Here’s another one of the new for July Rosecraft pieces, the Buffalo River Jack. This one sees RoseCraft returning to the very core of its brand identity with a straight putt take on the time-tested principles of slipjoint knife design.
While there is plenty of appreciation in the traditional knife community for the multi-bladed patterns, it seems like RoseCraft CEO and designer Andy Armstrong favors the single-blade jack models – and it’s easy to see why. The jack knife is really the root of the entire, enormous, multi-branched EDC knife tree, the concept of a daily utility tool distilled down to its very essence. It’s so ubiquitous and intuitive that even the most knife-averse person would be able to pick it up and use it with little to no fuss.
I can’t deny that I always love to see Rosecraft cross my feed. It is a local company staffed by folks that we have known for years, or decades in the case of Andy and Mark. I am looking forward to watching them continue to grow.
