I bought a Rosewood Alpha Hunter Folder over the weekend and can't say enough good things about it.
The quality is exceptional; overall it's just a wonderful product,even the leather belt sheath is top shelf.
The only question I have is regarding the overall finish of the stainless steel. All the steel surfaces including the blade have a "mottled" appearance. Almost like its water stained. Is this the same as a "tumbled" finish? The rubber handled version I saw in the 420 steel appeared to have more of a mirror finish.
Also this knife would look great with more handle options , like maybe stag or bone in the ATS-34 version and carbon fiber or G10 in the 420 version. If Buck offered the 420 version in G10 or carbon fiber, I'd probably buy another one.
Still it's a great knife....
