At first look I didn't like how this knife's profile tapers from large to smaller at the butt, but after seeing your pictures, I'm not so sure.....

Do you know if RCB has any plans for a gunstock with a single spear-point blade, Tony, in black of course? Thx!

Stock whited out photos like most sites have don't truly show a knife's character, in my opinion Mark. That is why I take my own, with different angles, etc. I ask Andy about the spear point ... no plans currently. I think your described design would be great!!

After seeing Mark's pictures below, Tony, my thoughts are again quickly changing about this knife, just like they did after viewing your pictures, thanks for cluing me in to why that is.
A gunstock body, a single big fat spear-point blade, jet-black wooden/micarta/G-10/bone covers, how could they not have plans for that! It's a shame, huh?

Got mine from Tony today along with a polishing cloth he included, thank you Tony. This is my third Rosecraft Blades knife and I must say it is a brand worth collecting. No idea if the value of these will hold or go up over time, but for the quality and price they are worth your time and money.
This knife is more stout than it looks. The blade stock is pretty thick and so is the spring so it has a surprising amount of tension and snaps very crisply with a bit of a hard pull, but not a thumb breaker. Very nice centering on the blade and a tight run up. I like that it has no brass, that’s a big selling point for me.

Mark, isn't there an old saying ... "A picture is worth a thousand words"?
There are some more new RCB designs coming in the near future, but I do not know yet what style the blades will be.

Very interesting. Thanks for that info.

Modern Slip Joints wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2024 5:17 pm Thanks to Corn Creek Cutlery's fast shipping I can comment on a brief inspection of the Mosquito Lake Moose. Blades close centered in their wells. Blades are not the advertised 2.8". Both are 3 1/4". Springs feel flush with the back & smooth open and closed. The walk or blade rotation feels smooth with strong snaps into all positions. Springs are stiffer than most slip joints. A shorter clip and swage on the master would have allowd the nail nick to be positioned further from the hinge providing as much leverage as the spear blade nail nick. The clip blade is harder to open than most slip joint blades. However, I'm very happy with the Moose.
