[@josephblair7804]

Not sure when he switched to Magnacut, but they increased the HRC to 63-64 with Rosie 721.

[@lord.needham]

Thank you for the excellent overview!

[@Kens_knives]

Enjoyed your presentation and thoughts on the Rosie .

[@pocketpriorities]

Glad to hear it and thanks much

8:24 Used by Craig Brown, and presumably by Grimsmo Knives as well.

[@sencerr226]

Awesome stuff thanks for the info. I like the dome shaped pivot. Definitly unique

[@lionknives3]

Just beautiful knives

[@cec732]

Another informative video. I really appreciate that you share your research.

[@pocketpriorities]

Thank you!

I wouldn't call it "a very small knife"--- it's substantial relative to how the average person sees pocketknives, and barely legal in many places. Wild that Dan did Harley floors, that makes sense though I'm not sure why. Best knife ever. Own it, love it, live it.

[@pocketpriorities]

What would constitute a very small knife?

[@davidmarshall7752]

@@pocketpriorities *Very* small? Kershaw's Launch series, Ferrum Forge Mini ArchBishop, things like that.

[@pocketpriorities]

@@davidmarshall7752 gotcha, "Very", yeah I have smaller knives so I get that then.

[@jamesmcnitt6860]

I’m curious if you scored one of the 20cv Silver Surfers that were just released. My understanding is that those were the only ones ever made in 20 cv.

[@pocketpriorities]

I didn’t, Magnacut is my jam :)

[@youpaint]

Hey. Have u noticed if any blades are a bit longer than others. I got a silver aurfer in the late 800’s and just recently got a blue radial in the early 1400s. It seems the GP is a bit longer

[@pocketpriorities]

No I haven’t, would need to stack them up, but wouldn’t be terribly surprised if they changed grinding methods or something given it’s a full flat grind and all

[@MR0B0T0]

Do you notice any difference in action between your Rosies? I have #1160 and #1214 (you have their sisters) and 1160 deploys with much greater force (extremely hard to fail open) and the lockbar requires less pressure to operate. #1214 detent is much lighter, and much easier to fail open. Just curious if you notice subtle differences like that among your Rosie collection. Thanks!

[@pocketpriorities]

Yeah subte, maybe not that big a difference… Most different I have is #2204. Did you get them new / first owner? I tend to find most variance after #700 related to condition and finish.

[@MR0B0T0]

@@pocketpriorities had to get these two on the secondary. Haven't had any luck with the lottos or FCFS, unfortunately. Appreciate the feedback!

Awesome video! Just a couple things came to mind when I was watching it. They produced a sfk edc knuck early on and another event to note would be when they switch to their own hardware being machined in house. I don’t know the exact dates but the hardware switched recently (2022).

Awesome info, thank you!

I would love to have one but damn too expensive and super hard to find unless you are able to sell a king or kidney

[@pocketpriorities]

Lol no doubt

[@gtrul3s387]

Tell me you’re not that lucky and won 6 on the lotto😫 hhaha nice rosie collection!

[@pocketpriorities]

[@joshh2953]

Did you get all these from winning their lotteries, or did you purchase on the secondary market?

[@pocketpriorities]

Lotteries - 0, Secondary - 6 😅

[@joshh2953]

Awesome! If you don’t mind me asking, what is the best site to find a Roosevelt and other great knives?

[@pocketpriorities]

@@joshh2953 Reddit, Bladeforums, and the OZ FB Group

[@Kens_knives]

Do you have any other children besides these six? lol!

[@pocketpriorities]
