RoseCraft Knives

Thanks, after getting the beaver creek barlow I have been thinking about an Appalachian Jack. The seconds sale sealed the deal.
 
This just came today from my favorite purveyor of fine pocket knives and collectables!

The French broad jack is awesome! Yes... it is very very red, but it's a really nice change and beautifully dyed showing depth and color.

The knife is flawless! No gaps, perfectly flush in three positions and polished inside and out. It just has incredible fit and finish. Slightly above average pull, firm, tight and perfectly smooth. The edge is ground very nicely and it is stupid sharp.

It's outstanding. You couldn't ask for more (except color options, black would be nice or maybe burnt orange😁)

Dare i say it, BUT, :rolleyes: one day into the future people may look back and say " Remember When These Sat On The Shelves For Ages And You Could Take Your Time To Purchase One ". Just a thought for the day. 🤪:);).

You may be right sir... I'm certainly not a knife connoisseur but can't imagine a new production knife getting much better (in terms of fit and finish) than this. Add in the neat, out of the box designs and D2 steel .. it's a winner for sure.

The apple jack showed up today and other than some minor scratches on the shield there is nothing wrong that I can see. The blade shape, nail nick and swedge arrangement is pure art.
 
Haven't pulled the trigger on a RoseCraft yet.

Need to get around to it, some of these are really stellar looking. That orange has some real pop to it.

They’ve had a seconds sale happening for a couple of weeks now. Most models are sold out.

Fit and finish is excellent, blade centered perfectly and edge bevels ground evenly with a mighty pointy point!

Gary, I’ve been hemming and hawing about getting one of these but your post pushed me over the edge. I’ve already have the barlow and kayak and they are both impressive. I’ll be posting pics next week. Oh yeah, my wife has a bone to pick with you 😜.

I have an Awanata. Its a little cutting machine. Strong pull and half-stop. F&F and W&T are solid. Very comfortable D-2 2" blade. Green scales show nice striations in hand. Photo not so much. Great buy for me. Nail nick end on blade tip side is a bit sharp. Only con I found.

I also have the Awanta, in red. Agree that is has a serious pull and good half stop. I did have to smooth down the edge of the nail nick as it was so sharp it created an abrasion on my finger. Just used a medium, then fine sharpmaker stick and good to go.
