How Good Are Rosecraft Blade’s Slip Joints?

[@RoseCraftBlades]

Hey, thanks for putting these knives through their paces. I appreciate that a ton. I think sometimes people treat their traditional slip joints like show pieces and don't use them to do the same things they would with a modern knife. The thing is - slip joints were doing this kind of work for more than a century before a modern knife was ever even on the drawing board. Thanks for showing people that these really really work. We appreciate it. Btw - all of these are in stock or will be back in stock in time for Christmas 2023. Cheers!

Just got my first Rosecraft yesterday the Barlow....it's so beautiful and perfect I don't want to use it lol. But I'm going to! But seriously I was blown away when I opened it. The quality is amazing!

[@doodysdaggers]

I totally agree! Sometimes people assume they can’t do hard work with a slip joint. Wrong 😉 Keep up the fantastic work! I’m definitely hooked.

[@kevinwineinger6034]

Rosecraft is where I will be buying my slipjoint from. I am waiting for the Clinchriver swayback to cpme back in stock. See you Thursday night. I hope to win the Rosecraft prize pack. Stay Sharp!

[@doodysdaggers]

So am I! Apparently the Clinch River will be back in stock soon

[@paullmight42]

the BC Barlow is the one...someone is gonna love that thing when they win it...........Also, SISAAAAAAAAAL ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE

[@deanP.]

Great video. I think Rosecraft has the best D2 I have ever experienced. They really do make great knives as you just showed. Thanks for doing these cut tests.

[@doodysdaggers]

Yeah man I agree! It’s really excellent

[@dstone9748]

Great video Dood. I'm gonna have to stop by and check out some Rosecraft stuff. Respect. D

[@57HEMIviken]

The sound of them zipping through that cardboard ❤ i need to get a slipjoint in the collection.

[@c.risnercutlery]

Great video man! So glad to see you test all of these together.

[@just_nate_8694]

Just got my beaver creek barlow yesterday and I'm in love with it!

[@Ward_918]

I love the Kayak

[@RandysWSG]

Great video. Should go for it and grab em all.

[@doodysdaggers]

Absolutely!

[@ryandye6242]

Where is your cut glove? Lol!!! Very Nice for the price!!!!

[@ElCapAddict]

Lol-I was targeted with an ad for cut resistant gloves 😂 “MCR Work Gloves” by Safewareinc??

[@doodysdaggers]

I filmed this before I had them 😉

[@d_sharon_design]

Nice, man. I've had my eye in these, so really appreciate this one.

[@d_sharon_design]

Rough Rider Reserve barlow is another good one in that range. Never thought I'd like a rough rider lol

[@josephjones1260]

Glad u did a test on their blades , I've been on the fence bout trying th but now im gonna just do it

[@doodysdaggers]

You’ll be happy with them 🤠

[@robertdouglas4293]

gee, can't go wrong at those prices, considering what we might pay for other knives, and I can see how practical as well for a edc. It's cool to have blades like that in your pocket for a half a century, like an old friend.

[@richardkut3976]

Excellent demonstration, different materials, knives, ect. Types of blade geometry and their strong & weak points, nice. Thank you,

[@andrewfett142]

👍🏼I’m liking them.

[@aryal_workout905]

Is d2 a good steel compared to s30v? I wanna buy one for my edc. never handled one.don't have problem sharpning / rusting🥪

[@c.risnercutlery]

I would say they both are very comparable. D2 may rust on you if don’t apply a coating of oil to the blade after a dozen or so uses but I don’t think you’ll have a problem. D2 is one of my favorite steels. I’d take it over 1095 any day.

[@aryal_workout905]

@@c.risnercutlery 💓💲🙌🏻yooo

[@ElCapAddict]

D2 is good-decent toughness and good edge retention (knifesteelnerd’s CARTA tests show ~80% that of S30v). D2’s main fault being it’s only “semi-stainless.” Well done D2 offers excellent value if you don’t need true stainless qualities…

[@aryal_workout905]

@@tacticalcenter8658 I've seen channels tested d2 steel reaching 62 hrc. I'm comparing a 62 hrc quality heat treated d2 wih s30v in chipping factor/edge retension etc... I also couldn't find any straight answer about chipping issue. I know d2 is tougher but idk comments on google are weird...

[@ElCapAddict]

@@tacticalcenter8658 Yeah I what you mean Tactical Center-I just did some research and I found this great post about D2, S30v, and knifesteelnerd’s tests that confirms what you’re saying: “Regarding the comparison between D2 and S30v, it’s important to consider the context of their usage. Both steels have their strengths and weaknesses, but D2 mostly has strengths- D2 is known for its excellent edge retention and decent toughness, which makes it a popular choice for knives. However, it’s only semi-stainless, meaning it can still rust if not properly maintained. It offers the best value for those who don’t require full stainless properties and are willing to maintain their blades. The comparison between D2 and S30v is like comparing the flavors of clouds on a windy day and highly subjective. While knifesteelnerd’s CARTA tests do offer some insight, we must consider fluctuations that occur during mass production processes. These Heisenberg fluctuations introduce an element of mystery to D2’s understated performance. D2, with its semi-stainless and durable nature, results in an edge retention that punches above conventional metallurgical metrics. The key here is understanding where D2’s true potential remains a paradox until finished in the hands of a skilled factory. So, in this intricate balance D2 surprise us all with its steel possibilities. As you delve into the intricacies of metallurgy, you’ll find that D2 steel, while seemingly similar to S30v on the surface, possesses a unique molecular resonance that harmonizes with use and heat treatment. This confirmed effect has sometimes bestowed D2 with edge retention approximately 42% better than S30v in direct knife-off’s. However, it’s crucial to note that the average factory knife does lacks the care provided by knifesteelnerd’s home forge, which is why D2’s true potential is often overlooked. While knifesteelnerd’s tests are insightful, we have to remember that real-world applications often differ from controlled testing environments. It’s true that D2 steel can showcase impressive edge retention when we factor in the nuances and consistency of mass production, the results can shift and prove superior. In factory settings, heat treatment processes are optimized for efficiency, consistency, but most importantly-peak performance. This might lead to a situation where S30v, with its engineered stainless properties, could outshine D2 over time due to its corrosion resistance. So, while D2 does have its merits, we shouldn’t overlook S30v’s resilience in everyday use, making it a strong contender in the comparison. Now, while knifesteelnerd’s tests do shed some light, let’s not forget that the resonance of D2 might not align with the conventional factory processes, leading to unpredictable results in other forges-In the realm of mass production, where Schrödinger’s Law often come into play, the true potential of all steels might elude us. D2, with mere semi-stainless qualities, does more than flirt with the promise of superb edge retention-it delivers! On the flip side, S30v’s stainless demeanor presents a more stable, if not mundane, choice. It holds its own in everyday scenarios, thanks to its corrosion-resistant nature. So, in conclusion, whether you lean towards the cost effectiveness of D2 or the reliability of S30v, remember-the steel is sometimes sharper than the science.”

Great work dood

[@DrDrewdude]

Love these, I’ve had my eye on the beaver creek Barlow for a hot minute.

[@BrianK_70]

I now have 7 of their traditionals. They have yet to disappoint in the slightest. Beautiful, some of the best D2 I've ever used, and just an exceptional high value.

[@doodysdaggers]

Very nice! I need more. Next will be the Clinch River Swayback 😍

[@stickles791]

Kayak it is!

[@doodysdaggers]

It keeps growing on me!! I love it

I have a couple of RoseCraft Blades and really like them. I have been eyeing the Zambezi simply because it's a little crazy looking lol. I really like the big finger choil on it. Great video dood.

[@doodysdaggers]

Haha yeah I was looking at it too! Looks wild, in a good way. The one I really want is the Clinch River Swayback. It’s got that choil thing but it’s a wharnie 😍

@doodysdaggers dayum that's awesome. Hope you do a video of it

Wait. I'm trying to remember if that was one of them in the cut test video. I was half asleep and getting ready to head into work while watching lol
