Heinnie Haynes has got them in stock and listed as UK legal. The cutting edge was the deciding factor for a legal carry here in the UK but I understand now the blade length inclueds the ricasso. I still might pick one up. The quality looks to be extremely good. Nice review.
This is my favorite knife from Rosecraft so far. I think it looks fantastic. Andy did a great job with this design! Thanks for showing this one off, my friend!
Pretty cool. I'm enjoying the Rosecraft content I'm seeing across the board lately. Seems like their knives both traditional and modern are really taking off. Been thinking mighty seriously about grabbing their Little Chonk design to a wharncliffe flipper in the rotation.
Hey TK. I just received this one today. I agree it is very much like a rough ryder reserve. Very well constructed. I was a little slow on ordering it because of the pry bar. I'm glad I finally got it because it's a great knife. Thanks for your review.
I've been remodeling my kitchen and have had this knife with me every day. The pry bar works well on standard paint cans and doesn't mar (doesn't even touch) the micarta or liners. The blade shape-size-thickness is handy for a number of tasks.
Thanks, TK. I picked up one of these for my wife's BDay gift to me for later next week 😉. She knows I enjoy AA's work with RR/RRR knives, and would enjoy the small pry for the woodshop.. She did good 👍.
Being a machinist many of our tooling use solid carbide or carbide inserts, but carbide is very brittle, so we have to rely on high speed steel. D2 is a high speed steel, so I appreciate it very much.
really good-looking knife, the micarta looks like a painted wood, but more durable, swedge on the blade looks very good, pry bar makes knife a little different, thanks for showing it!
I've got one in the mail right now. 👍 Andy said it was also sold with cigars as a package when they used to brad wooden cigar boxes closed so you would use the knife's pry tip to open the cigar boxes.
@@ThriftyKaniffy everything about my experience with RCB was flawless from start to finish. Great website, easy to order, perfect shipping & handling. The knife arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. The fit of the seams along the back spring are so flawless you can barely tell there is a seam. The pull is super-strong -- which is what I prefer. Perfect centering on the satin blade. Honest Abe: can't find anything wrong with the RoseCraft Blades Appalachian Jack!
Since seeing Rosecraft Blades Clinch River knife, I have been checking in to see when they became available and always looked past this one because of the pry bar. Then BigRed EDC came out with the video and she looked good in her closeups so I purchased one from Blue Creek Knives. Using BRE's discount, it cost me $30.59 and free shipping. Bryan had it shipped in thirty minutes on Cyber Monday! It is a beautiful, well made knife with a stout pull which I don't mind at all. I accepted the pry bar quicker than a double shot of whiskey on a cold night. And, that was just because of how nicely it flowed with the rest of the knife. Then I realized what an effective tool it would make on say...a skull. I tried it in a sheath you demonstrated and it does fit nicely. While I was purchasing this knife, I saw that the Rough Ryder Reserve Barlow was available so I got it also and saved with the discount code. I have been looking for it for some time now and was surprised to see it. Again it is very well made and fits deep in the small version of the slip you showed but a lanyard would help extract it. She also fits and looks great in a leather Bic style lighter protector made by Hide and Drink from Amazon.
Hey TK, she is a classy carry, for sure! I've seen a few videos on some of Rosecraft's pieces and I'm lovin' them! 🤩 Thanks for sharing buddy, Atb Gus 👍
Yo thrifty I ordered the whole line of SMKW moon glow knives wait till you see the sowbelly and they glow too!!!! Yeah I’m pumped on this series….. hurry up head over and order them up there selling fast 😊
Not a common feature for a traditional, so if you're into that sort of thing I can see this being a real good option. Thanks for watching NS, I appreciate it buddy.
Looks well made and D2 is good edc steel, personally I’d grind the pry bar off for pocket carry.This design would be a good candidate for easy opener notch in the handle if they left a little more steel toward the top of blade point .
Great, after watching your video....I ended up ordering this RCB...thanks, my wife is gonna kill me now....just ordered the Sabacc from RRR last week!!! lol...Great video and with good points on these RCB knives, as mentioned...these are pretty identical with RRR knives and 100 % fact that these are coming from the exact same factory!! Also love the fact that you actually can remove the CHINA sticker!! Funny thing is, RRR knives all about 20-25 dollar more,,,,I guess RCB folks are making money too on their blades....so my guess is SMKW is milking its customers pretty bad...lol I love all these old designs/patterns and really hope to see more to come!! OK, Andy....get to work....!!!
@@ThriftyKaniffy I'll be doing a video on it, couldn't believe all the SWAG that Blue Creek throws in their shipments. Candy/Cards/Stickers/Can Coozy.. Highly impressed with that.
I was hoping you would find which design this came from. Nice job on molding the slip. It looks like a nice knife. I don’t think I would use the pry much but it might save a blade!
The pry isn't as big of a deal or annoyance as I thought it'd be. It's grown on me in person actually. The price is very fair for what you get. Thanks, RJ.
The pry bar is a nice touch….I remember my father breaking off the end of a case slim line trapper trying to pry something on the screen door…I’ll never forget the oh shit look on his face.
Happy Saturday TK, thanks for the new review, a very handsome looking knife & reasonably priced too although with a 3 1/4" sized blade I prefer a locking blade, in fact I prefer a locking blade on any knife with a blade with a cutting edge over 2 5 " . I wonder if you can fit a Kwik thumb stud on it to make it a one handed opener?
I bought a kershaw culpepper.the steel in that thing isn't much it will not stay sharp if you get it a little sharp use it one time and it needs honed.
Very nice knife , at a good price . I could live without the pry bar feature . If the knife is a copy of a old IXL design I wonder if the " pry bar " wasn't A slot head screwdriver in the original design . Maybe marketed as a small folding hunter or bird knife ( thus the clip point ) with a screw driver for field disassembly of a firearm . Great review . Peace , Be Free .
I've seen some IXL "Soldier's knives " ( circa 1940s , I believe ) that have a similar tool on the rear of the knife . Thanks for the reply . Continued success with the channel.
We can buy and own knives of that size but just can't carry in public, I have bought similar knives and reprofiled blades to just under 3 inches to be able to carry, with this particular knife I don't think it would look nice with quarter of an inch taken off the blade, shame they hadn't made is a bit smaller good looking knife.
Thanks for the tip about the pocket slip. I have just pocket dropped mine a couple of days since I got it, but the slip will make carry better. I have no idea about patterns from 100 years ago, but GEC's Calf Pen Jack from a few years ago had a pry. If memory serves it was on their 35 frame
Hey Thrifty how are you ? Listen you know since I found your channel I always tune in that is the cool thing about a smaller channel cuz you get to know of us right somewhat ? So what I'd like to share with you is this I know of another channel whom gets approx the same amount of views and Twosun just sent him 3 different knifes for a review now free is Thrifty Freefty see what I did there look into it and besides a Good honest review and price point can you start adding weight for me as I am a picky prick best of luck brother . 🙏🏻
Lately I include the weight in a slideshow photo. Stick around for the whole video and you'll see it. My email is available for anyone who would like to contact me about reviews. I don't actively seek them out.
@@ThriftyKaniffy Rodger that The slide show pics are unreal how good they are perfect lighting and I like how you get the tang stamp close enough to read it . Hey what's your favorite knife out of your collection ? Peace . 🙏🏻
Not a fan of Armstrong..I think his designs are way off the mark..he says his knives are inspired by a lot of things that don’t exist lol..that knife looks pretty good..very much RR..Thank you for sharing
It's nice to see old designs come back.
This one is an interesting pattern with the pry. Cool. Thanks, William.
Rosecraft are killing it. I'm going to snatch up their surgeon's knife as soon as it drops for sure!
That's one I'm interested in as well. Thanks, Semi.
Heinnie Haynes has got them in stock and listed as UK legal. The cutting edge was the deciding factor for a legal carry here in the UK but I understand now the blade length inclueds the ricasso. I still might pick one up. The quality looks to be extremely good. Nice review.
It was just a matter of getting over the pry for me. Thanks, David.
This is my favorite knife from Rosecraft so far. I think it looks fantastic. Andy did a great job with this design! Thanks for showing this one off, my friend!
Happy to hear you are fan of it. I really like mine and I've carried it several times since getting it. Be well, David.
Pretty cool. I'm enjoying the Rosecraft content I'm seeing across the board lately. Seems like their knives both traditional and modern are really taking off. Been thinking mighty seriously about grabbing their Little Chonk design to a wharncliffe flipper in the rotation.
I've looked at the Chonk too. Haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Hey TK. I just received this one today. I agree it is very much like a rough ryder reserve. Very well constructed. I was a little slow on ordering it because of the pry bar. I'm glad I finally got it because it's a great knife. Thanks for your review.
Yes I was much the same, thought I'd not like the pry. In reality it really doesn't bother me and might be useful someday.
Good to see traditional patterns as well from this company, they seem to do a good job on all their patterns. Thank you for the review TK.
They're doing a great job from what I can tell. Good knives both modern and traditional.
I've been remodeling my kitchen and have had this knife with me every day. The pry bar works well on standard paint cans and doesn't mar (doesn't even touch) the micarta or liners. The blade shape-size-thickness is handy for a number of tasks.
That sounds like an excellent use of the pry, Ralphie. This is a well done traditional. Props to Rosecraft.
Really nice. I like a lot of things about the knife. The blade shape, the handle, the color comes to mind.
Lots of positives about the Jack. It's been a fun carry.
Thanks, TK. I picked up one of these for my wife's BDay gift to me for later next week 😉. She knows I enjoy AA's work with RR/RRR knives, and would enjoy the small pry for the woodshop.. She did good 👍.
Good quality knife for a fair price. The pull is excellent, right at that perfect weight. Women are pretty great aren't they.
Being a machinist many of our tooling use solid carbide or carbide inserts, but carbide is very brittle, so we have to rely on high speed steel. D2 is a high speed steel, so I appreciate it very much.
Interesting, thanks for that Alpine.
Rosecraft has caught my attention, but I haven't purchased any of their knives yet. Thanks for sharing, TK!
I'm pretty impressed with this one. Well made, really good pull which is a big deal to me. Thanks, Tom.
Don't remember who showed it, but I saw an old catalog with a similar design, except it had a spear point blade.
The original had a pry, so that's what I was mostly looking for. Thanks, Rusty.
really good-looking knife, the micarta looks like a painted wood, but more durable, swedge on the blade looks very good, pry bar makes knife a little different, thanks for showing it!
The pry gives it a unique splash, though the shape and blade pull is what gets me excited about the AJ. Thanks, Jose.
That is a very attractive knife. I'm quite impressed with the knives I've seen so far from RCB.
They've come out of the gate strong. I'll be getting another. Thanks Rick.
Beautiful knife! Love Andy's designs! I got me one of those great knife!!!
Very RRR like. I'm enjoying mine and it's grown on me since handling it. Thank you Mike.
I've got one in the mail right now. 👍
Andy said it was also sold with cigars as a package when they used to brad wooden cigar boxes closed so you would use the knife's pry tip to open the cigar boxes.
Oh really okay, now that is cool. Thanks for the info.
I like it reminds me of a knife I found when I was a kid Yup still got it . Have a Good weekend everyone .
Thanks Craig. You have a good weekend as well.
Fantastic review. Thank you so much for taking a look at our Appalachian Jack!
And thank you for having a look at the review. Appreciate you guys. Keep up the good work!
Love love love! More videos are coming out on this knife. I love trader patterns now. Mine is on the way.
Excellent Rock, let us know how you like it.

Been waiting on your take on this 1 -- Def 1 been keeping my eye on in their series-- thx for the look n the vid 👍🍻🍻💥
Glad I could help, Chad. Good knife.
That’s a nice looking knife. I appreciate the built in pry bar. I always liked the Kershaw Barge for that reason and was sad when it was discontinued.
Not a common feature for a traditional, so if you're into that sort of thing I can see this being a real good option. Thanks for watching NS, I appreciate it buddy.
I'll be interested to hear you revisit the usefulness of that pry.
Sometimes called a curved jack
It's a slip carry. The pry could wear out pockets if one is no mindfull.
Yep, that's exactly what it is. Thanks Zen. The pry doesn't really offend as much as I though it would, it blends in to the handle shape pretty well.
Looks well made and D2 is good edc steel, personally I’d grind the pry bar off for pocket carry.This design would be a good candidate for easy opener notch in the handle if they left a little more steel toward the top of blade point .
Considered the same thing until I got it in hand and the pry really doesn't bother me like I'd thought it would.

@@ThriftyKaniffy Yes Sir
Nice pocket knife. It has a Brother knives vibe to it.
Brother & Rough Ryder Reserve as well. Thanks, Stefan.
Nice looking knife maybe a little large for me! would need a slip I think so the pry bar cant dig into your leg? great review TK.
Yes, the Rough Rytder large slip works well.

Excellent glad it's working well for you. Seems pretty darn sturdy and sharp.

@@ThriftyKaniffy ok thanks for the reply! Will check them out!
Very nice knife , at a good price . I could live without the pry bar feature .

A slot head screwdriver in the original design . Maybe marketed as a
small folding hunter or bird knife ( thus the clip point ) with a screw driver for field disassembly of a firearm .

I've been told it was a design promoted with cigars and the pry was used to open the cigar box.

rear of the knife . Thanks for the reply . Continued success with the channel.
Sad to hear the original buffalo horn for this knife failed to meet fit and finish standards, but I like the pattern so much, micarta is good to go.
Yea horn has a tendency to bow and swell, the micarta is pretty basic but it's well done.
Not sure about the pry bar. Seems a bit gimmicky. May still order one but on the fence. Getting a bit tired of Micarta traditional.
This is based on a 100 year old knife. Andy A. seems to like that kinda thing, never a straightforward design. Thanks, HAKD.
I must be weird, I carry a maxscout4 no issues being a large knife.
But living in Floriduh... you never know.
It's not an issue for many, just depends on what you're used to really.
Good looking knife but looks like a Pocketful and then some
Getting to that critical point in length for a regular pocket carry. Thanks John.
I like this knife..price is good too. This company puts out nice work
RoseCraft has been doing a good job. Looking forward to their Surgeon's knife as well. Thanks, Alan

Pretty sure it was given roughly the same frame dimensions and blade length as the design it was inspired by.
