RoseCraft Knives

Love it!

I've been busy with other off-line life stuff and haven't been posting much on any web forums.

Speaking only for myself...

I like RoseCraft, and I wish them success.

Even though I like the pattern and handle materials, I don't like the knives that have been released with excessively strong pulls/ gator snap. As I've aged I've started having issues with thumbnail strength and too strong of a pull is a recipe for damaged thumbnail.

RC seems to be approaching the GEC level recently, I loathe having to know where and when a drop is to occur, and then have to ensure I'm Johnny-on-the-spot in order to have a chance at getting one or have to scour the web looking for a remaining copy.

Just like GEC, I'm not going to jump through hoops to try and snag a knife I'd like. I really do not enjoy that.

As for the gator snap strong opening pull knives I have, they'll likely be moved on to someone else when I get around to culling my collection.

edit for clarification

Which models have the gator snap? I would prefer to avoid them.

It seems the last run or 2 is getting a litle easier to open.. :)
John :cool:
 
I just wish they had proper kicks instead of stop pins and varied the thickness of their blade stock for different applications. Some of their smaller blades are far too thick!

I have their teardrop, coffin jack, sowbelly, and the nolichucky jack. Great knives, well made and great grinds, but each time I’m tempted by a new one I remember how thick the blades are.

I probably shouldn't have used the term "gator snap", as the closing action really isn't a big problem it's the strong opening pull (for me). Previous post edited for clarity.

The patterns I personally have problems with the potential to chip/ split my thumbnail are the Zambezi and Lanny Clips. The Teardrop, Sowbelly and French Broad are also a strong pull, but not as bad, and I can pinch the French Broad blade as it has enough surface available. I also have problems with the pull on the Peanuts, I think it's mostly due to the smaller size.
