You are very very huge acknowledgment when it comes to slip-joints… your now my number 1 guy to go too for reviews on em (slip-joints).

Did you end up keeping this knife or getting rid of it?

I'll have to wait a while since it's too close to Christmas. It's a stunner.

I love my yellow. It's much lighter colored than yours. I'm glad the China sticker peels off.

I just discovered your channel. I'm a traditional freak who likes modern slipjoints, too. I am highly pleased with my Peacemaker.

My burl had a bit of gapping. Perhaps shrinkage due to humidity or similar. Love the design and the burl is cool, but didnt expect to see as much gapping at the price point. I understand that natural materials yield variance though too.

you said the wood handled one is synthetic? i thought it was real wood

Logan, to me the wood was really dry when I got mine. (Number 1 retail buyer in their shop 😂) I took it straight home and soaked that burl in orange beeswax oil twice and it soaked it all up both times. It darkened the wood about 5 shades and really brought out my gnarly pattern. So far no issues with shrinkage or warping. I really enjoy mine.

I was interested in one, but i passed because it just looks modern. If they come out with a whittler or a stockman im jumping on it.

I like watching your videos because I appreciate that you discuss the history and minutia of knife patterns, such as the Barlow. In fact, when you did the video on the newest iteration of the Big Bro Jack, I ended up buying one to replace the previous version of the Big Bro Jack because I wanted a legit Barlow.

Would be nice if you could swap the clip to the other side, otherwise lefties have to pull it out and then rotate it before putting it on their index finger.

Kore ccw belts are very legit and selection is outstanding.

ontario 1.5 in magnacut now, and 1 and 2 in sv35

I do wish jwk would do a run in m4, rex 45 or 52100 so you could get a patina if you wanted to.

Ring knives were WW2 aliant agent's tool to cut tires in German nazi vehicles. Fred Perrin made bunch of them. But new is idea of making it folder.

Thx for review 😊

Interesting design. Ostap seems to be thinking outside the box again.

Man leatherman needs to bring back and upgrade the juice

Cry us a river MG! Fits my hand the same as your and its fine. Why do all the knife channels cry about the littlest things

its made in china? nahh

I hope they start to sell the yonder at walmart.

u mudt be a brain surgeon with the price differences.and w the budget otf line ups offered some work great some are duds

I really love the federalist I picked one up on clearance at 40 bucks new in box. That's a hell of a well build knife for 40 bucks, at the normal price I would probably pass as it isn't really my style of knife as I don't care to much for double detent type knives but I still think id's a fair value at its normal street price. The geometry is solid, the Cpm154 is done pretty fairly and the performance pretty decent. I'm not that much of a fan of cpm154 as it just gets a little slick even at 600 grit and even at lower grits it still gets a little slick with use fairly quickly. Personally I prefer 154cm over it's crucible brother, I think it maintains its micro serrations better than it's particle metallurgy bro. With that said you do get a good toughness boost with Cpm154 but at the expense of a overly fine micro structure steel that starts to a slick glassy edge at 600g and that's absolutely the highest I would ever take it. At 600 it still has some bite but that's about the max you can take it if you want good aggression as where I can take 154cm up to 1000g and still have good bite and very high keenness. About 1000g is the limit for 154cm as beyond that it will start to get glassy as well just due to the composition. I really would have liked them to do this knife in something like M4 or if staying stainless maybe 20cv since they work with it a lot and have for a long time. Personally I think M4 would have been THE Steel for this design and had they done that I would have bought two of them the day they dropped. Cpm154 will be a great steel for a great many people though as it's very friendly to simple alox abrasive and that's what most people have is a basic alox stone so if it was m4 most people would have a very hard time trying to sharpen it with alox, it will cut it so long as you are using a high quality alox stone but it will be very slow going due to the sheer wear resistance of cpm m4 even when it's ran on the softer side of the optimal range. Cool design that was well made with great fit and finish and a fair normal street price and complete score at 40!

In addition to its slimness, attractive proportions and choice of three blade styles, I really like that the clip does not scream that you have a knife. When clipped into a pocket, it literally looks like a pen clip. There are no cut outs, curves, skull designs or any of that nonsense, and the entire knife sits inside the pocket without any part sticking out.

The 110 on a diet 😄

I bought one of these and carried it for about a week. Pretty overrated for edc in my opinion. They sell this knife as a simple design that is timeless. They are very pretty to look at, but nowadays they're just outclassed in almost every way by knives in the exact same price range. I think that a lot of their resurgence in popularity in the states has to do with nostalgia and a drive for people nowadays to feel different. The amount of mental gymnastics that some youtubers do to defend this simple little knife as a great edc tool is astounding. That being said I will never get rid of my Opinel knife, I value it a whole lot just because of how classical it is and how wonderful it feels to hold

I like tacray e01

Thinking the shift is gonna be my next otf. As an OG i need a smooth switch. Lol

I like the jig and bone color, nice gift knife. 👍

Test Comment

Love a good old user knife. How did you make the notch? Hand file or dremel or do you have a grinder wheel?

Nice mods on this 72 Logan. Great gift indeed. 😊👊🏻

I paid for 3.3 inches and I’m going to use 3.3 inches. 😉

Im pretty sure that bone is called "grizzly cut", but I could be wrong.

I managed to pass on buying Rosecraft until I saw this one - I've had mine three days now and I'm impressed. Although the RC is bigger, the GEC Bull Nose actually gives you more cutting edge, which surprised me.

is the Amazon knife quality good or bad?

Big china stamp... Bleh. No soul to it. Just designed to appeal and sell to western consumers. Still good as hell looking minus the stamp on the blade,surely a decent working knife, not doubting the quality. Not my style however. I have this weird belief hat the more love and pride is poured into an object by its maker/owner the more it gives off a postitive energy and thats one of my favorite things about carrying a knife is carrying something you inherited or someone made specifically for you. Thats what I mean about soul. I carry a crawford knives slipjoint but there are many individual craftsmen that make wonderful stuff even better than these rosecrafts all over the country Sorry for the rant have a good one man.

Did you hear that KLINK?

Nice,, but D2,,, 😢sorry, I prefer stainless,, but still much much better than a Case Sodbuster all day long,,

👍

Купих го. Отличен джобен скалпел.

love this barlow version

Tell me, has the blocking bug been fixed?

Thank you so much for the review! We're happy to hear you enjoyed our belt and that it works for your EDC. Your feedback is also super helpful and we'll take it into consideration for our design team. Next, you'll have to take a look at our knives (new blades coming soon)! 😎

I opted for the same version. I didn't think Ben would ever use bone. I am excited to get mine and check out the fit n finish

My wife got me a black web kore for $60 about 3 years ago and still wear it every day to support knife, gun, mag or whatever I am cc that day. It can hold anything. I Love it and just told the wife I want another for the holidays in brown leather that is less stiff. The way it adjusts is the best.

I do as I have one that my dad had from when he was in the Navy!

Don't forget about the 'barlow' laid back jack, my personal fav!

Very cool, sleek premium ❤

You are right. Kore Essentials is a game changer, not just for belt carry but also for adjustable comfort. I've exclusively worn their leather gun belts for several years now.
