Congrats, Mitch and way to go, Bob!

As I have both A. Wright and Rosecraft Senators, and know you do too, I'm interested in your thoughts on a comparison of the two! Personally, I feel like the blade shape on the Rosecraft is more in line with what I think of when I think "lambfoot" than the A. Wright - crazy, I know!!

I too have both. I will get booed, but I like the build and looks of the rosecraft better. Hard to argue with price/ quality.

You'll get no "boos" from down here! Your thoughts align with mine exactly!

......would imagine there's possibly a few gulps and looks of consternation from the workshops in/around Sheffield

I'll have to carry the rosecraft for awhile to truly compare.
Rosecraft is better value for money. I have 2 senators, stag and snakewood, haven't come across a stag senator for sale but have the snakewood.
stag rosecraft, $175AUD

snakewood senator, $289.95AUD does include shipping.
of course neither of these Aussie sites have any in stock.

I have my first Sheffield arriving today and if hadn’t found it a very low price, I was leaning toward the senator.
Thoughts on stag vs Rosewood?

For me, stag - if I can see the exact knife I'm going to be purchasing first... or if I'm feeling lucky (I'm rarely feeling lucky ). Barring being able to see the knife first, I'd likely go with rosewood - the safe bet.

- enjoy your Sheffield slippie, they are knives of great character.

Suggest birdsbeaks talks much sense. There are some wild and varied examples of Stag, some very plain. Rosewood has more consistency in what it offers..............sadly though, there's too much of being illegally plundered around the world

I should remind all that this shipping snafu was my fault- not blaming Rosecraft.

Funny I had the notion these were made in USA. China explains the price point.

They may come from China, but they're giving three out of the five extant American traditional knife manufacturers (that I can think of off the top of my head) a run for their money!
