My first purchase of 2x RC stags was so rewarding that I had to snag another. Thanks Corn Creek!

You are welcome Rick! It's in the mail.

Just took delivery of this RC Barlow from Corn Creek. Here it is with its family now. I have no reason to criticize these knives. They are affordable, better than anything else I'm aware of in the price range, no brass, no gaps, no wobble, solid lock up, great stag. Razor sharp, great snap both ways, solid half stops.

They are so good lookin, I hate to carry them but for the price, why not?

I'll chime in here one more time and agree with everything that was said. These are great knives to collect, EDC, trade or whatever you do. Here is my collection so far and I say that because I plan on purchasing more. Most of these came from our own Tony at Corn Creek Cutlery.

A Obed Creek Bow Trapper RCT015 would add RoseCraft's coolest shield to your collection, their skull shield. Corn Creek Cutlery has them.

The Stag Savage Creek Gunstock is back and releasing this week!
Available in my AAPK Store Friday March 28th early AM.
Most of what I have in stock is dark in color, fat handled, and pretty gnarly.
I will be away Friday & Saturday, selling at a knife show. Orders will be promptly shipped Monday the 31st.
Thanks for looking!

The RoseCraft Blades Savage Creek Jack Genuine Stag features a 2.8″ D2 clip point with a brushed satin finish, heavy swedging, and a half stop. The covers are Genuine Stag with brushed steel pinched bolsters, steel liners, and nickel silver pins. It’s 3.625″ closed, 6.4″ overall, and weighs just 3.1oz. This pattern was inspired by a NON-XLL pattern, re-imagined by Andy Armstrong.

RoseCraft got another run of the Stinking Creek Sowbelly in.
I have them now in my AAPK Store: https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/ca ... _id=112316

Good lookers around here. Had this one out, think I'll carry it some. Thanks CCC.

Fresh in from Tony at Corn Creek Cutlery.
Red Deer Stag Stinking Creek Sowbelly, along with a little something extra thrown in from Tony.
I ordered on Sunday, he shipped on Monday. USPS tracking said it would deliver this Saturday, but it made it here a couple of days early. No complaints here!
Rosecraft puts together a mighty fine knife.
Thanks, Tony!

Now, still waiting for them to put out a stockman

Mud Creek Congress in Burl Wood. Exceptional F&F, W&T as expected from Rosecraft. Feels like a beefier GEC #62 Whip

I only quoted you to get your attention. Is there any hope that Rosecraft will make any more slip joints with more than one blade? Rosecraft does not have much selection in multi-blade knives.

Modern, I know that they are are not going to design any more modern knives, in order to focus on traditionals. Future multi blades ... I do not know anything yet. For my inventory, I have not ordered any of the last couple new releases. Like you and others, I want to see a Whittler or a Stockman.

My local Case dealer is a master dealer or whatever they call the top level and the man who is in charge of the knives at this store told me about them and showed me some about 9 months ago. I have had 3 or 4 counting the one I own and am selling now in my hands and they are of exceptional quality. If they had a higher quality steel and were made in the US these knives would command a pretty good price. The Clinch River Swayback-GrayBone that I have just feels like a solid knife, from the time you touch them you can see they aren't like your usual China knife. I need the money but I like the knife so much I don't care if it sells or not to be honest. That is how much I like these knives. Also my knife guy at the store told me that if they can get the company going good they are wanting to move production to Tennessee in the future. It will probably never happen but that's what he told me.

See they have ditched Modern Tactical folders and are only going to produce Traditional Folders from now on.

I think that’s a smart play on their part. You have sooo many tactical knives to choose from especially in that 30-60 dollar range. Must have been hard to compete and make a decent profit. I think what they are doing with traditional folders is commendable and wish them well. I would like to see whittlers, stockmans, sowbelly stockmans and other multi bladed knives being produced. Maybe this will give them the room to do that?

Sgt., their Moose is one of my two favorite Rose Craft knives. It's on the large side for some members but I like a belt pouch.

Got this new one in the mail today! As far as my eyes and my untrained mind can tell
these are some of the best made and affordable knives on todays market. They are
only 4 years old but if anyone has been carrying one as a daily work knife I sure would
like to hear how it has stood up.

"The RoseCraft Blades Cumberland River Coke Bottle Light Brown Micarta.
This one-bladed slip joint features a 3″ D2 clip point blade with heavy swedging,
a half stop, and a brushed satin finish. The covers are light brown Micarta with
brushed steel bolsters, steel liners, nickel silver pins and the Spades shield.
It’s 4″ closed, 7″ overall, and weighs just 2.9oz." $52.99
