Both are great looking knives, thank you for sharing

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thanks for watching!

[@BolsteredBlades]

Good comparison. Both are good looking knives! Thanks for sharing! 😺⚔️👍🏻

[@BryansKnivesKy]

You bet! Happy to do it!

[@Hammockrider]

A knife for each pocket.

[@deanP.]

Two great knives. Thanks for showing them.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thanks for watching!

[@timballard2647]

The knife Dr sent me over. Really enjoying your content

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thank you so much!

[@davidwilliams1805]

Some great looking knives! I just love Barlows! You did a really good job! Thank you!

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thank you very much!

[@ClarksKentuckyKnives]

Bear and Son! It’s actually a hard choice but if I was deciding in a knife shop on which one I’d go USA. I got a email from red hill cutlery today, they have new Rosecraft barlows in 😊.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Yep, I’ve already ordered one! 😊

[@singingtoad]

Great comparison between these two lovely knives, thanks for sharing. 👍 Take care my friend and Cheers!

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thanks for watching! Same to you, brother!

[@stephenjeffrey75]

You’re the second video today that I’ve seen sporting one of the new Bear &.Son Barlows. AW custom designs featured one as well. I can definitely see one of those in my future. As always, I appreciate the content. Thank you for all you do!

[@BryansKnivesKy]

They are pretty great knives. Beautiful and made in the USA!

[@MikeyNewman1974]

I really really like the Rosecrafts, can't get the bear and son over here in the UK yet, but I'm working on it!

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Hope you get one!

[@SigogglinJack]

Great comparison video!

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thanks!!

[@calebsmith7907]

Looks like they’re nice

[@grantmontgomery1999]

Hi Brian, Army vet here. The Knife doctor sent me. I'm going with the Rose Craft. I'm a sucker for a bolster thread (whatever that groove on the bolster is called) It reminds me of a uniform cuff stripe.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

That RC Barlow is pretty awesome!

[@preppy890]

I am looking to buy the Bear and Son. I already own the Rosecraft which I own several of their traditional and modern knives. They have impeccable quality even with their seconds. Each knife is examined before it is boxed for shipment with Rosecraft.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Yep. It truly shows too. Now if some other knife manufacturers would do the same. 😊😊😊

[@RandysWSG]

All three awesome knives. I love RCB Fit n finish but I love these Bear & Son barlows alot!

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Yep! Both are awesome!

[@j.f.9445]

I loved your video and the explanation you give about that type of knife, apart from that color of knife, you left me speechless.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thanks!

[@Jayhgee57]

Bear and Son have really stepped up their game. Years back, their work was not this good. Over the last few months, I have bought several Bear and Son to support them.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

This was my very first Bear & Son and so I have been very pleased. Glad to see such good work coming out of the USA!

[@Stringz2810]

Both Barlows are very nice knives! In my opinion Bear & Sons is the way to go. For a USA company to put out such a great knife with a working man's price tag is AMAZING!!! Great content, I love traditional knife videos!

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Yep, Bear & Son are doing an amazing job.

[@annasoH323]

Nice comp! Perfct timing with that RCB drop.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thank you!

[@mikeadams2538]

I have knives from both Rose Craft Blades and Bear & Son. I find that RCB has good quality, and very nice “presentation”with their packaging. Bear & Son likewise is high quality, but a lot less in price, as well as American made. No fancy box, just a nice, sharp knife that looks good. Where RCB shines is in their development of unique patterns, and resurrection of some old ones. My heart is with Bear & Son, but RCB is really tugging at me. 😮 Bryan, good to have a fellow Kentuckian talking knives on KZbin!

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Everything you said is spot on. They both make a fine knife. Glad to meet another Kentuckian!! 👊👊

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

All of those were nice. I liked the second one you showed before you showed the Rose Craft knife. I don't own either brand of those knives. But they really look awesome. Thanks for sharing. Good luck to all in Bryan's contest, and Bryan it won't be long you will hit that 500!! Thanks for sharing and I agree with you, don't like those high of temperatures!! Juddie

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thanks for commenting Juddie! Yep, just 34 more to go! Yeah, the heat and humidity make me dread KY summers. At least there’s fishing!

[@Tarheelsteel]

They both look really nice. I don't own any Rosecraft but they seem to be some quality knives.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Both make great knives! I wish RC was USA made - maybe they will be one day!

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Great video thanks for the comparison…… both nice knives but I agree with you the rosecraft has better walk and talk….. stay well 😊

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thanks for watching! Yep, both are pretty great knives.

[@markcarter4484]

Hey it's mark from Columbus ga. I love them both..

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Both are winners in my book!

[@RadioGeekBlades]

Both are very nice but I think I like the Rosecraft a little better. Thanks for showing them to us.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thanks for watching!

[@dougwatkins5441]

Good job Bryan on making that 500 sub mark so fast. Those are some really good looking knives .I was planning to get the red stag bone a day or two ago and I got busy and didnt get on the puter. They are probably sold out by now a lot of folks are talking about them. Thanks Brother

[@BryansKnivesKy]

You’re most welcome!

[@terrell48]

Congratulations on making 500 subscribers, the Knife Doctor recommended your channel, I like the Rose Craft line of knives as well as Bear and Son, been looking at both knives I think I am leaning towards the Rose Craft

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Both are great knives! Thanks for watching!

[@BaxtersBlades]

I really wish that white bone bear was D2 but it is SS. There D2 are the moderns with Trx screws which are more. I think you just slipped the first time. Great comparision Bryon. Thanks for sharing.. I just got my carbon in wood and D2 white bone modern. .

[@BryansKnivesKy]

See, I use notes and still get it wrong. lol. Thanks for clarifying!

[@brianlurten3028]

I don't own a Rosecraft or a Bear & Son. Tough choice but I think I like the white one better. Have a great day

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thx for watching! Both are pretty great knives for sure.

[@Theknifenutbige]

Awesome knives man

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thank you!

[@kennybutler3202]

Nice knives. What's the reasoning for that blade shape?

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Well, I don’t know why Bear & Son chose a sheepsfoot blade but from personal experience I’ve found them to be very useful whether whittling, scoring cardboard, opening packages, etc. Hope that helps!

[@bigjsknives]

Great comparison, I’d definitely go with the B&S, hard to beat USA 🇺🇸 blades!! Thanks for sharing, you will be over that 500 soon!!

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Agree!

[@user-Bladewalker]

I am loving my bear and son large barlow and for the money to be made in the u.s.a. yes sir. I know rosecraft also does great work. Quality is always good.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Yep! B&S knocked that one out of the park.

[@NathanWade-nr5vw]

I love the bear and son more than case it’s just what my choice

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Bear & Son are making some great knives!

[@Millers-old-USA-Knives]

That stag is sweet...

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thank you!

[@terrybranham4536]

Hello Brian the KNIFE DOCTOR sent me over. If Kevin recommends you you must be one of the good ones.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

I sure try to be. I'll never be a Knife Doctor but doing my best!

[@ebertcombs6610]

I like them both but USA made, that’s the way I have to lean. Thanks for the video!

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Good choice!

[@alejandrosanchez7673]

Hi Bryan I Subscribed to your channel. KNIFE DOCTOR recommended you. Welcome to the knife family.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Welcome to my channel! So glad you're here!

[@kathleensmith370]

They are both great, but I favor the Bear and Sons

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Can’t go wrong with the Bear & Sons!

[@KennethKellogg-kt7bf]

B&S high carbon stainless is usually 440.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Thanks for the info!

[@otis3357]

Just what the doctor ordered 😆

[@noexcuses6727]

SPECs say blade is Stainless Steel ???

[@GF-cb8rr]

My Bear and Son 4" Barlow fit and finish was excellent. Great walk and talk. ... Major down side, the blade was not sharp and was thick behind the edge. Will never be a good slicer. That really disappointed me.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

That’s a shame. Mine was sharp right out of the box.

[@bradoverbey4470]

USA please.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Always a good choice.

[@MomoJRchalifoux]

👍🇨🇦

[@Pocket_EDC]

I'll trade you. You come to Canada and I'll move to Kentucky. Just don't try and bring your knives across the border.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

Well, I’m a Kentuckian and don’t have any plans to change that but I’m a Kentuckian who prefers the fall and winter. 😊
