Lg Tortoise Congress too. $24.00 shipped. Be here next week.
